MINNEAPOLIS – Jameson Tellon is a shooter who is delighted that Major League Baseball seems willing to reduce, if not eliminate, allowed foreign substances.
The right-hander said the previous Thursday The Yankees lost 7-5 to the Twins in the destination field. “I think it will help talented teams… I know it sounds crazy, but getting rid of the sticky stuff will help us keep going.”
Taillon said he’s confident his teammates aren’t relying on Spider Tack or some of the other materials pitchers have turned to in recent years. Despite allegations from players like Minnesota’s Josh Donaldson, who summoned Gerrit Cole after his sales volume dropped as the impending campaign approached.
When asked if he thought this was like trying to remove steroids and other PEDs from the game, Taillon said: “I don’t know how much performance increases. I’m curious now if everyone is clean, what numbers are going up. . “
Taillon, who will start the tournament in Philadelphia on Saturday, said that while MLB deals with illegal substances, it should at least temporarily ban all substances, including rosin, that he said he does not use.
“If we’re going to do this, remove it completely for now,” Taeyeon said. “If men start getting beat up [by pitches] More than it already is, then value it. “
He agreed with Giancarlo Stanton, who said Wednesday night It was easy to see when stadiums were doing things they weren’t supposed to do..
“If you watch a major league game, you see that the players who use it are not afraid of falling into their trap,” said Taillon. “Some guys are crafty about it and some are not afraid to move on.”
If it was unusual for a bowler to come out in favor of changing the app, Taillon said he wouldn’t have objected if it hadn’t already become a problem. Now that that happened, he said, “it’s getting out of hand.”
Cole put in a good showing Wednesday in his first race since Donaldson filed charges against him.
“I think this could have set him on fire,” Taeyeon said of Cole. “I don’t think something sticky is what turns Gerrit Cole into Gerrit Cole.”
Cole declined to answer when asked if he had used Spider Tack. When Taeyeon was asked if she used it, or if she was tempted to use it, she said she “tampered with” the substance when a friend gave her some while recovering from Tommy John surgery.
“I couldn’t even throw a ball at him,” Taeyeon said. “He gave me the yps. It scared me. And that was enough for me. Some people can figure out how to make these things work. For me, that was not the answer. I think it would be fun to have a fair playing field.
