I didn't get to see the game as i was busy with some family stuff and i got home and turned on mlb tonight and they were talking about it and i was perplexed as i have never heard about this before. And i am wondering how the Nats manager knew because peralta used to pitch for the nats and wondering if thats how he knew. But the MLB tonight crew were talking about it and said its a useless rule as it doesn't change anything with ball terjectory and such just helps you grip better just like the ression bags behind the mound. Just kind of surprised/Perplexed by this.

Pine tar has a more adhesive quality, improve grip.
You don't have to wet a ball to make it react. You can also rough up one side and have the other side smooth.
Or use pine tar on the thumb only increasing the downward spin on the ball.
Not saying that was the case, maybe it was not but the ump had no choice.

Davy kind of outed himself though he is alright when peralta does it with him while pitching with the nats but all of a sudden rats him out.All it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing. -Unknown

Well and did you see that Maddon had the Nationals' pitcher's glove checked right away that next half inning? And yes I'm sure if the Nationals pitchers were using pine tar on their gloves that they keep "clean" gloves for that specific time..Mike Hopper

And Again, we don't even know if that was his intent.
Also, why even do it if Johnson was aware that he did use it in the past.
My question would now be to Johnson, why did he use it when with you. Of course Johnson not obligated to give an answer.

The check found "a significant amount of pine tar," according to crew chief Tim Tschida.
Clearly Johnson used his prior knowledge of Peralta in this case, as evidenced by Joe Maddon's reaction. "Insider trading, man. It's bush," Maddon said. "It's bogus. That's way too easy, right there." And here is a quote from Johnson, "If somebody has been known to use a foreign substance on their glove or their hat, a nice hot night is the time to use it, so I asked them to check and obviously he had it," Johnson said. "It was a rumor that he liked a little pine tar."
And obviously this is something that is done regularly in baseball, as evidenced by this from ESPN.com: Maddon didn't deny there was pine tar on Peralta's glove, but he termed it a "common practice."
"Joel is using pine tar and had pine tar in his glove," Maddon said. "I'm saying to suggest he's the only one that's doing it is inappropriate."
However, common or not, it is against the rules and helps give the pitcher a better grip on the ball, which could lead to a tighter spin and bigger breaking ball/more movement.
Peralta broke the rules and got called on it. At least he acknowledged it, accepted it and moved on: As the reliever walked off the field, he tipped his cap to the Nationals dugout.
"Good for them," Peralta said. "They still lose the game."San Francisco Giants, World Series Champions in 2010, 2012, and 2014!!!
