Joe Davis regularly scrutinizes his own calls. One he wishes he could do over: Shohei Ohtani's 40th home run of the season, a game-winning grand slam against Tampa Bay on Aug. 23.
Dodgers play-by-play broadcaster Joe Davis is, by his own admission, his own toughest critic. He'll regularly re-listen to his own calls with scrutiny. Some he likes. Others he doesn't.
Here was Davis' call: "Fly ball, right center field. Siri's going back, he's at the track, he's at the wall — 40-40, walk-off grand slam! No way! What a moment! History!" "But I went back and listened to it probably 15, 20 times, trying to figure out how I could've done it a little better. I like to get a notepad out and write down ... what I said and, I don't know if workshop is the word, but nitpick it. And find where I could've gotten rid of words, how I could've timed certain things better. I would like to be able to do that one again.
