Post-hit reactions don't get better than Yasiel Puig's tongue-wag after an NLDS Game 1 triple

Yasiel Puig had an eventful Friday night. First, the Dodgers right fielder licked his bat, made a funny face upon realizing that doesn't taste very good, and promptly hit an RBI double in the team's four-run first inning in their 9-5 win over the D-backs in NLDS Game 1 presented by T-Mobile.
Six innings later, Puig -- no stranger to enthusiasm in just about every facet of the game -- smacked a hit down the left-field line and started running. Hard. He rounded the bases, wound up at third and let out one of the most ridiculous and amusing celebrations you'll probably ever see:

"I see my teammates so excited on the bench," Puig said, laughing. "I don't know. I don't know why I feel maybe [there was] ice cream in front of me or something like that."

Not much else to say, besides #PuigYourFunnyFaceMan.
Watch the Dodgers take on the D-backs in Game 2 of the NLDS presented by T-Mobile Saturday at 9 p.m. ET./ 6 p.m. PT on TBS.
