Despite the Mets' 5–3 win over the Dodgers on Wednesday, the focus after the game was on the ejection of ace Max Scherzer.
New York's ace was adamant he was not cheating or using any foreign substance despite crew chief Phil Cuzzi’s decision to throw him out of the game after finding a sticky substance on his glove. More perplexing was that Scherzer’s glove was inspected and the three-time Cy Young winner was ordered to change it just one inning prior.
During postgame interviews, the star pitcher said he would have to be an 'idiot' to come back out in the fourth inning using an illegal substance [knowing an inspection was imminent].
