Watch: Jimmy Fallon leaves Blue Jays' Biagini hanging
Joe Biagini needs Twitter so I can ask if this is him. It is, right?!@BlueJayHunter @BringerOfRain20 @JoeyBats19 @MStrooo6 #FallonTonight pic.twitter.com/h21c0sq62G

Jimmy Fallon is widely regarded as the nicest guy on late-night television, but the cloying "Tonight Show" host doesn't have much love for former Rule 5 draft picks, apparently.
That much became clear during the closing credits of Tuesday's show, when the amiable 42-year-old denied a high-five to Toronto Blue Jays reliever Joe Biagini, savagely bypassing the eccentric right-hander who fashioned a 3.06 ERA with a 3.26 strikeout-to-walk ratio as a rookie in 2016.
The slight was so obscene that people on Twitter weren't even sure it was Biagini who was left hanging, but teammate Josh Donaldson later confirmed it was, in fact, Biagini whom Fallon turned to dust:
@alsirard @JoeyBats19 @MStrooo6 that's him for sure
