Baseball fans react to agent Scott Boras calling out MLB in light of Max Scherzer ejection: "For once, I agree with Boras"

New York Mets starting pitcher Max Scherzer is represented by Scott Boras. After the Mets staff ace was ejected from his Wednesday start against the Los Angeles Dodgers, the super agent wasn't going to take it lying down.Boras spoke to reporters after the game. He called out MLB for what he sees as a haphazard approach to enforcing and punishing pitchers deemed as &quot;caught&quot; using illegal sticky substances.Ken Rosenthal@Ken_RosenthalScherzer’s agent, Scott Boras: “MLB standards and rules enforcement should mandate and require a objective verifiable standard. If you want to attack the integrity of the competition you need clear precise standards else you damage the game and it players…” (cont.)38354Scherzer’s agent, Scott Boras: “MLB standards and rules enforcement should mandate and require a objective verifiable standard. If you want to attack the integrity of the competition you need clear precise standards else you damage the game and it players…” (cont.)Boras pointed out that crew chief Phil Cuzzi has been working during all three games in which pitchers have been ejected from games. Other hurlers have been let off with a warning, or simply told to go wash their hands.Ken Rosenthal@Ken_RosenthalMore Boras: “The Cuzzi on field spectrometer is not the answer. MLB needs to employ available scientific methods (not subjective ) to create verifiable certainly of it rules.”16620More Boras: “The Cuzzi on field spectrometer is not the answer. MLB needs to employ available scientific methods (not subjective ) to create verifiable certainly of it rules.”Boras, while a hero to most players, is Public Enemy No. 1 to many fans around the league. His comments put many fans in the peculiar position of agreeing with a man that makes their skin crawl.SUBER IMPEMBO@ImpemboGanecueFor once, I agree with Boras.

An inning earlier, Cuzzi examined Scherzer's hand and glove, and the Mets pitcher was instructed to change his glove before returning for the fourth inning.Upon stepping out onto the field for the bottom of the fourth, Scherzer was inspected again by Cuzzi and plate umpire Dan Bellino. In several video clips of the incident, the Mets' top pitcher appeared to be saying &quot;It's just rosin&quot; to both game officials. After a period of debate, as manager Buck Showalter joined the fray, a highly animated Scherzer was given the hook by Cuzzi.In Boras' take, he questions the validity of on-field inspections. Many fans tend to agree.🔥 𝕛𝕦𝕝𝕚𝕖 🔥@juliefalboScott Boras absolutely right. twitter.com/ken_rosenthal/…Ken Rosenthal@Ken_RosenthalScherzer’s agent, Scott Boras: “MLB standards and rules enforcement should mandate and require a objective verifiable standard.

They did, meanwhile, question Boras' motives for getting involved in the debate.Jakub Lieght@McLeichtWhy would anyone care what an agent has to say? twitter.com/ken_rosenthal/…Ken Rosenthal@Ken_RosenthalScherzer’s agent, Scott Boras: “MLB standards and rules enforcement should mandate and require a objective verifiable standard.
