Dirty Hands
Jake Peavy gets caught by the camera with something on his hands. It looks similar to what Kenny Rogers was usings in 2006.
Update: Bud Black says Peavy's hands were just dirty.
"When you play baseball, your hands get dirty," Black said Sunday. "He had dirty hands. Trying to keep his palms and fingers dry, you apply rosin and dirt. Rosin is a sticky substance, and as often as he goes to the rosin bag, as often as he goes to the dirt to sop up moisture, your hands get dirty.
"I don't think there is anything to it. Modern cameras can pick up a dirty hand."
Update: Peavy denies cheating as well:
Interestingly, Peavy's next start will be Friday at Dodger Stadium, and Torre did say, "We'll be the home team on Friday, so the balls that get thrown out of the game will come over to our dugout."
Peavy said the Dodgers "are more than welcome" to look at any balls he throws, adding, "I hope that they're worried about my hand more than they're worried about (my pitches). I honestly hope that's a cause of concern. Anytime Joe wants to have anybody check me, I welcome that."
