Ohtani Ties it! & Andy Pages Walks it off (Full At Bat) in the 11th against Braves Dodgers 2024 

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. Why not? If he misses it, so what. It’s a run either way. I think he realized that once the ball dropped.

Absolutely should have laid out for it. However, miss or catch the game was lost. Even if he catches it on a dive though smith likely would have tagged and scored.

No really. Smith was 1/3 down the line when the ball landed.

As a dodger fan I kinda feel like that was a Mickey Mouse walk off since the dude kinda hesitated to catch it

Didn’t really matter if he dove and caught it the runner at third would have still went scored the winning run regardless. Wouldn’t have been enough time after the catch to get up and make a throw.

It was loud, pretty full park last night

It's electrifying at Dodgers Stadium this year.

@@IAmBiguous427 awe man!!! I want something like this, for my first experience

Hope you guys continue to keep going, go for the one that can’t go 🥲 like me!

@@sarahlee3056always is for night games!!!

I think he forgot the situation. That was a mental error. Doesn’t show up in the box score, but mental error noted, and I think he knew it.

ngl during the swing i was mad that he expanded the zone with risp again but watching it back that was a nasty change. how the hell did he make good contact there?!

same with andy.. how can he hit that inside ball after lunging over the plate to foul of pitches over a foot outside. the consistent young talent is so impressive for this org

Yep, great piece of hitting. A defensive swing with 2 strikes but has enough strength to get it through the infield. Very old school at bat.

Well, a team still has to do something with an extra chance. Freddy dropped a foul popup for an error, giving that Brave another chance. It didn’t lead to a run. Pages still had to actually put the ball in play. He did. The Dodgers won.

If you can see the entire barrel from that tv angle, it's a swing lol. Got away with one

@@waynekerr67 True, HP ump and FB both missed it.

I think it could have been called either way, but as a pitcher I wanted it lol

With how close it was, either call would have been right honestly

😂😂 as it should be.

Nothings good about anything to do with Gaylifornia way to brag about your crappy city..

Well put my brother, and I agree!!!! GO Doyers

This could be the most stressful at bat for the pitcher. Why didn’t he bunt though, isn’t a bunt guarantees that win too.

@@Ohtani9999 no because it's to risky to bunt. With 1 out runners on the corners a hard hit sac fly is the approach

I don’t know allllll about that but I do like him at the bottom of the order. Giving balance.

Only ONE out, TIED score, BOTTOM of the last inning, and runner on THIRD. NO chance.

@@cyrusvirus6928he could’ve slid and made the catch, Will Smith was not waiting to tag, meaning if caught he would’ve had to go back to 3rd base to tag up.

The tv camera compresses the depth of field from that angle. The CF was not close enough to make a diving catch. He played the odds that the runner was tagging up as they would about 99% of the time and then he could throw him out (easily) from that shallow. The runner, though, made his own smart play recognizing he could not tag from the shallow if the ball was caught. So he went 3rd of the way and stopped to see what transpired. If it was caught, he was close enough to return to 3rd and hope the next batter could get a 2 out hit. Once he recognized it wasn’t going to get caught, he ran home leaving the fielder no chance to throw him out. You can see that Smith started home before the ball hit the grass…which means he, without a compressed tv view, recognized the CF could not get to the ball in the air. The bigger mistake that was made is the Braves, with only one out and the winning run on third didn’t pull their outfield in a bit more shallow. They were too deep for the situation and were protecting against balls hit deep. That is worthless as the runner will tag and score. Play up specifically to protect against bloops and line drives. You will normally still have a chance to make a play at the plate on those type hits. By playing modestly deep, they lost the ability to protect against the bloop.

@@ericescalante1612 dive, catch and slide. get up and throw. Yeah. No chance.

@@ajalvarez3111 Compressed depth or not it's where the ball landed 4:11 which took the CF exactly one step to reach it which means he was very close, had he not eased up might have reached it. Just seemed like a lack luster effort with the game on the line.

Well the Braves ain’t exactly the worse team isn’t it?

That's what I was thinking. Looked like he didn't even need to dive... just stretch out your arm

5:32 seems he didnt understood its a extra bottom inning.

It doesn’t matter lol, in OT you just need to score and you win. Even if he caught it out, Dodgers will score one and jsut win

after dive for the ball, will unable to have enough time to get up and pass back to home to tag out the runner. ( dive may have chance cause injury, not worth it )

You and 23 upvoters are living in clown world. The camera compresses the the picture from the head on angle. The CF was not nearly as close to the ball as you think it was. You guys also missed two really heads up baseball plays right in front of your face made by the CF and the runner on 3rd on that play. Doubt you’ll ever figure it out. Baseball doesn’t need better players. Baseball needs more educated fans.

One out, runner on third. It wouldn’t have mattered.

@@cyrusvirus6928it would’ve mattered Will Smith was not waiting to tag meaning he would’ve had to go back and tag up if it was caught

🤔🫣🤓🥳

Should’ve would’ve could’ve it’s the umpires call 😊

People been saying that for decades. It about as much a part of baseball as beer and hot dogs.

What an ignorant comment. The check swing is, by far, the hardest call in baseball to make. To make matters worse for the umps, THERE IS NO DEFINITIVE DESCRIPTION IN THE RULES OF WHAT ENTAILS A CHECK SWING STRIKE. It’s really left up to the judgement of each umpire if they saw a swinging strike. There is no “his bat crossed the plate” or “he broke his wrists” or any of that crap. Read the rule yourself. It’s so hard to make the right call, especially for the home plate ump, that umpires REGULARLY turn to each other for help on the call. That rarely happens for any other call. In this instance, the home plate ump conferred with the 1st base ump at the catcher’s request because he wasn’t sure (if the batter was left handed the home plate ump would check with the 3B ump). At that point the responsibility for the call shifts to the 1B ump. He is the sole judge in the world if the swing went far enough to be called a strike. NY cannot overrule on replay because THERE IS NO OBJECTIVE description in the rules. There is no measurement to use. It is what the ump says it is. End of story. Go cry elsewhere.

What???!!😀

1 for 3, 2 walks 2 sb, and tying run batted in is not choking. dodgers have 5 guys hitting over 300 atm

Rareidiot

It's baseball.Acuna,olsen and Riley all struggling.Thats the gàme.

Ohtani tied the game. What the heck are you talking about.

Casuals always commenting sh*t based on one or two games …
