Watch: Probably the Funniest Catch in San Francisco Giants History

The Giants have not been having a good season. Of their last home games, they’ve lost 15 out of 17. They’ve come under fire from their own commentators. (Mike Krukow recently described the team as “unraveling” and “ugly.” Alex Pavlovic called the team’s performance “atrocious, horrible” and “unacceptable.”) Last week, third baseman Matt Chapman expressed remorse about the Giants’ poor play.

“Obviously, we haven’t been able to get much going,” he said after losing to the Tampa Bay Rays, “and I feel bad for our fans because they come out here and they support us every single night. They pay their own money to come see us, and we haven’t been playing good baseball for them.”

Well, faithful Giants fans were finally rewarded for their patience on Sunday with a 7-1 win against the Rays and — honestly, even better — probably the weirdest catch in Giants history.

At the top of the fourth inning, center fielder Jung Hoo Lee bolted into Triples Alley in pursuit of the ball, briefly bobbled it, slid onto the ground, then miraculously trapped the ball between his knees before it could hit the ground. Best of all, Lee managed to stand up, ball still in place,  retrieved it from his nether regions and nonchalantly held it aloft for the umpire to see. Lee then proceeded to wander away, entirely straight-faced, as if he hadn’t just done something amazing/hilarious/entirely improbable.

Stunned commentator Duane Kuiper immediately responded appropriately. “I don’t care what anybody says, that’s the catch of the decade,” he said. “Not of the year, not of the day, not of the week, not of the homestand — the decade.”

The Rays’ Yandy Díaz, whose ball Lee was chasing, later noted, “I think he’s the only player who’s ever done that. It was a very weird play.”

Never stop believin’, Giants fans.
