Bleacher Report - MLB: Marlins Relief Pitcher Gets a Little Too Excited in His Celebration and Eats It

Bleacher Report - MLB Bleacher Report - The open source sports network  Marlins Relief Pitcher Gets a Little Too Excited in His Celebration and Eats It Jul 31st 2013, 02:36, by Tristan Thornburgh

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Chad Qualls' showing on Tuesday exemplified the Marlins season perfectly: Even when things go well, they still seem to fail spectacularly.

Qualls allowed a triple at the beginning of the eighth inning against the Mets with the score tied 2-2. After he struck out the side to keep the score even, Qualls' fist went before his feet, and he did a full face plant. He tried to play it off as if he were attempting a fist-pump-somersault, but it's clear he didn't quite keep his footing.

Another angle of the tumble.

The most embarrassing part of this, however, is that this isn't the first time Qualls has done this. Here he is falling on a pickoff attempt while playing for the Phillies.

Some athletes just aren't as sure on their feet as others, apparently.

Hat tip to Larry Brown Sports for the GIFs.
