The San Francisco Giants are off to a rough start in 2026, and frustrations appeared to boil over on Wednesday as they lost to the San Diego Padres.

Giants third baseman Matt Chapman made a quick play on a chopper from Padres shortstop Xander Bogaerts in the bottom of the fifth inning. He had to make a quick and off-balanced throw to first baseman Casey Schmitt in an attempt to get the speedy batter.

Chapman’s throw appeared to be a little high, but catchable as it went off Schmitt’s glove and behind him. It allowed a runner on third base to score as the Padres extended their lead to 2-0.

The team then met on the mound to try to calm down. Chapman appeared to mouth, "Catch the f---ing ball," to Schmitt as players met on the mound.

Both Schmitt and Chapman were credited with errors during the game. Chapman did make a heads-up play in the third inning when he threw out Fernando Tatis Jr. trying to score from third base on a grounder.

San Diego eventually picked up a 7-1 victory, dropping San Francisco to 2-4 on the year.
