Overview

  • Chisholm fielded a grounder from Ceddanne Rafaela in the third inning before his throw sailed past Paul Goldschmidt for an error that allowed an infield single.
  • Chisholm cursed in frustration on live TV and later muttered “spin throw” as he returned to his position.
  • ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball introduced in-game interviews to give viewers an up-close look at players’ thoughts and emotions during play.
  • Reactions on social media ranged from criticism of the in-game conversations as distracting to praise for their candid insight.
  • With ESPN’s contract ending after 2025, MLB is in talks with potential partners such as Apple TV+ and NBCU for its primetime broadcast rights.
