Dodgers’ Dalton Rushing under fire for his latest reckless slide

Dalton Rushing once again went Dalton Rushing during Tuesday’s game.

The Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Rushing drew ire in the middle of his team’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. During the fifth inning at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pa., Rushing was on first base with nobody out and teammate Alex Freeland at the plate.

Freeland bounced a ball to the right side that looked like a possible double play. But Rushing went way off the bag to slide into Pirates shortstop Jared Triolo in an attempt to break things up.

While Freeland ended up beating the return throw to first, the gambit was short-lived. Upon review, Rushing was called for interference due to the illegal slide, and Freeland was ruled out at first base as a result. Here is the video.
