Murphy's Hot Mic Moment: Padres Star Steals Show
7 Oct
Summary
- Manager Murphy's expletive caught on a hot mic during an interview.
- Padres center fielder Jackson Merrill made a spectacular sliding catch.
- San Diego scored two runs shortly after the blooper moment.
During Game 3 of the NLDS between the Milwaukee Brewers and the San Diego Padres, manager Pat Murphy had an unexpected hot mic moment. While being interviewed by Fox Sports' Tom Verducci, Murphy was overheard expressing frustration as a hit by Sal Frelick appeared to be heading for extra bases.
Murphy was heard saying, "Get it in the gap, Sal. God dammit, Merrill." The broadcast crew immediately cut the audio feed from the interview, but the amusing incident left the commentators in laughter. This moment is likely to be remembered as a classic mid-game interview mishap.
The game continued with the Padres adding to their lead. Fernando Tatis Jr. drove in a run, and Jackson Merrill hit a single and then stole second base. Manny Machado subsequently brought Merrill home with a line drive. The Brewers managed to tie the game at 2-2.
