Wrong Hands
Kendrick and Aybar just completed a nice force out at second, but with a twist. Ellsbury grounded one up the middle. Kendrick ranged behind the bag to glove the ball, then used the glove to flip it to second. Aybar grabbed the ball with his bare hand to try for the double play. I've seen the glove flip before, and I've seen the bare hand grab before, but not on the same play.
The glove flip was completely unnecessary since the play wasn't close at either end. They show those on the hilites when it means nothing but they never show the DP's that don't get turned.
