Home plate umpire/crew chief Dan Bellino and first base umpire Phil Cuzzi discuss the sequence of events that led to Scherzer’s ejection during Wednesday’s game.
New York Mets starting pitcher Max Scherzer was ejectedafter umpires repeatedly checked the three-time Cy Young Award winner’s hand and glove for a sticky substance.
Mets manager Buck Showalter said after the game that Scherzer was ejected for having rosin on his glove and Scherzer was adamant that it was nothing more than “sweat and rosin.” Scherzer says when he was asked to wash his hand, he did so with alcohol . If deemed to have violated the MLB rule on sticky substances, Scherzer faces an automatic 10-game suspension, which the eight-time All-Star told reporters after the game he would plan to appeal.
