The Dodgers’ Kike Hernandez had a moment of profanity on television after his team beat the Padres on Friday in a decisive Game 5 of the NLDS.
Hernandez, who hit a home run earlier in the game, was asked after the 2-0 win. Fox Sports’ Ken Rosenthal about what was different about this Dodgers team.
Hernandez then asked if they were live before Rosenthal told him yes.
“The fact that we don’t give a damn,” he said, before smiling.
The interview ended later with Rosenthal congratulating Hernandez on the victory.
Kike Hernández broke into a smile after dropping an F-bomb on US national television.

Hernandez opened the scoring for Los Angeles in the bottom of the second inning with a home run to left center field.
And he celebrated the bomb in an unconventional way while slapped crotches with teammate Gavin Lux.
Hernandez is no stranger to strange moments during the postseason, as he previously admitted to pooping his pants during the 2020 postseason with the Dodgers.
In a video last year he explained that he had a dental infection during that postseason, and one of the side effects of the medication he was taking was diarrhea.
However, Los Angeles would win the title that year and hope to do the same this year after advancing to the NLCS, where they will face the Mets.
Teoscar Hernández (no relation to Kike) also hit a home run in the bottom of the seventh as the Dodgers wrapped up the NLDS.
