Puig had a 3-1 count on him and the ball was thrown out of the strike zone and struck him. Ball four, scored as a walk. -Umpire Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the pitcher years ago got caught throwing a file away while on the mound? But radio heads today said catcher or batter can call for a new ball. I never see indications of that therefore I thought perhaps a rule was in play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I've heard of Vaseline being hid inside the pitchers glove or behind an ear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
