Kyle Schwarber caught cursing on hot mic during All-Star Game

[ASFN Admin]

It was Kyle Schwarber being Kyle Schwarber.

The Philadelphia Phillies' beloved designated hitter was caught using profanity on a hot mic during the third inning of the 96th All-Star Game on July 14 at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.

Schwarber was wearing a microphone for FOX during his second at-bat of the game in the third inning, with the National League trailing 3-0.


Schwarber, who was talking with FOX broadcasters Joe Davis and John Smoltz, swung at the first pitch, and the earpiece came out of his ear. Schwarber tried to locate and grab the earpiece and said, "Whatever, f--- it."

Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers then helped with the earpiece while Schwarber smiled.

The interaction was caught on social media.

Schwarber finished the game 0-for-2 with a strikeout — one of the NL's All-Star Game record 15 strikeouts. The National League lost the game 4-0.

The whole interview had social media buzzing.

Watching Kyle Schwarber attempting to take an at bat in the #AllStarGame with an earpiece in or a catcher trying to do the same was frustrating to see and a brain dead move by @FOXSports

I know miked up players during the game is controversial. I don’t hate it. But if you’re gonna ask Kyle Schwarber a question in the middle of an at bat, do you have to wait till the pitcher is in his wind up to ask him a dopey, “so how was the home run derby last night?”

Fox has Kyle Schwarber talking to the television audience on a microphone while he’s up at bat? The announcers are asking him questions (through an ear piece in his ear) while he’s facing pitches. Bizarre.

Let the players focus on the game @MLB

Whoever thought it be a smart idea to have Kyle Schwarber do a live interview while he’s batting is an idiot.
Especially when John smoltz is asking him questions 2 seconds before the pitch is thrown … pic.twitter.com/L4Y8zIzUu7
