David Ortiz on Thursday flaunted the sense of humor Red Sox fans have grown to love over the years.

The former slugger, in a video shared by FOX Sports: MLB, pranked Frank Thomas by pouring Tito’s vodka in Thomas’s water bottle. Thomas initially put on a brave poker face, then he did a double-take, puckered his lips, grimaced, and unleashed some playful profanity.

Here’s the clip from the pregame show before the Tampa Bay Rays and Houston Astros squared off in Game 5 of the ALDS.

“I knew something was wrong with that water, man,” the Hall of Famer Thomas said. “You always doing something. Man.”

Ortiz simply grinned, leaned back in his chair, and said: “Get the party started early!”
