And he's right that to do this midseason when guys haven't trained/prepared for it is unfair, and doing it this way will lead to more injuries as guys have to adjust how they grip the ball and pitch on the fly.

So, the players assumed they would be allowed to cheat, and now they're saying it's unfair that they need to figure out how to follow the rules? 

I have a hard time summoning up much sympathy.
