Snoop Dogg had the honor of throwing the ceremonial first pitch at the San Diego Padres-Atlanta Braves game Tuesday night and it was far from a home run.

The pitch flew nowhere near the catcher as the cameraman and fellow bystanders dodged the ball. Snoop expressed lots of excitement before the game — unfortunately, his throwing abilities didn’t quite match his enthusiasm, [according to TODAY](http://www.today.com/popculture/snoop-dogg-rivals-50-cent-his-terrible-first-pitch-padres-t97311).

Snoop’s pitch had a lot in common with fellow rapper [50 Cent’s throw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-yuxF-C4%5F8), which MLB commentators dubbed “not great.” Snoop, who played a set as “DJ Snoopadelic” after the game, took the disastrous throw in good stride and laughed it off.
