Houston Astros pitcher Ronel Blanco was issued a 10-game suspension on Wednesday after the discovery of a 'sticky substance' on his glove. Blanco, 30, was ejected from Monday night's game against the Oakland Athletics over violation of rules regarding foreign substances, according to a press release from the Michael Hill, Major League Baseball’s senior vice president of on-field operations. The pitcher was also issued an undisclosed fine.
The tree sap is allowed to be used for sweat because it helps to combat slipperiness during the game. 'I think it was a combination of the rosin and the sweat and it’s the umpire’s call,' Brown said. 'He made the judgment that he thought it was a sticky substance, so we’re at the mercy of what his judgment is.
