I disagree. Pineda should have been aware of a massive target on his back after what happened a couple of starts ago. Being discreet is an important part of it. You essentially put the manager in a no win situation when you become a jack ass and bring it that far in the open. Farrell couldn't let it take place again without saying anything.
He had to do what he had to do. Girardi knows this and won't be an idiot about it. Pineda has just ensured EVERY single movement he makes from now until the end of time will be watched like a hawk. If the pine tar was giving him a massive advantage, he's just lost that aid for quite awhile.
