Where is that graphic from? He definitely wasn’t throwing 82mph fastballs

C.S. LEWIS: Integrity is doing what is right, even when no one is looking.

UGA closer and ChexMix: integrity isn’t worth it, just hope I don’t get caught


Guess teaching my 10yr old that it’s better to lose than cheat is becoming the minority opinion these days. Very sad IMO

I think he is just peeing in a botttle in the corner…

Every single game. pro and. college..
every single pitcher.. both teams..
grabs his hat between pitches..
90+% of the time..

That didn’t use to happen..
you do the math..

They are all using sticky stuff..

And yes, if helps fastballs too..
a stronger grip allows more control..
and consequently more RPM..
and more movement..
even on fastballs..

All that being said. this is a bad look..
but all the pitchers are doing it..

What would Georgia's baseball record be if they didn't cheat?

Can't tell me they waited until 3rd game of a late season series to put shite on balls.

It’s definitely a very suspicious video. But in Mracna’s defense:

1. No, he has not been “lit up all season”. He had a 4.24 ERA going into last night. Which is honestly about average for a starter

2. He’s always been a high strikeout guy. 57 K in 36 IP this season

3. Sticky stuff mostly improves spin rate, not velocity, and he was shoving fastballs down their throat last night.


That video definitely doesn’t look good for him. But a lot of fake news being spread by Aggies on Twitter saying Mracna was basically a total bum before last night. Definitely not the case


Not all fastballs are the same. The rotation on them does matter.

Looking like the game 3 starting was using it also.
Some chatter now that's how they beat Clemson in the midweek game.

It's a shame Condons season is gonna be overshadowed by this.

I don’t like this **** having access to the board. Not that it matters what I think, or what any other Dawg fan thinks.

That’s kind of the point. Good of you to openly acknowledge it.

I could care less. We won with GA cheating or not. Hell, even more impressive if they tried doctoring the ball thru the series.

If they did cheat, this wasnt the 1st GA pitcher in the series to do it. And getting six Aggie hitters in a row is certainly suspect. But makes no difference to A&M as GA fell on their faces in Game 2. Not enough sticky substance available to overcome their disadvantages.

Looks like his was scrubbing his balls. So could be some truth about a jizz bucket.

There are many stills and videos of him pinching his glove on the mound. He was doctoring it. But nothing can be done at this point.

The odds of the UGA pitcher striking out those last 6 particular batters is less than 1 percent, using their strikeout rate as a predictor — the cumulative probability is 0.1%, and it hasn’t come close to happening all season.

Sorrell 27.43%
Chestnut 26.23%
Grohavoc 26.39%
LaViolette 22.43%
Montgomery 17.37%
Appel 10.18%

bingo. they deadened the bats and instead of going back, they just changed the balls instead to make them more hitter friendly, at the expense of pitching.

These melts are delicious. Almost every pitcher does this, only Aggy would turn it into a full blown investigation
