My Honest Reality
March 19, 2023
Welcome to the 2023 baseball season.
Opening Day is around the corner. Pitchers are almost ready. Position players are locked in. Fans share the optimism a new season brings.
But this isn't just another season.
This is likely my last.
Why doesn’t baseball give one mandatory check before the pitcher takes the mound in his first inning, monitor the spin rate throughout the game, if they see a jump in spin rate any inning then stop the game to check for substances?
Foreign substance has always been against the rules. Enforced or not, don’t make a habit out of something against the rules and you wouldn’t have anything to complain about mid season.
