Dodgers announcers insinuate Angels juicing radar gun for Ben Joyce”I don’t know, I might have a bridge in Brooklyn for you.”
“The Angels are claiming that he did,” analyst Rick Monday chimed in. “Now we know, and when I had the conversations with a former general manager and he said, ‘Yes.’… And we were not asking about Ben Joyce or any other player with the Angels or the Dodgers, for that matter, but the conversation came to is that ‘Hey, are there times that if you have a pitcher that you know pitches and tries to chase velocity, did you ever kind of toy with the electronics?’ And the answer was, ‘Yes.’”
That may very well be the case, but if the announcers are accusing the Angels of doing some home cooking, we should note that Joyce struck out Bobby Witt Jr. on a 104 mph pitch just a few weeks back in Kansas City. So, in that case, that would seem to be a level of collusion unforeseen before.
