Even though the Tampa Bay Rays couldn’t put away the Baltimore Orioles in the series finale Thursday night, there was one glimmering highlight: the fourth inning, diving catch by Steven Souza Jr.
Call it laziness, or perhaps I had a ton on my plate last night. Whatever the case, neither I nor the crack staff at X-Rays Spex covered last night’s ballgame. Still, the catch heard ’round the world deserved some treatment. That being said, enjoy the catch that Matt Moore called the best catch he ever saw while he was on the mound.
I didn’t think anybody is going to catch that ball, and that was everything he had there, Moore said. There was no more he could have reached out for.
