One of the best things about baseball is how weird it is.

There really isn't much more to say to tee up this ... well, strange play during Tuesday's Giants-Cardinals game:

This was ruled a "soft ground ball" and a single off the bat of Paul DeJong in the bottom of the first, but it's clearly a bit more than that. 

As a matter of fact, the ball was so deep into foul territory, nobody on the field appeared to go after it -- and that's fair, theoretically speaking.

Even the Cards dugout was pumped on the strange play:

Whatever helps, we suppose. But while it was bad luck for the Giants, pitcher Dereck Rodriguez got out of the jam with no harm done.
