The request was taken into consideration and umpires checked Musgrove’s era thoroughly but to Showalter’s bad luck found nothing.

According to Buck Showalter, he had taken this decision because he had prior information for illegal means in the game. An increased rotation Musgrove’s spin was the main reason Buck had to call in for an inspection. And he didn’t care how this decision would make him look in the public eye, because all he wanted was the best for the Mets.
