Cardinals Minor League pitcher is accusing Jon Lester of cheating last night.

In the link there's a picture and a gif that shows Lester has "something" in his glove and he can be seen putting his fingers on it before grabbing the ball. Pretty interesting

Im guessing Tyler Melling is a whiny bitch. Just a hunch. Maybe he can catch infield pop ups or make plays at short?

The Cardinals' minor league instructors taught him well.

I could understand calling him a whiner if he was accusing Lester without a reason to do so. But there is visual proof that something is in the glove and he goes to it.

Should of called him out DURING the game if he didn't want to be a whiner. Lestah had nothing to do with The Cards shit defense.

No dog in the hunt here....but WOW, lol...it really does look like there's something in the glove and he was using it
Problem is, with so many camera's these days hard to believe ANY pitcher is really going to do that.

I'm truly laughing because it does look bad, but think it's highly likely he's innocent. That would be pretty ballsy with a million cameras looking at you...

The game lasted 3hrs and 17min. The tweet was put out at 11:17pm. I'm assuming that's EST, but could be wrong. He may have recorded it and noticed in the 4th inning (just giving an example). Lester was out of the game way before the tweet was made. Could be a bunch of different scenario's as to why he didn't alert anyone.

When I worked for AB, I had my boss' boss' cell number. Minor League guy coulda made a call, to somebody. Rather than play ameteur journalist. Not a fan of after the fact complaining. Especially when it comes from Americas SweetHeart franchise, The Cardinals. (Somebody could have told McCarver, he had a hand in lowering the mound, according to Jack Buck's kid anyway.)

Not sure what it is. But don't you think the home plate umpire would have noticed something was up?

Probably just rosin - same stuff Buchholz had on his arm. Everyone uses it for a better grip.

If the story gains steam, Lester will probably just show everyone the glove...

but, I doubt it goes that far.

Amateur journalist? He provided visual poof that there was something in the glove. Do we really need an accomplished Baseball journalist to have broke the story of "visual" evidence?

Whether he alerted someone or not while Lester was in the game is a moot point cause we don't know if he was watching "live" or when he noticed.

The main point is there was something in the glove. Not sure why you're disregarding visual evidence.
