I try to not make fun of the Mets too often — Lord knows I try — but sometimes they just make it so damn easy that I can’t help myself. Case in point, check out what Mets spot-starter Pat Misch was doing in the fifth inning of Saturday night’s Phillies shutout. Have a look-see:

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!
Honestly, I’ve been watching baseball for 25+ years and NEVER have I seen a pitcher shove his entire fist in his mouth while he was on the mound. Besides that act being completely illegal (technically, pitchers aren’t even allowed to lick their fingertips, correct?), it’s utterly disgusting and bordering on obscene.
The only logical explanation is that Pat here lathered his tongue in Crisco before coming into the game and needs to doctor the ball to get out of that 1st & 2nd, 1 out jam. OR he was just showing off his lack of a gag reflex to David Wright and Jose Reyes.
I’ll let you decide. Either way, this definitely shouldn’t occur during a baseball game.
UPDATE: That wasn’t the only time Pat shoved his arm down his throat during the game.
ATJ, fisting #2.
