Scherzer’s agent, Scott Boras, stated in an announcement that the sticky scenario is totally different to totally different folks and umpires.
“No one can explain what is too sticky,” Boras stated. “There aren’t any items of stickiness to quantify. How do you appropriately implement? MLB makes an attempt to degree the enjoying area by utilizing requirements that aren’t measurable. Further, one umpire has a stickiness customary that’s totally different than all different umpires.
“Under this standard, players are not given due process of how to use an approved substance provided by the league,” Boras added. “This reminds me of a local wine taster — he likes what likes.”
