Yoenis Cespedes really thought he was going to catch this fly ball (he did not)

Twins rookie Max Kepler hit a fly ball to left field to lead off the fourth inning of the Mets' 3-0 win over the Twins at Citi Field on Friday night, and Yoenis Cespedes really thought he was going to catch it. He moved into position, stuck his glove out and waited for the ball to drop right in.
The entire ballpark probably thought he was going to catch it, too.

We had every right to assume he was going to catch it. That's a catch he -- and really, most outfielders -- makes 99 times out of 100 under normal circumstances. This is a reigning Gold Glove Award winner we're talking about. He can do things like this.
Clearly, these were not normal circumstances -- either the ball or Cespedes' glove must've dematerialized at the exact instant of contact, allowing the ball to fall to the ground. Yes, that explains it. And there's nothing you can do about that.
It didn't matter much in the end, either, as Kepler was almost immediately picked off at first. We'll call this one a "putout delayed by a disruption in the physical composition of matter." Pretty sure that's in the rulebook.
