it is most likely just for your viewing pleasure.

If it is in the PbP then it shouldn't be "superficial". I sure hope that when the PbP says "a lesser fielder wouldn't have made that play" that it isn't superficial. Likewise, when it says someone had to make a diving play then I should be able to infer that a lesser fielder may not have made that play or even that this fielder may only make the play a certain percentage of the time and he happened to get "lucky" this time.
