“I’ve got nothing to hide,” Wainwright said Monday. “What Bubba said is
true. I tried it in 2019. Honestly, it didn’t work for me. You can check the
order. I only had one order with that guy and I gave it away very soon
afterwards. It’s something that you have to apply and go to every pitch. You
’ll never see me go to my arms or my glove and touch that—I don’t like
doing any of that stuff. I tried it. Didn’t like it. I got rid of it. And
haven’t pitched with it in years... If that gets me in trouble because I did
it years ago, then so be it. But I pitched without it however many years that
is until 2019 and I pitched without it however many years since 2019. You can
check my glove, you can check my hat, you can watch me like a hawk all game
long. You’ll never see me with any of that stuff.
“I’ve got nothing to hide. I feel good about that. The truth shall set me
free. We’ll see. Maybe it will, maybe it won’t. But I have nothing more to
add, because there is nothing more to add.”
Wainwright estimated he used Harkins’ mixture for six or seven games in
2019, but explained that he quickly gave it up for several reasons—not only
did Wainwright find it difficult to apply and maintain, but he also didn’t
like the way it impacted his release for certain pitches.
針對最近鬧得沸沸揚揚的抹油事件
紅雀老將Wainwright表示他雖然生涯大部分時間都沒抹油
但他確實在2019年嘗試了Bubba Harkins的配方 向他買了一單
不過在試用了6,7場比賽後覺得不好用就沒再使用
根據Harkins在法院的指控 除了Wainwright以外
他的客戶還包括Cole, Verlander, Scherzer, Kluber等名將
不過目前為止似乎只有Wainwright勇於站出來認錯
