Have you ever heard of a pocket pancake?
Well, now you have.
During Friday’s 16-9 win for the Brewers over the Nationals, the Milwaukee skipper showed viewers what his in-game snack is — and where he keeps it during the game.
When talking to Apple TV+ sideline reporter Tricia Whitaker midway through the third inning, Murphy was asked about his snack-eating habit during games.
“Rumor has it that during the game, you like to partake in some snacks,” Whitaker said to Murphy.
“I’m like anyone else in the world; I don’t need to be singled out,” Murphy replied before pulling a pancake from his back pocket.
Murphy then offered Whitaker a piece of the pancake. She accepted and ate it on live television.
“Pizza, bagels, what else do you keep in your pocket?” Whitaker followed after indulging in the pocket pancake.
“Whatever fits,” Murphy responded.
Murphy seemed to be in a relaxed mood, likely from his Brewers taking a 6-1 lead shortly before his interview.
Shortly before Friday’s game, however, the Brewers placed outfielder Jackson Chourio on the 10-day injured list due to a strained right hamstring.
Murphy revealed to reporters that Chourio’s injury was worse than what management initially believed.
“It won’t be anytime soon,” Murphy told reporters before Friday’s game. “He was diagnosed a little more severely than we initially thought. To what extent, I’m not exactly sure. Nor are they. We’re just going to have to rehab it.”
Murphy added that Chourio, 21, is expected to receive a platelet-rich plasma injection.
Through 106 games this season, Chourio has posted a slash line of .276/.311/.474 along with 17 home runs, 67 RBIs, and 16 stolen bases.
The injury initially occurred during a game against the Cubs on Tuesday after Chourio apparently tweaked his hamstring while legging out a triple.
Chourio downplayed the injury at first, saying that it felt “more like a cramp.”
“When I saw the ball hit off the wall there, I think it happened when I accelerated a touch there to get the extra base,” Chourio told reporters Tuesday. “It was more like a little tickle at first, but the more I kept going, it kept on going. Then I was just hoping to get to third base. Once I got there, it just felt more like a cramp.”
The young star added that he was not worried about missing time.
“No, no. Obviously we hope it’s nothing more serious than it is and I’ll be with the team as soon as I can,” he added.
