Pitchers are human, after all: Shelby Miller trips coming off the mound to field grounder

99.9 percent of the time, Major League players live up to the standards they've set as athletic demigods whose entire lives are devoted to reaching the absolute peak of human perfection. Each action is silky and smooth, as if planned out hours before.

But sometimes, just sometimes, do they reveal that they're also fallible humans like the rest of us, who can't even complete a simple walk to the coffee shop without tripping on the sidewalk and spilling our hot beverage as soon as it's handed to us. 

In the sixth inning on a rainy Thursday night, Shelby Miller's feet slipped out from under him as he tried to make the play on Wilmer Flores' ground ball. 

But when his feet came out from under him, Miller hit the ground -- the best part being that moment where he just lays on the ground. Kind of like I do when I've tripped and fallen into the tray of food I was carrying. 

It's OK, Shelby. We only laugh because we can commiserate. Which must be what A.J. Pierzynski said after he came out to the mound, right? Right?
