Luis Valbuena did the Dikembe Mutombo finger wag at Francisco Lindor after a pickoff

On Wednesday afternoon at Tempe Diablo Stadium, the Angels fell to the Indians, 15-3, but they had a 1-0 lead entering the top of the third inning. Cam Bedrosian was on in relief of Andrew Heaney and ran into a bit of trouble when he hit Francisco Lindor with a pitch.
Bedrosian had to be wary, as Lindor has stolen 46 bases across the last three seasons and was eyeing second. Bradley Zimmer worked the count to 3-2 before Bedrosian managed to catch a leaning Lindor -- much to the pleasure of first baseman Luis Valbuena:

Yes, you saw that right. Valbuena channeled his inner Dikembe Mutombo while good-naturedly waving Lindor back to the visitor's dugout.
Good form on the finger wag, but it's hard to beat the best.
