Pineda tried it once and got away with it. This time John Farrell didn't let Pineda get the better of him. After using what appeared to be oine tar in a game against the Boston Red Sox a couple weeks ago, Michael Pineda and both teams (New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox) got a lot of flack for the way they handled the situation. Last night Pineda tried to get away with it again, and I think he would've if Farrell hadn't missed it a couple weeks ago. However, Farrell was forced to get the ump to check Pineda and he found some pine tar globbed onto the Yankees pitcher's neck. He was ejected from the game immediately and has now been suspended for 10 games, which equals one start for him. It was a poor decision by Pineda, and he should've known he would be under the microscope. He shouldn't have been ejected and by extension suspended. At most he should've gotten a warning and if he was found with it later in the game then get ejected. It didn't really affect the outcome of the game, though. Either way, it was wrong and it definitely brings up the argument on whether or not pitchers should be able to use pine tar.
