From BillPlaschke: There was indeed more than a good chunk of schadenfreude roiling around Chavez Ravine on Wednesday afternoon when Mets ace Max Scherzer was thrown out of the game for allegedly possessing a foreign substance on his right pitching hand.
It was a scoreless tie when he was tossed, and the Mets regrouped for athat rarely takes a smart hack. But Scherzer was the overriding story for many Dodgers fans who booed Scherzer’s entrance into the game and gasped in disbelief when he was ejected.
Two innings later, as Scherzer approached the mound to pitch the fourth, he was stopped before he reached the third-base line by Cuzzi and checked again. Soon, Cuzzi was seen shaking his head while Scherzer began pleading and gesturing with his bare hands. When Scherzer was officially tossed, he threw up his hands in visible frustration and eventually stalked back to the dugout.
Dan Bellino, the crew chief, said Scherzer was ejected because his hand basically felt like Super Glue. It was the first such ejection in nearly two years, and it was particularly poignant that it happened to Scherzer for more than one reason.
