“This is next level team chemistry,” a second joked.
A third added: “This is the most diabolical victory cheer I’ve ever seen OMG?” Meanwhile, a fourth said: “LMAO he so wanted to convince me he saw otherwise.”
“This is a great example of next level teamwork,” said a fifth.
“Bro, I couldn’t believe my eyes on last night’s stream, this is the next level,” a sixth user chimed in.
Another user responded with a photo of hernandez he appears to grab his teammate’s crotch while running, suggesting that these are his usual antics.
However, the Dodgers maintained and increased their lead to win 2-0 in front of their home fans.
Los Angeles will host the first game of the National League Championship Series against the New York Mets on Sunday night.
