saying let s outlaw foreign substances or let s more strict on the law or the rule, i should say. but if you look at his numbers last sunday, he s getting accused of using sticky stuff because the spin rate on his fastball dropped by more than 200 rotations per minute. you re using sticky stuff. is so it doesn t really make sense, but when you think about it, my theory is trevor bauer doesn t want to use tiki stuff, but he feels like he has to in order to maintain the same level as these other pitchers who are. then you have pete alonzo e who s in the batter s box, and he s saying i don t want to step in front of a 99 mile-per-hour fastball when the pitcher doesn t have a good grip on the ball. we, unfortunately, saw what happened recently with kevin pilar, he got hit in the face by a 95 mile-per-hour fastball. there really two sides, a pitcher s perspective, a batter s perspective and a fan s perspective. obviously, if they don t use
coming up, a new poll shows the perception of the world has rebounded since the trump years. plus, more on the reporting that the trump justice department spied on house democrats. yes, another branch of government, while that other branch of government was doing oversight investigations. morning joe coming right back. s morning joe coming right back. shingles? camera man: yeah, 1 out of 3 people get shingles in their lifetime. well that leaves 2 out of 3 people who don t. i don t know anybody who s had it. your uncle had shingles. you mean that nasty red rash? and donna next door had it for weeks. yeah, but there s nothing you can do about it. camera man: actually, shingles can be prevented. shingles can be whaaaat? camera man: prevented. you can get vaccinated. baby, call the doctor. camera man: hey! you can also get it from your pharmacist! 50 years or older? get vaccinated for shingles now.
the present under his christmas tree. he has to laugh and mock his friend next door who didn t get the same sort of big wheel set and whatever. it s hateful, purely hateful, willie. it is. and you hate to see people like jonathan punching down. wra of course, the scrappy team in the al east haven t won a world series since 2009. so we re just happy to be in that wonderful division with teams like tampa bay and boston, you know, our guys pack their lunches, lunch pails, hard hats, hop on the d train, go up to the bronx every day and hope to be in the game. we re honored to play with you guys and i think it s instructive about jonathan lemire and his character that he would punch down at these beloved little new york yankees. lunch pails, jonathan lemire. willie, i ll ask about the spin rate next. yeah, exactly. what about the spin rate?
atter baseball. could be sweet, saliva, pine tar. the league is saying no dice. we re not going to do this. last week there was an owner s meeting and the league would crack down more than they have in the past what is interesting is there s two schools of thought on this. there s a guy like trevor bauer, an elite pitcher and a target of a lot of accusations. you look at the spin rate has dropped more than 200 rotations per minute. people are like you must have been using something. he neither confirmed or denied. if we re going to implement the rule, i want it across the board. that s fair. i think he doesn t want to use foreign substances but he has to because a lot of other pitchers are. sandra: that s the problem. pete alonzo, he s responding to
i m too chatty. i m sorry. sandra: i ll give you my take. that is the rules are the rules. as long as the rules are there, everyone should have to follow them. if you don t like the rules, go through the proper channels of changing the ruse. our team reached out to the mlb. the league has not responded to us. we reached out to the player s association and their stance is no comment at this time. change the rules if they need to be. they need to be down the line. dealing with little league right now. teach them young. sorry, john. you go and i ll tell you my take. john: i was going to say what abby brought up with pillar getting hit with the fastball square in the nose. that was horrible. the added spin rate on the ball affects how it comes off of the bat. if you get 200 extra rotations when it hits the bat, chances are you ll get a pop or it s going to go in the ground depending on the spin. gives a pitcher an advantage. sandra: it s a science. exactly.
