Cubs players talk with Baez about bat flip

Cubs manager Joe Maddon didn’t see Javier Baez flip his bat when he popped up in the seventh inning on Wednesday night. But Baez’s teammates did, and one of them said something to the second baseman about it in the dugout. Baez admitted postgame that he learned from the incident, and that kind of awareness and policing by the players is a good sign, Maddon said.
