The song “Smack My Bitch Up” shouldn’t be blared through the speakers of any MLB stadium — and especially not as accused domestic abuser Aroldis Chapman is walking off the mound.

Yet the vulgar song boomed through the Wrigley Field PA after Chapman pitched a scoreless ninth inning in the Cubs’ 6-4 loss to the Cardinals Sunday night. The Cubs said the curiously pertinent soundtrack choice was unintentional, terming it “unfortunate” and repeating it “should not have happened.” The team announced it “terminated our relationship” with the employee responsible for the song choice, according to ESPN.

The Cubs closer, acquired from the Yankees before the trade deadline, was the first player to be penalized for violating MLB’s domestic violence policy and served a 30-game suspension at the beginning of the season. The suspension stemmed from an incident in October in which Chapman allegedly choked his girlfriend and fired a menacing eight shots from a handgun in his garage. No criminal charges were pursued.

The lyrics of the 1990s electronic music track by “The Prodigy” are: “Change my pitch up, smack my bitch up.” Yes, those are the only lyrics.

Observers of the episode at the so-called Friendly Confines were incredulous:

The Cubs played "Smack My Bitch Up" after Aroldis Chapman pitched an inning. We've reached a new level of tactlessness and stupidity.

How do the Cubs even have "Smack My Bitch Up" available to play, regardless of the Chapman association which is atrocious? Good. Grief.
