Baseball's version of the Mark Sanchez Butt Fumble

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

The Astros are a team bad enough,so bad that they decided to do their version of the Butt Fumble ...without the fumble

Mark Sanchez has some severe competition for most embarrassing play by an professional athlete.

Pretty funny.

But I have to say, even though the runner was called out, it was actually a fairly smart attempt — in stark contrast to the Butt Fumble. The way Phillips is holding his glove between his legs like that is kind of odd, and Villar raising his upper body like that was a good attempt at avoiding the tag — and to my eyes it almost worked. But, if you run into the other player's butt face first, well, that tends to be what people notice.

Anyway - -here's a story and more gifs.
