Gary Cohen didn’t mince words when giving his thoughts about Buck Showalter opting to check Joe Musgrove’s ears for a banned substance.
Cohen, who was not calling the game with it being on ESPN, did not agree one bit with Showalter asking for Musgrove to be checked in that situation.
“Let me phrase this the right way,” Cohen, the Mets television voice, said on the SNY postgame show. “Buck Showalter is completely in his rights to ask the umpires to check a pitcher for foreign substances. It’s up to umpires then to decide whether it’s an appropriate thing to do.“I thought that considering the circumstances, 4-0, sixth inning, season on the line, it smacked of desperation and it was fairly embarrassing I thought for Buck to do that in that spot. It was not necessary.
Whether Showalter truly believed Musgrove was cheating or if it was some gamesmanship to get him out of sync, the move didn’t work and the Mets are headed into the offseason.
