HOLY CRAP NICO HOERNER! That Play Was Incredible

Tonight’s Cubs-Athletics game has been crawling at a snail’s pace with hardly any real action or suspense; just grinding-inning after grinding-inning for each team (with a side of solo or 2-run homers). But Nico Hoerner just delivered the GOODS with this incredible double play.

Check it out, as he leaps, grabs a screaming liner and turns it into two🍨:
