Broadcast cameras for Wednesday\u2019s Giants<\/a>-Padres game in San Diego caught San Francisco third baseman Matt Chapman ripping into his teammate after a costly error brought in a run for the second time.<\/p>\n

In the bottom of the fifth, Chapman scooped up a chopper<\/a>\u00a0that Xander Bogaerts hit his way and then threw what should have been the third out of the inning to first base. However, the ball sailed over the outstretched arms of temporary first baseman Casey Schmitt, which allowed Gavin Sheets to score and double the Padres\u2019 lead, 2-0, and moved two runners into scoring position.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapman was dinged for the error, but the Giants\u2019 broadcast showed two replays that revealed Schmitt, who doesn\u2019t normally play first base, reached out for the ball when he should have reached up.<\/p>\n

As the local Bay Area broadcast showed those clips, the San Diego broadcast showed something different. The Giants gathered for a mound visit, and Chapman, who is widely viewed as an unofficial captain<\/a> of this Giants team, was none too pleased with his teammate. Keen-eyed viewers noted that it sure looked like the Giants star looked at Schmitt and shouted, \u201cCatch the f\u2014king ball. Catch the f\u2014king ball.\u201d<\/p>\n

This wasn\u2019t Schmitt\u2019s first mistake of the afternoon, as he got charged with an error himself in the bottom of the first when he was unable to field a throw from none other than Chapman, which let the Padres score the first run of the game. Overall, the Giants generally seemed nonplussed by the fiery remark after the game, as manager Tony Vitello told reporters<\/a>, \u201cSame thing you say to your brother in the backyard if he doesn\u2019t catch it.\u201d<\/p>\n

If it\u2019s any consolation to Schmitt, those two mistakes weren\u2019t the difference in the game. The Giants would go on to give up five more runs in the eventual 7-1 loss, missing out on a series sweep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Broadcast cameras for Wednesday\u2019s Giants-Padres game in San Diego caught San Francisco third baseman Matt Chapman ripping into…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":247692,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[101,103,102,104,106,105,2225],"class_list":{"0":"post-247691","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-francisco","8":"tag-san-francisco","9":"tag-san-francisco-headlines","10":"tag-san-francisco-news","11":"tag-sf","12":"tag-sf-headlines","13":"tag-sf-news","14":"tag-sfgsports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247691","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=247691"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247691\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/247692"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=247691"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=247691"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=247691"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
