If it seems like Brett Lawrie has been involved in the lion’s share of animated gif’s around these parts latey, it’s because he has.

This one is a few days late, but it’s of Brett Lawrie bolting from the dugout and running towards J.P. Arencibia after Saturday afternoon’s walk-off win versus the Baltimore Orioles.

Judging by how quickly Lawrie was running towards Arencibia, I was a little frightened for his life. It must be been a little scary for J.P. watching a 215 pound jacked-up teammate barreling down on him. After all, there doesn’t seem to be a “mellow setting” on the Brett Lawrie dial.

Luckily, J.P. was not speared to the ground by the Canadian equivalent of Goldberg, and he even avoided being jerseyed by Brett Cecil.
