Sometimes it's just easier to get the force out.
Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman showed off some unexpected dexterity and slick dance moves Saturday when he cunningly avoided a tag at home plate by Houston Astros catcher Brian McCann off a weak chopper by Trea Turner. With his eye on the goal, Zimmermann then bounced off the dirt, avoided a second (awful) tag attempt by McCann, and still managed to touch the plate to boost the Nationals' lead to 2-0 in the fourth.
To make matters worse for Houston, the Nationals would go on to score another two in the frame.
