Mets flamethrower Noah Syndergaard is one of the best pitchers in Major League Baseball, so what fans witnessed during a recent game has really been put under the microscope.
Syndergaard took the mound against the Phillies on Monday night, and while he had a pour outing, it did appear that he was trying to do whatever he could to gain an advantage agains the Phillies sluggers.
He was shown at one point with a foreign substance between his index and middle fingers, that sure looked to resemble pine tar.
Hey @Noahsyndergaard, what ya putting on those two fingers? Something to prevent giving up 5 earned? https://t.co/T6XRTk4ig4

It didn’t really help him anyway, as he was shelled, giving up nine hits and five earned runs in the game.
