In the heat of battle, San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman was seen yelling profanities at teammate and first baseman Casey Schmitt. However, both players confirmed there is no lingering beef.
Specifically, Chapman was caught yelling, “catch the f*****g ball to Schmitt after a ball through his glove led to a run being scored. Either side understands they're both united in the same goal, no matter how harsh the verbiage, via Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports.
“We’re all brothers here. It’s the heat of the moment,” Chapman said. “I already talked to Casey. It’s all good.”
“We’re trying to win games,” Schmitt added. “I’m not mad about it.”
“Catch the fucking ball.”

The Giants went on to lose their Wednesday matchup against the Padres 7-1, dropping to 2-4 on the season. While the Chapman-Schmitt made headlines, it didn't play a defining role in a six-run loss. Relief pitcher Jose Butto gave up four runs in .1 innings, ultimately making San Diego's lead insurmountable.
Still, the Giants committed two errors on the night. They have only made three total on the year, meaning it hasn't been a long-term problem yet. But manager Tony Vitello and company and trying to ensure it doesn't become a habit for San Francisco.
As are Chapman and Schmitt. While it may be uncommon to see two teammates yelling at each other, both are simply focused on winning. Clearly their effort wasn't strong enough on that play. Moving forward, the corner infielders will work to be on the same page and ultimately lead the Giants to victory.
