Though the city may no longer be home to the infamous Union Stock Yards, the events of their series with the Brewers and Pirates have shown us that there’s still plenty of beef in Chicago. Willson Contreras directed a volley of f-bombs toward Eric Thames this past weekend, and now we’ve gotten a more recent kerfuffle between Javy Baez and Pirates manager Clint Hurdle, who has apparently appointed himself grand arbiter of playing the game the right way.
Shoot, has anyone told Mike Matheny about this yet? I’ve got a feeling the Cardinals aren’t going to be jazzed about having their authority usurped in this manner.
