Jason Kipnis and Michael Martinez's 4-6-3 double play involved just one glove and one bare hand
In shortstop Francisco Lindor, the Indians are spoiled. Not only did he enter play Wednesday hitting a robust .311/.357/.449 on the season, he's posted a 2.2 dWAR and regularly does mind-bending things with his glove and/or his arm.
But the rest of the Indians infield would like to remind folks that he isn't the only one doing ridiculous things. In fact, their latest defensive wizardry, pulled off in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the A's, took place with Lindor having been given most of the day off. Michael Martinez was in at short and Jason Kipnis manned his usual second base, setting the stage for some A+ teamwork.
It was that duo, then, that turned in this Harlem Globetrotters-esque 4-6-3 double play off the bat of A's catcher
That Cleveland infield sure knows what it's doing out there, no matter who's in the game. That's a definite plus.
