is not allowed? Just saw it in the LSU/UNC game. LSU pitcher licked his fingers before attempting to throw it before the umpire stopped it. I’m not trying to be ignorant here, but what’s wrong with that? It’s not like an ointment or pine tar or some other banned substance. I’ve just never seen it until now.

I was going to say Hagenow usually goes it and it’s before he’s set.

Hagen Smith did it every time. I don’t know the rule on it though.

Oklahoma probably knows a thing or two about licking balls.

Only other time it’s allowed is if it’s agreed upon before the game due to cold weather
