Mike Fiers had a good game pitching for the Houston Astros last night, as he threw a no-hitter against the Los Angeles Dodgers for a 3-0 win.
You can watch the MLB video here, but it doesn’t have our favorite camera angle of the night. That’s when Fiers’ glove was caught by the cameras with an interesting substance. No, that’s not cocaine–although that would make for a great story. It looks suspiciously like the sticky and officially not-allowed substance called pine tar…
But we don’t really think this is a big deal. Pine tar is actually a good thing. Yes, it allows the pitcher more control over the ball, but it wasn’t so long ago that Fiers hit Giancarlo Stanton in the face with a 90-mph fastball. We bet that Giancarlo would’ve been cool with Mike having some pine tar on his glove that night…
