New York Mets’ Jeff McNeil loses control of the ball as Milwaukee Brewers’ Rhys Hoskins slides into him during the eighth inning of a baseball game Friday, March 29, 2024, in New York. New York Mets’ Jeff McNeil exchanges words with Milwaukee Brewers’ Rhys Hoskins after Hoskins slid into him during the eighth inning of a baseball game Friday, March 29, 2024, in New York.
The teams stayed separated and there was no pushing and shoving, though Hoskins rubbed his eyes as if to call McNeil a crybaby, and McNeil cursed at Hoskins from across the diamond. “He’s had some pretty questionable slides at second base, for sure,” McNeil said. “Definitely remember looking at some in the past that were definitely not OK. So I knew there was a possibility that might happen. And it did.”“I kind of like laid there afterward. A couple of guys said, I thought maybe you hurt yourself. But I was just kind of letting whatever McNeil needed to get out, let him get it out,” Hoskins said.
