Went back and rewatched the 8th and 9th:

- Mracna threw almost exclusively fastballs and change ups. If there was a curve anywhere in there I didn’t see it or he botched the throw

- he was sitting 92-95 which has been his average all season. So if he was using a sticky substance, it wasn’t for velocity on his fastball and it wasn’t for a breaking pitch (he didn’t throw one)

- the 6 A&M strikeout pitches were:
1. Swing and a miss on a 95 mph fastball that was up
2. Watching a 94 mph fastball go down the middle
3. Swing and a miss on a 95 mph fastball that was up
4. Swing and a miss on a 92 mph fastball that was up
5. Called checked swing on a 94 mph fastball inside
6. Swing and a miss on 95 up and out

Feel free to rewatch and check me on any of this but he just pitched 2 good innings (which has been his norm all year; we had him as starter first half of the season and he was usually good until the 3rd/4th when he started getting wild and missing spots and getting shelled as a result)

Yep. Texas A&M barstool said his velo was “way up” but that’s just not true at all, nor would sticky stuff affect it much.

It’s the kind of thing people lie about when they don’t think anyone will bother to check them.

Yeah, he’s definitely got something on his glove.

But I think if it was some heavy diet of crazy nasty curveballs I’d feel a lot worse about it.

I don’t believe there is an addendum in the rule book that says “foreign substance are okay as long as you aren’t throwing curveballs”. What the frick are you even talking about? He was using a foreign substance to assist him. It’s a violation.
