MLB fans had lots of jokes about this silly showdown at second base between Red Sox and Rays

The Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox are two of the best teams in Major League Baseball and currently battling it out for the top spot in the American League East in a big series this weekend in Tampa.

While things have been intense between the two teams it’s still just baseball and still just a game in which grown adults can have some fun along the way.

That happened during Saturday’s game – which the Rays won to take over first place – when Boston’s Xander Bogaerts and Tampa’s Brandon Lowe had this very intense showdown at second base.

I’m kidding, it was very far from intense:

LOL. What a slap. So intense!
