The accusations about the Houston Astros pitching staff juicing balls may have legs after all.
Astros pitcher Lance McCullers took the mound in Thursday’s game against the Yankees, and a photo of his cleats from the fifth inning of the game went viral.
The reason is because a foreign substance was shown on McCullers’ right cleat, which you can see below.

McCullers clearly has some sort of substance on his cleat. It's obvious and should be checked. #astros #StopIt

McCullers offered an explanation after the game, stating that it was a hard plastic to cover a hole in his shoe.
Y’all ass. Let me wear my cleats in peace. pic.twitter.com/X43TqqgA5d

If the hole really was an issue, why didn’t he just get a new pair of cleats?
