The problem is that everyone inside the game knew that pitchers were using sticky stuff for a long time. What happened is that the sticky stuff science got a little too good. That's when Manfred decided something had to be done.
Also worth noting that they changed the baseballs again this year, which seems to have also increased the spin rates. Attaboy, Rob!
I wouldn't be surprised if what we end up with is some sort of pre-approved lower-tech sticky stuff. In the meantime, it's a fustercluck.
