Mookie Betts tried to throw out a runner at second, and that's when it all went wrong

Everybody has bad days. No matter how great you are or how hard you try, eventually, things just won't go your way for a little bit. Just ask Mookie Betts: The man has managed to be great at seemingly everything, from bowling to Rubik's Cubes to smashing baseballs. And yet, when he attempted to throw out Corey Dickerson at second base during Friday's game against the Rays -- a throw he's no doubt made countless times -- he suddenly transformed from "Mookie Betts: Baseball Wizard" to "Mookie Betts: Man Who Has Never Seen a Baseball":

Did we mention he also singled, walked and scored a run in the game? OK, fine, maybe Mookie Betts is also amazing at not having bad days.
