The Major League Baseball playoffs are serious business where a lot is on the line with every pitch and every at-bat.
But it’s still just a game and it should be fun and it’s ok to have fun while playing these very intense games.
Dodgers first baseman Cody Bellinger had some fun last night when he tried to pull off a trick play and failed. That led to him and Atlanta’s Ozzie Albies sharing a laugh at first base.
Here’s what happened: Dodgers pitcher Julio Urías threw a high pick-off attempt to first that Bellinger had to jump to catch. He then tried to act like the ball got away from him to see if Albies would try to go to second and then the Dodgers could get him out.
Albies, and his first base coach, didn’t bite on it, though:
