What did he do?


"loving bullshit. loving bullshit coward stuff. That’s stuff that you don’t loving do. But I’m not on that side, I’m not in that organization. They’re still thinking about that same slide that I did that was no intention on hurting anybody and I’m still paying, I’m still trying to get hit at. Getting thrown at my loving head, getting loving thrown at everywhere. It’s loving bullshit. I’ve lost mad respect for that organization, for that coaching staff, for everyone over there.

[...]

Pitchers out there with loving balls in their hands, throwing 100 mph trying to hit people. And I’ve loving got a bat too. I could go out there and crush somebody if I wanted to. But you know what, I’d get suspended for a year and the pitcher only gets suspended for two games. That’s not cool."

O's fan but Machado is 100% justified in saying this.

The Red Sox are being assholes no doubt but lol if you really think machado is being anything but a whiny bitch.

'Why don't i just attack people with my bat then??' :qq:

Machado's point is that he's NOT doing that but that it is closer to the level of force the Red Sox are trying to use against him compared to a loving SLIDE. The MLB both at the game and after as well as countless analysts have said the slide was not dirty. But for sake of argument let's say Machado went full Ty Cobb and sharpened his cleats and went to the game that day with the intent of taking out Pedroia. It still would be bullshit to throw at his head.

The irony of the situation is if the Red Sox were just regular assholes they would peg him in the ribs or leg or whatever which I wouldn't agree with but would understand and everyone just shrugs.

But the Red Sox are being incompetent psychotic assholes. Incompetent because they still haven't even managed to hit Machado after how many tries? 5? 6?
And psychotic because they are STILL trying to hit him and are basically playing mind games.

So imo Manny has a right to complain about the fact that he has to wonder if every Red Sox pitcher is A. Going to pitch to him or B. Try to maim him on national TV because like a month ago he slid awkwardly that one time. Hell at this point I'm surprised Machado isn't doing a slow rendition of the Michigan J Frog whenever he hits a homerun against them, he loving hates the Red Sox.

And he should.

Apparently the umpires at Fenway had to be escorted out by security tonight.

Why? Those umpires should get a ticket tape parade in Boston for those nonsense ejections.
