The Washington Nationals-Seattle Mariners game on Monday night had an infuriating finish thanks to a horrible called third strike by an umpire who should be ashamed of himself.
But earlier in the game there was a pretty funny moment that had everyone—except for probably Nationals fans—laughing out loud.
In case you missed it, Nationals first baseman Dominic Smith had the most comical error of the Major League Baseball season when he fielded a ground ball in the bottom of the fifth inning and flipped the ball back to first base without looking.
The only problem? Nobody was covering the bag and the ball went soaring into foul territory.

Even the announcers couldn’t stop from laughing.
MLB fans loved it:

I miss the old blooper reels they used to show. This is funny! #baseball #bloopers https://t.co/tpUjIiWlRG
I love how he; the 1st baseman, threw back to 1st base, with only the coach and ump nearby. Pretty sure they can’t catch in play balls 🤣😂 https://t.co/4MPiL5X07A
