"The Curt Schilling Baseball Show" from Outkick features expert analysis and opinions from the three-time World Series champion.
Former MLB starter Curt Schilling could not believe New York Mets starter Max Scherzer was tossed from his outing on Wednesday afternoon against the Los Angeles Dodgers for what umpires believed was him cheating with a foreign substance.
And Schilling doesn’t want to see Scherzer banned a single game. Scherzer said, "I swear on my kids’ lives," that the stickiness that umpire Phil Cuzzi felt on his hand in between innings was the mixture of sweat and rosin from the rosin bag that MLB allows behind the mound each game for pitchers.
Scherzer was told to fix the problem that Cuzzi had with the stickiness by washing off his hand with alcohol, which was done in front of an MLB official.
