The San Diego Padres took on the Los Angeles Dodgers in game 2 of the National League Division Series Sunday night and things escalated as Manny Machado threw a ball at the Dodgers dugout.
Game 2 between the Padres and Dodgers was full of action as there were arguments between players even between fans and players.
After the game there were reports that Padres third baseman Manny Machado threw a ball at the Dodgers dugout almost hitting manager Dave Roberts but it was not caught on the broadcast.
A clip from what seems to be a security camera caught the incident in which Machado is seen throwing a ball quite viciously at the Dodgers dugout.
Here's the video of Machado throwing the ball into the Dodger dugout. I'd venture to guess that's the hardest he's ever thrown a ball into a teams dugout but this IS Machado so I could be very wrong. As I said, I wanted to see the footage & here it is!
Aaccording to reports, the Dodgers have sent in the video to the league in hopes of getting him suspended but there has been no update thus far.
Roberts also spoke to reporters about the incident stating that he was shocked when he saw the video as the baseball was clearly aimed for him and if it was not for the net, it could have been really bad.
"It was unsettling," Roberts said. "Obviously I have a relationship with Manny from years past. There was intent behind it. It didn't almost hit me because there was a net. And that was very bothersome. If it was intended at me, I would be very -- it's pretty disrespectful. So, I don't know his intent. I don't want to speak for him. But I did see the video. And the ball was directed at me with something behind it. But I don't know what led to that."
