that Domingo German experienced last Tuesday against the Blue Jays, when he was tossed and subsequently suspended 10 games for a failed foreign-substance check.
But the Yankees also know they need to hold each other accountable, within their own dugout, before it even gets to the level of an umpire. Blake said there have been times where he will check his pitchers’ hands in the dugout in between innings. A March 16 memo from MLB said that rosin could be deemed as a “prohibited foreign substance … when used excessively or otherwise misapplied .”
“That’s the hard part — there’s really no line in the sand, it’s just kind of subjective, like, ‘I think this is tacky,’ ” Blake said. “When German gets thrown out, I get it, they said, ‘That’s the stickiest hand’ they’ve ever felt. Well, what’s the second-stickiest or the third-stickiest? It’s like, where does the line start coming down?
