The Phillies were eating grasshoppers in the dugout during game in Seattle – NBC Sports Philadelphia

Sometimes baseball is boring so you've got to spice it up with some insect eating.

That's what happened during Wednesday's Phillies game up in Seattle as they took on the Mariners in a getaway matinee.

CSNPhilly broadcaster Gregg Murphy did one of his man-in-the-stands segments but this time he sampled one of the new novelty concessions at Safeco Field this season: toasted grasshoppers.

And Murph wasn't the only one to sample the chili lime salted snack. The grasshoppers ended up being passed around the Phillies dugout in the middle of the game. Pitcher Ben Lively gave it a shot. It didn't look like many other players were interested in tasting the little buggers.

Of course John Kruk and the television crew talked about it for the rest of the game.

"They were a big hit," Murphy said. "For sure."

"Did everyone like them?" Tom McCarthy asked?

"No."

"I did not think they were very good," T-Mac agreed.

Grasshoppers.
