Batter tries to convince umpire he was hit with hilarious play-acting.
It is not very often you see players in Baseball fake an injury in order to get a decision go their way. The nature of this non-contact sport has no need for it, until Julio Borbon tried his very best lst night to draw a walk to first base.
Borbon tried to fool the umpire into thinking he was caught on the leg with a wild pitch, even though the GIF above clearly shows the ball no where near him, and even bouncing before it got to the plate.
Borbon will now be known throughout the league as a desperate cheat, and piles even more misery on an already terrible Cubs season.
