Musgrove should deliberately wipe his ear before every pitch.

I guess I'm not on the popular side of the argument, but I think it's worth a check. His spin rates were all up, yea it's probably just because he's amped, but it's an elimination game, Musgrove has had a shaky second half, and you have nothing to lose by giving it a shot. I don't blame Buck.

I agree with this plus it messes with his rhythm, maybe. There should be a penalty if nothing is found though.

I was convinced there was something on his ears. How are they that shiny with nothing on them?

Then do it in the first or second inning. Don't wait until mid-game when you're down 4-0 and are just trying to throw a guy off his game

Sure. But if you're wrong, you look like a real jamoke.

The Padres are definitely going to check Diaz now, if he comes in.

I really don't get the point of waiting until the 6th inning to decide it's worth checking unless you're absolutely certain you've caught what he's doing. The damage is done and it's just announcing that he's inside your head.

I think it was Musgrove, they had one game the other day where you could hear the pitcher grunt on every delivery.
Unfortunately you don't even need a field mic to hear Robbie Ray grunt on every pitch. It's the one reason to root against Seattle.

Mets strand the runners, still alive but running out of time.
