Phil Cuzzi could win the Oscar for his role as a clown in Hollywood on Wednesday.

The umpire, who is known for this … made it about him in his bizarre decision to eject Max Scherzer in the fourth inning of the Mets-Dodgers series finale.

Scherzer said after the game that it was rosin and sweat, both of which are legal, that caused the stickiness Cuzzi may have felt.

He was forced to switch gloves the inning prior when Cuzzi felt some stickiness.

Nonetheless, the Mets prevailed with a 5-3 victory Wednesday to take two of three games from the Dodgers.

I broke down the series win and Cuzzi’s bafoonery on a new episode of the “Amazin’ But True” podcast.

We aired our interview with Kodai Senga’s interpreter Hiro Fujiwara on the second half of the pod.
