Even professional athletes have their moments of amateurism, and a recent game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants provided a prime example.

During an extra-innings showdown, with the Giants leading 7-5 in the top of the 11th, a seemingly routine pop-up by Mookie Betts turned into a comedy of errors. Giants third baseman Casey Schmitt misjudged the ball, dropping it for an error. Then, pitcher Jakob Junis inexplicably threw the ball over the first baseman's head, even though Betts was already safely at first. This gaffe allowed the automatic runner on second, Michael Busch, to advance to third.

Seizing the opportunity, Busch attempted to score, but quickly retreated when he saw the Giants' right fielder retrieve the ball. However, Betts, seemingly unaware of Busch's retreat, continued to third, leading to a chaotic rundown. Ultimately, Busch was tagged out, and Betts was stranded at third. Instead of a potential game-tying run, the Dodgers had two outs and a runner on third, eventually leading to their demise as Freddie Freeman struck out to end the game.

This bizarre sequence of events highlighted that even at the highest level of competition, mistakes happen. The Dodgers' baserunning blunder cost them dearly, proving that even seasoned professionals can sometimes look like recreational players.
