Benches cleared during tonight’s Cubs/Pirates game after Pirates pitcher, Joe Musgrove, slid hard into second baseman Javier Baez. Tonight’s slide comes on the heels of Anthony Rizzo’s questionable slide that took out the back leg of Pirates catcher, Elias Diaz, during Game 1 of the series.
Both slides are hard but I’ll let you be the judge which one (if any) were dirty.
Here’s Rizzo’s from Game 1 of the series.

Disagreement between Baez and Musgrove, slide looked a little late to me. pic.twitter.com/RiU4nKTmXP

Here’s an idea MLB — MAKE THE SLIDE RULES CRYSTAL CLEAR SO WE CAN AVOID HAVING CONVERSATIONS ON WHAT IS DIRTY AND WHAT IS FAIR!
