ESPN and Apple TV have started the trend of interviewing Major League Baseball players during live game action and it is producing some really awkward moments in the field. Specifically when the player being interviewed is part of an error or a botched routine play.
It happened again during Friday’s showdown between the Houston Astros and New York Mets.
As Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena was being interviewed by the Apple TV broadcast crew, he and third baseman Alex Bregman had something of a miscommunication on a routine pop-up on the infield that harmlessly fell between both players.
