Jose Ramirez went full Bill Buckner in Game 2 of the ALCS.

The Cleveland Guardians star Ramirez made a very costly error against the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday. During the fourth inning at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla., the Rays had runners at the corners with two outs in a scoreless ballgame.

Tampa Bay second baseman Ben Williamson proceeded to hit a seemingly routine grounder to Ramirez at third base. But the ball ate Ramirez up, glancing underneath his glove and ultimately going between his legs into the outfield to allow the lead runner to score.

Here is the video of the play.

The two-out error gave the Rays a 1-0 lead, and they went on to score two more times in the inning to open up a 3-0 advantage over the Guardians. As a result, Ramirez heard it from social media over the ugly miscue.

The seven-time All-Star Ramirez, 34, is usually known as a sure thing at third base. But sometimes, the unexpected can happen in the postseason.

Ramirez is also a big-time troll and trash-talker, even when it comes to his own teammates. During Tuesday’s ALCS game though, Ramirez ended up being the one who got trolled.
