Tip - Hypocrisy to baseball’s pine tar rules - The Boston Globe

In the wink-wink world of baseball, it’s OK for pitchers to use pine tar when it’s a bit cold or windy, most likely usually in April or September/October, which is when pitchers usually feel like the sensation that the ball is slipping out of their hand. So instead of, this, “It’s OK to use it if it’s discreet but not if it’s blatantly visible,” as opposed to it’s not OK to use it if it’s blatantly visible, why isn’t the rule amended don’t we amend it once and for all? Maybe meet some somewhere in the middle?
