The Book of Joe Podcast begins with hosts Tom Verducci and Joe Maddon discussing the Max Scherzer controversy with his agent, Scott Boras. Scott doesn't think MLB is as concerned with rosin as one umpire is being. Is there a subjective standard for standards that pitchers are being penalized for? Joe takes us back to his dealings with umpires and the enforcement of pitching substances. Scott says how he thinks these situations could be handled differently and better for baseball. We explore the flaws in the system for appealing a decision like this, plus the lack of distinction between a legal or illegal substance. This episode is a must listen!
