Boston Red Sox Pitchers Accused of Cheating, Using Pine Tar (VIDEOS)

A team in Boston possibly cheating in order to win a game is absolutely unheard of in this day and age. (Obvious sarcasm as obvious)

Game 2 of the ALCS between the Houston Astros & Boston Red Sox was a back and forth heavyweight match by two 100-win teams that saw the Sox come out on top 7-4, but it did not end without controversy.

If you look closely enough during Game 2, you’ll notice that pitcher Matt Barnes keep taking his right hand and rubbing some sort of substance on off of his left wrist to help him grip the ball better.

Another instance of a Red Sox pitcher going to the left forearm potentially for grip. This is Kelly vs. Yankees and the other video is Barnes vs. Astros. This is not a coincidence. https://t.co/hHH7UHVxIi — Lance Zierlein (@LanceZierlein) October 15, 2018
