If Major League Baseball is ever truly going to grow the game, it has to find a way to move past the unwritten rules. At this point, it’s just getting exhausting.
The Washington Nationals were upset with the Giants on Friday night after the Giants’ Thairo Estrada stole second base and later tried to score on a ninth-inning single with San Francisco already holding a 7-1 lead. Nationals shortstop Alcides Escobar threw Estrada out at home as he tried to tack on that late run, but he needed to be restrained as he shouted at the Giants dugout for having the nerve to continue to play baseball.
