There was an interesting play in the Oakland A’s game against the Chicago White Sox on Thursday.
In the 3rd inning, the A’s led 2-1, and they had a runner on third base (Matt Olson) with one out. At the plate was Matt Chapman, who worked a 2-2 count and then lofted a fly ball into the left field corner. There was plenty of time for outfielder Billy Hamilton to get there and make the routine catch, but it was also deep enough that there was no chance at throwing out Olson at the plate.
