Center fielder Jake Marisnick turned the most laid-back unassisted DP you've ever seen

Marisnick turns very relaxed unassisted DP

You may have heard the phrase "it takes all kinds" at some point in your life and assumed it meant "it takes all kinds of people to make a world." But we're here to inform you that it actually refers to double plays, and specifically those made by the Astros during Thursday night's game against the Angels.

If you prefer your double plays to be a bit breezy, even relaxed, then you'll probably enjoy Jake Marisnick's unassisted DP from the fourth inning. Wait, you might be saying, unassisted? And isn't Marisnick an outfielder? This all seems like the opposite of relaxed.

Let us clear it up for you. Albert Pujols was on first base when the Angels' Matt Joyce popped out to Marisnick. It was the second out of the inning, but Pujols let that fact slip his mind. He had been rounding second base, but after Joyce's out, he started walking to the dugout instead. So what did Marisnick do?

allright

That's the most laid-back unassisted double play we've ever seen.

However, if you prefer your double plays to be more Liam Neeson than Matthew McConaughey on the scale of chill, don't worry -- Jose Altuve is here for you:
