catcher had his mask on which can hinder vision, plus was looking down from a sharper angle so the ball would have had less of a profile as compared to the pitcher looking from a lower angle (and probably not directly down the line), which makes it easier to spot

Dodgers organization currently bleeding from self-inflicted wounds when they:
1) decided to hold a "Pride Night", 2) invited a group called "The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence" as one of their honorees, 3) got negative feedback from various people including Sen. Marco Rubio, 4) disinvited "The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence", and now 5) have other honorees and sponsors threatening to back out.
When will people learn that if you are going to do something like this, you just do it and stick to your guns? Inviting and then disinviting such a group engenders hostility from all sides of the issue and also makes you look incredibly weak. It's a great sign that they are/were only holding a "Pride Night" as a trendy PR thing.

A senator from Florida was able (responsible) to get a team in California to make a change on what they do at a baseball game?

Seems to me like when a light was shown on this group, the Dodgers decided it would be better to piss off the LGBTQQ++ community than the 4.4 million Catholics in Los Angeles.

The right thing to do, but the Dodgers front office handled this very poorly, as you noted. www.latimes.com/sports/story/2023-05-22/dodgers-apologize-invite-sisters-perpetual-indulgence-pride-night

This is probably the wackiest tournament bracket I've ever seen: I had to pull up the original bracket with its contingencies to make sense of it, and even then, it was still confusing.

Well upon further thought about the A's moving to Vegas seems like they used the most cynical option in the playbook.. deliberately field a team that no one in his or her right mind would want to watch, and then say "see that's why we're moving. Lack of fan support."
Similar scenario with the sonics moving to okc, and then of course Howard Schultz selling the team to an okc group.
