Chicago Cubs stars Seiya Suzuki and Franmil Reyes celebrated against the Cardinals with a move straight out of Major League 2.

The Cubs aren’t the biggest losers in the NL Central this year, but they’re still giving lovable losers vibes as the team heads into a rebuild.

So it was fitting on Tuesday when right fielder Seiya Suzuki and designated hitter Franmil Reyes came together in the dugout with a celebration taken from the ultimate lovable losers movie: Major League 2.

Suzuki and Reyes did the “Big Balls Dance” from the dance as the Cubs took a lead over the Cardinals.

In the movie, Isuro “Kamikaze” Tanaka makes fun of Pedro Cerrano for having no “marbles,” prompting an entire bit around marbles and the superstitious outfielder. In the ALCS against the White Sox, bags of marbles shaken by his teammates help inspire Cerrano to hit a go-ahead home run, after which he shows Tanaka that he does indeed, have sizable marbles in the end.

Chicago enjoyed the opening game of their Tuesday doubleheader thanks to two third-inning runs. Nico Hoerner drove in Christopher Morel to open the scoring before Suzuki singled to score Zach McKinstry.

That was all they needed to get the victory over their rivals.

These aren’t the best of times for the Cubs but they’re not short on players to root for like Suzuki, whose arrival has not disappointed this season. He’s batting .247/.320/.418 in his debut season in the major leagues after starring in Japan.

Reyes is also in his first season in Chicago after being designated for assignment by Cleveland, of all teams. Since arriving he’s batted .313/.320/.583, becoming the first player with more than two doubles, triples and home runs in his first nine games with the Cubs since Rogers Hornsby in 1929, per Christopher Kamka of NBA Sports Chicago.
