Oh, I think Farrell will definitely talk to them, but if/when Buchholz goes to that nappy wick of his between pitches that will be a trip to the mound. Or the rubbing the forearms.
I have no clue! I have been wondering the same as well since heck even when this issue became public last year with Buchholz. I assume rosin doesn't give as much bite to breaking pitches and that's why pitchers use pine tar instead. Pine tar = rosin bag on steroids.
Something like that. And yes, how hard is it to hide the friggen stuff? It's almost like he was seeing how long he could get away with it....
A lot of pitchers DO use it, most are not so blatant about it. But just because hitters can use it doesn't make it OK for pitchers to use it....hitters don't throw the ball, they just use it to hold on to the bat. It's not an advantage for the hitter to use it in terms of hitting, but (at least IMO) it's an advantage for a pitcher to use it. Plus, that's what the damn rosin bag is for....
