@Mets Musgrove has got a vaseline substance all over his ear. He's been going to it early in the start of the inning. Check his ears. #cheating pic.twitter.com/Hodxndbpnb

Former NL MVP Andrew McCutchen says he believes Musgrove had “Red Hot” in his ears in an effort to “stay locked in.”
“Here we go. I guarantee Musgrove has Red Hot on his ears,” McCutchen. “Pitchers use it as mechanism to stay locked in during games. It burns like crazy and IDK why some guys thinks it helps them but in no way is it ‘sticky.’ Buck is smart tho. Could be trying to just throw him off.”
