Giants pitcher makes a miracle catch while arguing with an umpire
This is equal to a golden snitch catch in Quidditch. Game's over.

This week has been phenomenal for awesome catches made on accident.
After an arguably botched call on a check swing by Diamondbacks Jake Lamb, Giants catcher Buster Posey tossed the ball back to pitcher Jake Peavy, as usual. Though Peavy was a bit preoccupied, arguing with the third base umpire that the call should've been a strike. Which would've been a problem, if Posey didn't have backboard-utilizing, laser-like accuracy.
With that kind of throw, Posey might be better off ditching the knee pads and taking the mound over Peavy. He apparently found the whole thing really funny.
