Grandal fakes out Montero and Maddon’s reaction is classic.

One observation, I think it was the 2nd inning when Crawford strikes out but the ball gets past Montero, Crawford made no effort to run to first base. Rather Montero walks a good 30 feet to tag Crawford out to end the inning, while Grandal is stranded at 3rd. Crawford stood there watched Montero walk up to him with no reaction. A few games back Roberts benched Puig because of lack of hustle on a deep fly ball he hit for a long single. I expect Crawford to be bench also for lack of hustle.
Arodc03 They had a short bench because Puig had a hammy issue
