After a routine pop fly was dropped by shortstop Mauricio Dubón, Mahle could be heard saying "Are you f—— kidding me?"

Story summary

In Game 4 of the NLDS between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday night, a routine pop fly hit by Max Muncy turned into a disastrous play for the Braves when shortstop Mauricio Dubón dropped it. This error allowed Shohei Ohtani to score the tying run, turning what initially seemed like good fortune for the Braves — Michael Harris scoring in the first inning due to a wild pitch — into a missed opportunity. With Atlanta facing elimination and already trailing 1-0 after the wild pitch, Dubón’s mistake effectively tied the game at 1-1, frustrating pitcher Tyler Mahle and sending fans into disbelief.
