Nick Castellanos flashed a funny gesture toward the Philadelphia Phillies’ dugout after he hit a double during Game 1 of his team’s NL wild-card playoff series against the Miami Marlins.

Castellanos was batting with a runner on first, nobody out and his Phillies leading the Marlins 1-0 in the bottom of the fourth inning. The Phillies right fielder hit a bloop double down the right field line. After hustling to second base and diving in safely, Castellanos sprung up and flashed a finger to his teammates in the dugout.

It looked as if Castellanos were flipping off his teammates. But it turns out that Castellanos was flashing his ring finger.

That’s pretty creative from Castellanos. The guy is hustling hard this postseason because he wants a World Series ring.

The Phillies reached the World Series and lost to the Houston Astros in six games last season. Castellanos wants to take it a step further this year. With a 4-1 Game 1 win, the Phillies are off to a good start.
