The Phillies/Diamondbacks game had a pitcher ejection due to foreign substance
Remember when Phillies manager Joe Girardi thought then-Nationals pitcher Max Scherzer was using sticky stuff, had him checked by the umpires, then charged the Nationals dugout and got ejected? Good times.
Scherzer didn’t end up having anything on his cap or elsewhere on his person, but it made for entertaining, dramatic baseball, especially when he basically started stripping on the field.
