During a game between San Francisco and Colorado, a routine fly ball to centerfield turned into a bizarre sequence. The outfielder looked confident at first, tracking the ball smoothly and preparing for an easy catch. Then things unraveled. As the ball dropped, it either popped out of his glove or he missed it completely. Either way, it turned into an awkward play. The baserunner, initially heading toward second, made the most of the mistake and didn’t stop until he reached third. It looked like it would be scored as a triple, but it was probably an error.
The confusion was clear on the field and in the stands. The centerfielder appeared just as lost as everyone else, even consulting the scouting report afterward as if something from the notes could explain what just happened. Fans were baffled, unsure if weather or miscommunication played a role because there was no obvious cause. Kevin Pillar, likely the runner who capitalized, looked pretty satisfied as he stood on third. On the other hand, the Rockies’ defense tried to shake it off and move on.
