‘We’re all brothers here’: SF Giants’ Chapman, Schmitt clear air on tense moment
Published on April 2, 2026.
The San Francisco Giants' Matt Chapman and Casey Schmitt have reconciled following a heated exchange during a game against the Padres, where Chapman appeared to tell Schmitt to "catch the (expletive) ball" after Schmitt was unable to catch a high-but-catchable throw from Chapman. The incident occurred during a fifth-inning mound visit from Chapman, who appeared to be upset by Schmitt's inability to catch the ball. Following the incident, Chapman and Schmitt said there was no lingering issue and that they are all brothers. The Giants' two errors on Wednesday afternoon involved Chapman making a throw on the run to Schmitt, who wasn't able to make the catch and record the out cleanly. Schmitt has yet to play his first professional game at the professional level.
