In FED the ball is dead and it's a "don't do that with or without runners on base. If the pitcher should deliver the ball, it's still dead so whatever happens is negated. The ball is dead the moment the pitcher puts his unwiped finger on the ball.
In OBR, as you saw in the MLB game, it is a ball (with or without runners on base) if the pitcher puts his fingers to his mouth any time he is on the dirt. (youth ball umpires, are you paying attention here????????)
