On Sunday, the A’s turned one of the more incredible and stupid double plays that’s been turned in the highlight era. In case you haven’t seen it, watch the play because no amount of description will do it justice.
On the call, Glenn Kuiper called it the greatest double play you’ll ever see. I don’t know about that. It’s impressive, improbable, and extremely fun. But great? Ramón Laureano had to make an amazing play to record one out, but the second out was only made possible with a sequence of screw-ups. I don’t think I’ve watched a play that made me re-evaluate the limits of human ability despite being bad baseball.
