However, the Los Angeles Times reports that Padres star third baseman Manny Machado has sent a ball into the Dodgers’ dugout, which he once shared, to the MLB league office for an investigation.
Machado was not only throwing the ball out of play, according to manager Dave Roberts, since Padres pitcher Yu Darvish was receiving another from his catcher.
Roberts stated that he believed Machado intentionally whipped the ball toward the dugout, nearly hitting it.
It escaped my notice at the moment. According to the New York Post, Roberts stated on Monday, “I really didn’t.” “I was blind to it. I watched the video, and it was quite unnerving. I mean, obviously, I used to be friends with Manny. It was done with purpose. There was a net, so I wasn’t quite hit.
And that was really annoying. I would be quite offended if that was directed at me; it’s quite insulting. Thus, I am unsure of his intentions. I have no desire to speak for him. However, I watched the video. And there was something behind the ball that was aimed directly for me. However, I’m not sure what caused that. Although I didn’t witness it immediately, I did see the results.
