The D-backs broadcast was left in stunned disbelief after closer Paul Sewald blew his third straight save

That "UGH!" was hilarious.

It truly takes a special type of pitcher to be a closer. You have to be comfortable sitting for an entire game and then being able to lock in for high-leverage situations. And even the best closers will experience struggles. It’s never easy.

Diamondbacks closer Paul Sewald is going through one of those tough stretches right now, and it got even worse on Monday night with one of the most defeated announcing moments we’ll hear this season.

Coming off two straight blown saves, Sewald entered the game in the ninth to face the bottom half of the Braves’ lineup. He got two quick outs. But an Eddie Rosario single kept the Braves’ hopes alive. On a 1-1 count, Sewald tried to force Sean Murphy into a roll-over grounder with an outside corner fastball. Instead, he left it up, and Murphy barreled it.

D-backs announcers Steve Berthiaume and Bob Brenly were stunned.

“And it’s happened again,” Berthiaume said before a solid 15 seconds of silence.

The game-tying home run was Sewald’s third straight blown save, and the Braves went on to win, 5-4, in 11 innings.

D-backs fans certainly related to Berthiaume’s reaction after that one.

This was how Twitter/X reacted
