I just noticed that Andy Pages has a new "best catch of the year" according to catch probability, and it's a great example of how watching the advanced stats can tell you things you won't get from watching on TV. This was the last play of the game last Wednesday. Bogaerts hit the ball 102.3 MPH at a 15° launch angle, and Pages covered 45 feet in 2.9 seconds and did it so efficiently he didn't even have to leave his feet. Statcast has it at just a 5% catch probability.

Any rules experts want to weigh in on this interesting play in Baltimore a bit ago? Daulton Varsho stole second, throw went into center, Varsho turned to go to third and collided with SS Jorge Mateo. Umpire clearly signaled obstruction, but Varsho didn't see the call and scampered back to second. Varsho wasn't awarded third base. Orioles broadcast said him going back to second nullified the obstruction, but I don't see anything in the rules allowing for that. Blue Jays broadcast, of course, thought Varsho should have been awarded third base. Unless I'm missing something, I agree with them.

Someone pointed out earlier that Max Muncy has played left field for both the A's and Dodgers in his big-league career, most recently in 2018. So here's a supercut of all nine times Max Muncy has touched a baseball as a major-league left-fielder. No commentary other than that the entirety of his experience takes just three minutes to watch.

Look, most of the time, being friends with DΛVΣ isn't really worth it. But every once in a while you text him a dumb idea and then he texts you back your completed vision in video form.
