Padres News: Robert Suarez Ejected for Rule Violation, Suspension Imminent
One part of baseball that the sport would love to forget is the use of performance-enhancing drugs or substances. One way baseball has tried to deal with everything is the crack down on the use of sticky stuff for pitchers.
The rule was implemented a couple of years ago and every so often, we still see players getting in trouble for it.
Most of the time, umpires will check the glove of pitchers to check to see if they violate any foreign substance. If a pitcher is found to have anything, it calls for an immediate ejection from the game.
On Wednesday, San Diego Padres reliever Robert Suarez was just about to enter the game when it he was discovered to have some sticky substance. He was immediately ejected from the game and could now face some sort of suspension.
