Cubs pitcher Justin Wilson got into it with Anthony Rizzo during Friday’s game against the Reds.

Wilson came on in relief, and he really didn’t do a good job. It took three base runners and an earned run until Rizzo made a great diving catch on a bunt attempt, to help slow down the rally.

For some reason, though, Wilson was seen telling him to “shut up” in a meeting on the mound afterward.

Wilson has some big stones, as Rizzo is a big guy, and he’s also one of the clubhouse leaders as well.
