joeynach Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 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. ??????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nokona Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 El Duque wets his hat every game. That's why he's always adjusting. That could be considered cheating as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

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.

AngelasDaddy0427 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
