Joe Davis was not quite ready for the moment in Wednesday’s Game 3.
The Los Angeles Dodgers hosted the Milwaukee Brewers for the third installment of their NLCS showdown. But Brewers star outfielder Jackson Chourio gave a rude (and very quick) awakening to the crowd at UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, Calif.
On the very first pitch of the game, Chourio pounced all over the Dodgers. He shot a 98-mph fastball from Dodgers starter Blake Snell into the seats in right field.
Davis, calling the game for FOX, was still giving his intro to viewers at the time. But Chourio’s home run stopped him in his tracks, and Davis even stumbled over his words at one point calling the quick-hit dinger.
Here is the video.

Davis, who is the Dodgers’ regular season play-by-play broadcaster, has drawn criticism throughout this postseason for his seemingly biased calls. Chourio did not make Davis look any better in Wednesday’s Game 3 either with that emphatic first-pitch ambush.
