Blue Jays post-game analysts call out MLB's lax attitude after Yankees pitcher ejected for foreign substance usage yet again
Analysts have condemned the MLB for their seemingly lax attitude towards cheating after the recent controversy involving the New York Yankees during their series against the Toronto Blue Jays.
The Yankees registered their second win of the series by a 6-3 scoreline on Tuesday, but the game was overshadowed by the ejection of pitcher Domingo German due to the use of foreign substances.
Just a couple of weeks back against the Minnesota Twins, German escaped ejection despite the umpires finding a sticky substance on the palm of his pitching hand.
The Blue Jays' postgame analysis crew felt that the MLB is sending the wrong message by not cracking down on such incidents.
"So the message is, cheat until you get caught. That's the message that's being sent."
Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen blasts walk-off homer to sink the Yankees
While the New York Yankees managed to win the first two games of the series, the Toronto Blue Jays bounced back with a 3-0 win on Wednesday. Catcher Danny Jansen was the star late in the game, hitting a thunderous three-run walk-off homer to seal the tie.
It was his second walk-off hit of the week after doing so against the Atlanta Braves on Sunday. The Blue Jays will now look to win the final game in order to tie the series.
