"Rushing appeared to say '[expletive] 'em' as Jung Hoo Lee sat at home plate upon being thrown out to end the sixth inning. Television cameras captured Rushing looking back toward home plate and appearing to deliver the F-bomb, which quickly went viral on social media."
"Logan Webb felt it necessary to defend his teammate in the series finale. Webb threw an inside fastball that hit Rushing in his ribs. Then while running the bases, Rushing slid hard into Willy Adames on an attempt to break up a double play."
"Dodgers manager Dave Roberts answered when asked if he believed Webb intentionally hit Rushing. 'And for me, he said what he said. I don't think he meant it too personally, but they see it, social media catches it.'"
