So I'd say foreign substance on a pitchers arm is worse cheating than "knowing" about deflated balls so of course Will Smith is going to be suspended for at least 30 games, the Brewers will be fined multiple million dollars and lose 5+ draft picks...right?
LOL. I heard an interview with a former MLB manager, he said that nearly every pitcher is using something to help his grip on the ball. His statement was to simply watch the pitcher and see where he repetitively touches before the pitch. Bill of the hat, arm, belt, inside the waist band, all are places that they hide pine tar or other substances. Everybody knows it, just part of the game.
