BREAKING: Manny Machado of the Padres Calls Out the Dodgers for Fernando Tatis’ HBP, Saying LA Should “Pray” He’s Alright

Following Fernando Tatis Jr.’s hit by pitch in the top of the ninth inning of Thursday’s game, San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado criticized the Los Angeles Dodgers, saying the team needs to “pray” that Tatis is okay and that the scans come back negative. “Let’s just hope the CT scan comes back negative,” Machado said, adding, “They gotta pray it comes back negative tomorrow.” Tatis was hit in the top of the ninth inning, which caused the benches to clear and both managers Dave Roberts and Mike Shildt to be held back.

For what it’s worth, Shildt said the scans came back inconclusive and Tatis was “not in a good place.”

Shildt also called out the Dodgers, saying “enough’s enough.”

“Intentional, unintentional, the fact of the matter is I took exception with it,” Shildt said.

Roberts said he “didn’t feel good” about Tatis getting hit again, adding “that’s the last thing I wanted.”

However, he reacted the way he did due to Shildt’s reaction directed at him.

“I felt that he was trying to make it personal with me, which then,” Roberts said, “I take it personal.”

Roberts also said there was “clearly” intent with the Ohtani hit by pitch.

As for if the Padres crossed the line?

“That’s their decision. And MLB is gonna have to look at that. That’s after warnings were issued.”
