Astros’ Jeremy Peña flubs easy Jeff McNeil pop-up in latest mic’d-up MLB mishap

A mic’d-up mishap has now plagued the Astros.

During the second inning against their 7-2 loss to the Mets , both shortstop Jeremy Peña — who had the mic during the Apple TV+ broadcast — and third baseman Alex Bregman tracked down a seemingly benign pop-up from Jeff McNeil, though neither could actually catch it.

As the two ran underneath the ball, there was seemingly no communication over who would take it.

Noticing the ball was behind him, Bregman stopped and turned around, hoping to see Peña catch the ball.

He did not.

Instead, the ball bounced on the dirt between them and a frustrated look quickly surfaced on Peña’s face.

Luckily for Peña, the error didn’t impact the inning.

McNeil was quickly caught in a pickle while trying to steal second base, and Harrison Bader later struck out to end the frame.

A similar instance happened earlier in June to the Dodgers’ Kiké Hernandez, who committed an error while interviewing with Apple TV+ announcers Wayne Randazzo and Dontrelle Willis.

Willis asked: “You guys are [a] very close-knit ball club. Where does that come from?” just as the Yankees’ Gleyber Torres hit a ground ball to Hernandez at third base.

Before the infielder attempted to field the ball, Willis told Hernandez to answer “after the play.”

Nevertheless, Hernandez was unable to grab the ball cleanly, and Torres arrived safely at first.

After a 2-1 Los Angeles win, Hernandez admitted that the ball bounced strangely and that the interview may have only impacted him a bit.

Hernandez said the misplay wouldn’t deter him from agreeing to do an interview in the future, though, as players earn a $10,000 stipend for partaking in the in-game interviews during a regular season game and $15,000 in the playoffs.

“No, because we’re getting paid,” Hernandez said. “I like money.”
