Rizzo firing the ball back at Contreras was pretty good shtick. 

Cubs catcher Willson Contreras has a pernicious habit of throwing the ball like an Aroldis Chapman fastball when he has to complete a play at first base. It’s terrifying each time, like he’s going to take off Anthony Rizzo’s head. Last night Rizzo got his revenge, sending a message while also having a bit of fun.

#Rays Kiermaier will try something new today to combat cold weather vs #Yankees - covering his whole body with Vaseline to serve as an extra layer against the wind.

I have successfully Canada'd for 34 years and I have never heard of this strategy.

Yes, but you have anti-freeze in your veins.

Joey Votto, who has been trolling the phillies fans for years, said in an interview last year that he had "no problem with any of the Phily fans, except for the Philly fan kids. I can't stand the kids here."

Last night he continued playing the villain. He was casually jogging towards a foul ball then suddenly sprinted to deny a couple jabroni's in Eagles gear a foul ball. He was boo'd relentlessly at every opportunity the rest of the game, and I suspect, will be for the rest of his career.

 Votto in the early lead for Shtick of the year.

Dude pitcher on Oakland has a Rollie Fingers stash and a weird delivery.  I like him already.  Not sure if that's old news but it's new to me.

0 0 0 0 0 0 against Anibal Sanchez is quality shtick

McCutchen's Cleveland impersonation is spot on

I'm generally of the belief that baseball is too uppity and any shtick is good shtick, but the Cardinals Conga Line celebration is pretty awful.

Trevor Bauer wanted to be paid $6,420,969.69 this year. When he won a higher salary in arbitration, he hatched a plan: He would donate the difference to charity in $420.69 increments. The story on @BauerOutage's newest initiative, The 69 Days of Giving: https://yhoo.it/2E2GTNJ

Bauer estimated that 69 percent of MLB pitchers use sticky substances to get a better grip on the ball.

Hi Guys!   

Hi Pal!

Joey Votto gets drilled in the ribs, does a dramatic little fake mound charge, then casually tosses the ball back to pitcher. Votto rules.

Dodgers grabbed each others dongs after a dinger. Not sure about that one.

Little disappointed that no one ever mentioned Jared “the ostrich” Hughes in here. His sprint in from the dugout is some top-notch shtick.

I'm a big fan of the Athletics having teddy bears as fans.  Unfortunately, one of them got hit by a Ketel Marte foul ball Thursday night.

The A's checked him out and he's OK!

Stan Mikita of the Chicago Blackhawks did this. It was known in the 70's. Makes sense for sports to want to be unencumbere by excess clothing although in this day of Under Armour???
