The Dodgers’ Kiké Hernandez had a foul-mouthed moment on TV after his team beat the Padres on Friday in a decisive NLDS Game 5.
Hernandez, who hit a home run earlier in the game, was asked after the 2-0 win by Fox Sports’ Ken Rosenthal about what was different about this Dodgers team.
Hernandez then asked if they were live before Rosenthal told him that they were.
‘The fact that we don’t give a f***,’ he said, before breaking into a smile.
The interview ended after that as Rosenthal congratulated Hernandez on the win.

Hernandez opened the scoring for LA in the bottom of the second inning with a home run to left-center field.
And he celebrated the bomb in an unconventional way as he bumped crotches with teammate Gavin Lux.
Hernandez is no stranger to odd 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 tooth infection during that postseason, and one of the side effects of the medication he was taking was diarrhea.
Nonetheless, LA would go on to win the title that year and they’ll hope to do the same this year after advancing to the NLCS, where they’ll face the Mets.
Teoscar Hernandez (no relation to Kiké ) also hit a home run in the bottom of the seventh as the Dodgers wrapped up the NLDS.

Yamamoto allowed two hits over five innings for the Dodgers before being pulled after 63 pitches in a decisive Game 5 between heated rivals who were meeting in an NL Division Series for the third time in five years.
San Diego, meanwhile, went scoreless for the final 24 innings of the series, dropping the last two games after taking a 2-1 lead back home.
The Dodgers will play Pete Alonso and the New York Mets in the best-of-seven NLCS starting Sunday night in Los Angeles.
