I’m not sure I’ve ever loved the Cubs Productions folks more than I love them right now. They endeavored to answer the age old question – one thought to be as unanswerable as the tree falling in the woods or the mountain that God could not move.
Could Javy Baez slap a tag down so quickly that he could tag out … Javy Baez?

Well, if that play decides it, then we know the answer: even the great Javy Baez could not tag quickly or accurately enough to defend against a sliding Javy Baez. Because that dude was safe.
