SCHWARBAEZ! Kyle and Javy Go Back-to-Back in Impressive Fashion (VIDEOS)
Two of the Cubs most mired in a slump just went back-to-back in spectacular fashion, and, if I’m being candid, I really enjoyed it.
After Ian Happ drew yet another walk, Kyle Schwarber gave the Cubs a 2-1 lead in the second inning with a freaking laser beam:
What's more impressive: Schwarber's missile getting out in roughly .5 seconds or this fan's barehanded snag? #Cubs pic.twitter.com/5EvDNLuNiQ

That’s 106.8 mph and an LOL-low 19-degree launch angle. That’s a Stanton homer right there. And that fan’s hand is gonna be really sore tomorrow (nice catch, though).
Then, Javy Baez immediately followed Schwarber with a 399-foot upper deck shot of his own:

Kyle Schwarber was really excited by Javy’s shot:
