New York Mets pitcher Max Scherzer was ejected in the third inning of Wednesday’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers because, according to umpires Phil Cuzzi and Dan Bellino, his hands were way too sticky.
Scherzer was adamant he didn’t break any rules about sticky substances and claimed after the game that all he had on his hands was rosin and sweat. It turned out he made a similar argument to the umpires on the field before he was ultimately ejected.
