From The Brewers Bar’s “A short history of Tony La Russa’s complaints”:
He’s A Complicated Man
↵
↵↵2009: La Russa and Duncan accuse the Reds of not properly rubbing down the baseballs before the game, because they were “slippery.”
↵2009: La Russa and Chris Carpenter accuse the Rockies’ grounds crew of building the pitching mound at a different slope than the bullpen mound.
↵2010: Carpenter and the Cards again complain about slick baseballs in Cincinnati.
↵↵And, of course, you can add “unfair lighting,” “sign-stealing,” and “quick-pitching,” to the list, all from last weekend’s series in Milwaukee.
