Disappointed in 10-game suspension, Houston Astros pitcher Ronel Blanco tells why he didn't appeal https://t.co/KIXwJdkn02
Blanco, through interpreter, on suspension: "It's very disappointing, obviously. It's something that's thrown to us [inaudible] and we'll just have to deal with it."
Blanco said he knew the rule, but "I just didn't know I couldn't put (the rosin) on the non-throwing arm." He said he usually goes through three jerseys per game because he sweats so much, thus he needs rosin.
Blanco said he didn't appeal suspension because it would prolong the time it would take for him to return. "I wanted to get back and help the team as soon as possible," he said.
