This has actually happened a few times already this season with Brett Anderson having to be checked out by the trainer after falling on what I’m calling the funniest play of the season. Fortunately, Anderson is fine and he’ll surely make fun of himself after the game.
In the bottom of the second inning, the Chicago Cubs had a 9-1 lead over the Pittsburgh Pirates, who were threatening with runners on at first and second. Trevor Williams had a swinging bunt and Anthony Rizzo charged the ball and made an aggressive play, throwing the ball to third base. Anderson wasn’t expecting Rizzo to try and get the force out there and when he realized the ball was coming his way, the pitcher fell awkwardly to the ground.
And thus, this hilarious GIF was born.
