Alcides Escobar made a smooth play on a grounder and got some props from Omar Vizquel

Alcides Escobar, a Gold Glove Award winner, makes great plays all the time. There's this one and that one and, of course, this how-is-this-even-humanly-possible madness.
So, it's no surprise that during Monday's Royals-Tigers game, Escobar season returned once again to the KC infield with a smooth Ole´  on a Nicholas Castellanos grounder. Only this time, Tigers first-base coach and shortstop wizard of the first order was watching: Mr. Omar Vizquel.

We're not positive what was said in the exchange, but we're thinking the fellow Venezuelan All-Star said, "Good, but I would've done it barehanded."
