Watch: Schwarber Makes Sliding Play, Throws to Javy for Tag
Francisco Lindor is very good and he’s pretty fast, but he’s no match for what might be the most dynamic defensive duo the game has ever seen. The Indians shortstop yanked a ball into the left field corner and dug for second as Kyle Schwarber made a sliding backhanded stop and popped up to his feet like you’d expect to see from Lindor.
Schwarber then threw a strike to Javy Baez, who applied his tag with quickness that made greased lightning look like totally unlubricated lightning. A DH couldn’t do that.
