Was not a dirty play on the slide. he went straight to the bag and momentum took him about a foot past the bag. A runners job is to break up the dp.

 

Maybe you aren't aware of the new slide rule this year:

The memorandum also detailed examples of illegal slides. Some of those violations occurred because the runner:

Was not able to remain on the base.

Did not attempt to reach the base with his hand or foot.

Initiated illegal contact with the fielder by throwing his arm/upper body and contacting the fielder above the knee.

Did not begin his slide before the base.

Failed to attempt to remain on base after completion of the slide.

Was not within reach of the base without changing his pathway.

Changed his pathway in an attempt to contact the fielder rather than reach base safely.

 

Joey started his slide on the bag and ended a couple feet past the bag. That is now considered an illegal slide. Runners now have rules when trying to break a double play. Bautista violated those rules.
