He wasnt using the paper trick, he was talking about it. He doesnt need no stinking paper.. he can tell just by looking at it.

I dont know that I could adequately explain this but maybe someone else can - because he says it wasnt during OKC.

He says with the clarity - if you not these lines that run the length of the barrel (under the "skin") - that is a rolled bat.

More of the same including an ejection and an ejection by his partner.

I'm kinda venting about him because he is one of the nit pickers who lack common sense and think making the game miserable for everyone is his purpose in life.

lol - sorry 5 two hour big games at over 100 - 107 degree heat had toasted me.

When you look at the Clarity barrel (the part that changes color) there are distinct lines that form under the "clear coat skin". These lines run the length of this "color changing" portion of the bat.

There is probably no way to explain it.

I think he is referring to the Clarity's change in hue when a particular spot on the bat begins to "break down".

As the bat becomes broken in by use, the hue of the barrel will begin to show light-shaded blotches. This is NOT an indication the bat has been altered or is no longer legal.
