On-field, in-game interviews have become rather prevalent across the sports landscape. They work well during baseball games because there’s so much down time. It’s a cool insight into a player’s mind while the game is being played. But ESPN decided that was a good time to ask Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas about his dead mother.
