In an interview on 106.7 the FAN in D.C.'s The Sports Junkies on Wednesday, Washington Nationals' GM Mike Rizzo revisited the discussion he had with umpire Jim Joyce during the series in New York when Jayson Werth "illegally" slid into second base.
Dusty Baker went out for a chat with umpire Jim Joyce after a slide at second by Jayson Werth late in the Washington Nationals' lone loss to the Mets last week in New York was ruled "slide interference".
Werth slid past the bag trying to disrupt an attempted double play, held on to the base and made contact with Mets' second baseman Neil Walker as the infielder was throwing to first.
