Mets say they are victims
of Astro ace’s ‘right scuff’
NEW YORK (AP) — National
League President Chub Feeney
agreed Monday to examine the base
balls himself and decide whether
Houston Astros pitcher Mike Scott
has been illegally scuffing them in
the NL playoffs.
The Mets said they saved 15 balls
“Because we’re ticked and
we’re not going to take
this lying down. I don’t
care if he scuffs 400 balls.
I don’t care if they’re
scuffed before the game. I
don’t think any pitcher
can beat us three times in
a row. ”
— Mets second baseman
Wally Backman.
from Sunday night’s 3-1 loss, which
evened the best-of-seven series at
two victories apiece, and all of them
had been scuffed.
Scott, who relies on a split-fin
gered fastball that breaks down, has
denied defacing the ball, and the
home-plate umpire in each of his
playoff starts has supported him.
Scotfis next start in the playoffs
will depend on the weather. Game 5
was rained out Monday and Astros
Manager Hal Lanier said Scott’s next
start would depend on when play re
sumes.
Scott suggested that the balls
might have Been scuffed after the
game.
“They checked them all during
the game and found nothing. Don't
forget those balls were in the club
house, not in the game, and I don’t
know what they did to them,” he
said. “I don't care what they do. I
could bring in a ton of baseballs to
morrow and do what I want to them
and hand them to Chub Feeney.”
Mets second baseman Wally Back-
man said there was no doubt Scott
was doctoring the balls Sunday.
“Every foul ball that came back to
us was scuffed up,” Backman said.
“We brought 15 of them into the
clubhouse. Some of them were
scuffed twice.”
Scott said all the balls the Mets re
trieved had been in the dirt or had
been fouled back to the screen.
“There was nothing wrong with
them when I threw them,” he said.
“This went on last year, too,” Scott
said. “It’s just that we’re in the play
offs now and more people are talk
ing about it. If it botnet s them, then
it works to my advantage.”
Mets Manager Dave Johnson has
a theory on how, he claims, Scott
doctors the ball.
“Whenever he gets a new ball he
takes his glove off and walks toward
the outfield and he’s rubbing the ball
up,” Johnson said. “It (sandpaper) is
in his palm. He doesn’t rotate
ball. He just makes a grindingE
tion.”
Sunday’s home-plate umpitt
Dutch Rennert, said, “I never mi
scuffed ball and the Mets nut
asked me to examine the I
was scuffed, maybe it was [re
where they hit it.”
Scott is the first pitcher in ea
" I his went on last ja
too. It’s just that were it
the playoffs now ani
more people are ,
about it. If it b
them, then it works to m
advantage. ”
— Astros pitch;
Mike Scon
league to throw two complete-git
victories in one playoff, and his
consecutive scoreless innings is
other playoff record.
Scuffing or not, the MetssaW
were confident of beating tin
they see him again in the series
"Because we’re ticked andw
not going to take this lying doth
Backman said. "I don't careiit
sculls 400 balls. I don’t art
they’re sculled before thega®
don t think any pitcher can beat
three times in a row.”
AL teams hope to end ineptitude
BOSTON (AP) — Whenever Cali
fornia Manager Gene Mauch listens,
he hears the words. Wherever the
Boston Red Sox look, they see them.
Choke. Curse. Collapse.
Ugly sounding. But labels that
whichever one loses the American
League playoffs this week will have
to live with for another winter. Is ei
ther one meant to win?
No Mauch-led team has reached
the World Series in his 25 years of
major league managing, the longest
such streak ever. His 1964 Philadel
phia Phillies blew it in the final week.
His 1982 Angels fell apart in the
playoffs.
California was within one strike of
making the trip this October when it
squandered a three-run lead in the
ninth inning Sunday and eventually
lost a chance to win the team’s first
pennant.
Mauch and the Angels, still lead
ing the best-of-seven series 3-2, get
another try to break the jinx tonight
in Carrie Six at Fenway Park. Kirk
McCaskill, the Came Two loser, will
be opposed by Boston’s Dennis “Oil
Can” Boyd, the Game Three loser.
California rookie first baseman
Wally Joyner, who hit .455 in the
first three games but missed the next
two when hospitalized by a bacterial
infection in his lower right leg, made
the trip to Boston and is expected to
pJay.
Boston again will be trying to
