Cuzzi and plate umpire Dan Bellino, the crew chief, checked Scherzer again as he came out for the fourth inning, and they were joined by Showalter. After a heated discussion, an animated Scherzer, who said he washed his hands with alcohol, was tossed from the game.Scherzer told reporters after the game that he had washed his hands and changed gloves, knowing he would be checked again by umpires prior to pitching the fourth inning.
"... I don't get how I get ejected when I'm in front of MLB officials doing exactly -- exactly -- what you want. And being deemed my hands too sticky when I'm using legal substances, I do not understand that." "As far as stickiness, this was the stickiest it had been since I've been inspecting hands, which goes back three seasons," Bellino said."Compared to the first inning, it was so sticky that when we touched his hand, our fingers were sticking to his hand. Whatever was on there remained on our fingers afterwards for a couple innings. It was far more than we've ever seen before on a pitcher during live action.
