Jamie Nye: Baseball pitchers are justifiably miffed with random searches

Well, we know how baseball pitchers are going to handle getting searched for sticky stuff all the time.

Max Scherzer of the Washington Nationals was checked multiple times on Tuesday night, partly because Philadelphia Phillies manager Joe Girardi was being a chump and actually asked for Scherzer to get checked a third time.

Scherzer dropped his glove and hat, and then undid his belt to the point I thought the pants were coming off.

Sergio Romo of the Oakland Athletics did drop his pants in frustration as the umpires were going to check them.

This is what happens when you change the rules mid-season. More and more pitchers are going to lose it when it comes to the random searches like they’re drug dealers hiding cocaine in their drawers.

And this is only two days into the rule change that allows umpires to check players and opposing managers to play head games with the opposing pitchers by requesting searches.

That final one is a joke. The umpires should determine when to search pitchers, not opposing managers.

So far so good again for commissioner Rob Manfred, who continues to try really hard to ensure his status as the worst commissioner in sports.
