You make the call: The slide in the 9th

With one out and runners at the corners in the ninth inning of Saturday’s 8-3 Chicago Cubs win over the Chicago White Sox, Anthony Rizzo hit a double-play grounder to Yoán Moncada. The play took long enough to develop that Rizzo was almost certain to beat the throw to first after Javier Baez was forced at second base.

But on his slide, Baez stuck his arm out in attempted contact with shortstop Tim Anderson, who may or may not have gakked his throw wide right to first base in adjusting to Baez’s swipe.
