Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy had a funny moment during LA’s intrasquad game on Thursday, sneaking a base hit up the middle for a base hit against new teammate Noah Syndergaard. As Muncy ran to first, he raised his arms in triumph and exclaimed, “Yes! No shift!” (You can faintly hear him in the video below.)
