Joe Maddon isn't against pitching inside. It's when the ball starts buzzing batter's heads that the Chicago Cubs manager thinks the increasingly thin line between aggressive and dangerous can get a little too blurry. On Thursday, Maddon thought Pittsburgh starter Jordan Lyles crossed it. So Maddon stormed onto the field after All-Star shortstop Javy Baez twice had to lean out of the way of inside pitches during his fourth-inning at-bat against Lyles. Maddon walked toward the Pittsburgh dugout before being restrained by plate umpire Joe West and Chicago star Kris Bryant, at one point unleashing a pretty spry spin move for a 65-year-old former high school football player in an effort to get away. While the outburst earned Maddon his second ejection of the season, it also provided a spark in what became an 11-3 victory that snapped a four-game losing streak. read more https://www.espn.com/mlb/recap?gameId=401076040
