Rhys Hoskins, formerly of the Phillies, sparked controversy with a slide into second base during a game against the Mets. The slide led to both teams clearing benches. Despite being in Milwaukee, Hoskins' actions show his Philly roots. Some criticize his slide as 'fake tough guy stuff,' almost injuring Jeff McNeil. Hoskins also hit a 2-run blast in a separate play, extending the lead against the Mets.

This is some fake tough guy stuff from Rhys Hoskins. He almost injured Jeff McNeilโs ankle with that bush-league, dirty and super-late slide. https://t.co/VyQ6LVySZu
