Pineda ejected in the 2nd inning because of pine tar on his neck. Never seen that before. Why he doesn't do a better job of hiding it I have no idea, especially after last start against us.

I was half watching the game. I wondered why he was already out. LOLOLOL
That was in the first inning....when he had no [visible] pine tar on him. Second inning he had it on his neck and got 2 quick outs less than 10 pitches. It's no coincidence if you ask me...Lol, I might had let him stay in after giving up two runs
It looked like a battle wound, lol. I know John Farrell didn't want to have to say anything about it, but Pineda didn't really give him a choice. Not to mention we want a good chance at a win against the Yankees, and this certainly helps.

Was Pineda touching his neck in between pitches? Was there pine tar on the ball too?It looked like a battle wound, lol.

+1 is 100% correct. On your second point YOU are the bigger idiot if you think Buchholz or Lester will have visible pine tar on them pitching against the Yankees. You don't think Farrell will address this to them personally? And both [Lester and Buchholz] have only had 1 instance of it being visible while pitching, Pineda has had it visible every start so far this season.All I can say is:
1. Pineda is clueless in the hiding it aspect
2. Farrell opened a can of worms now
If you think for a second Girardi won't slap down on Buchholz and Lester or anyone else, you're a bigger idiot than Pineda.
Ha, well played.It was a hickey from Arod.
Well there is no way to know how often he was touching his neck because the camera is not on him 100% of the time. But yes it was definitiely intentional for Pineda to have pine tar on his neck just for the sake that every start he has visibly had it somewhere whether on his hand or arm. Most times managers will let it slide but because the incident was made public in his last start vs. Boston, the issue had to be addressed. Pineda is pretty ballsy to think he could get away with it so visible. It's almost like he is mocking the Red Sox in saying, "Say something, I dare ya..."Was Pineda touching his neck in between pitches? Was there pine tar on the ball too?
If not, Pineda might have touched a bat and then scratched his neck. Unlikely, I know, but it seems too stupid too have something that obvious on your neck.
Yes he will receive a suspension for this incident. For how long I can't say. It may differ depending on the severity of the infraction.Can you be suspended for being a complete *******?
