On Tuesday night, Houston Astros' pitcher Ronel Blanco was ejected for a 'sticky stuff' violation. Given the Astros history with cheating, baseball fans were not too broken up about it.
Though the game was won in the 10th, the real action happened in the top of the fourth inning when Astros' starter Ronel Blanco was ejected for a "sticky stuff violation."
"First base umpire Erich Bacchus: It was the stickiest stuff I've felt on a glove since we've been doing this for a few years now."Because of the ejection and violation, Blanco now faces a 10-game suspension, which would be a big loss for an already-decimated Astros' pitching staff. Though it's a big loss for the Astros, baseball fans were not too broken up about seeing the Astros get a little karma.
MLB will probably give Ronel Blanco a bigger punishment for this than they gave the Astros for cheating the Dodgers out of a World Series....
