Im watching the 9th inning of the game today and jenks is pitching. After he gets an out he steps off the mound and does a strange little routine. He has a big white puff on the back of his hat and some strange substance under the brim just to the right of the center. He steps off licks his hand then touches the back white puff then wipes on his shirt, then licks again and touches the under brim part then wipes a little then gets back on the mound and pitches.

 

Its a little strange, like the Juilan Tavarez incident. Dont know if its rosin or pine tarr or what but he does it all the time. He goes hat, shoulder wipe, brim shoulder wipe, butt wipe, etc etc. ???????

as long as your off the rubber you can do that.

I heard scratching your balls was cheating too.

It's rosin. Not illegal at all.

El Duque wets his hat every game. That's why he's always adjusting.

 

That could be considered cheating as well.

Why wouldnt he just use the rosin bag then. Thats what its there for.

Would you rather touch the back of your hat after evey pitch or walk to the back of the mound pick up a sack, toss it around for a bit and throw it back down?

Perhaps it's China white?

It's from his powdered donuts.

haha we were talkin abotu this last time el duque was on the mound.....supposedly its just rosin, which isnt illegal, but you can bank on it...in the playoffs, those hats will be checked by opposing managers

And you weigh 275.

Supposedly 275 most likely a bit more.

You got Umps, Players, and managers with all eyez on him...If they suspected something, wouldn't they say somethin?? Cause if you notice it, I'm sure the other guys can also. And Jenks would have to have some balls to "cheat." He's not exactly hiding what he's doing or being sneaky about it.

You can't cheat velocity.

You can't cheat velocity.

 

Yeah, that too..also he left some hangers up there..maybe he neeeded some pine tar.

I have to agree... Pine tar doesn't give him a 100 MPH fastball... I can't imagine why he'd need to cheat or why he'd risk it...

A little extra bite on that slider/curve.

Which is why you changed your handle, eh, Chea..., I mean Gene? Protecting the guilty?

 

He bought some from Palmiero, who was selling the rosin really cheap for some reason.
