Did Yankees pitcher Michael Pineda use pine tar to aid his dominating performance against the Red Sox in Thursday’s game?
It’s clear from the pictures taken from the YES Network broadcast that Pineda has what appears to be pine tar smeared all over his hand. Of course, just from the photos we can’t make any absolute conclusions, but the familiar hue gives a lot away. Also, the fact that once the images went viral the substance ‘mysteriously’ was wiped clean from his hand.
Hey, they don’t call Yankees vs Red Sox a rivalry for nothing, everyone wants an edge. Look at the picture below and be your own judge
