ST. LOUIS (AP)-- Manny Machado screamed at All-Star teammate Fernando Tatis Jr. in the dugout during the fifth inning of the San Diego Padres' important video game versus the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday night.
Machado screamed as well as cursed at Tatis, informing him "it's not concerning you" as well as "you go play baseball" after Tatis set out looking in the 5th. Tatis responded angrily to the call by plate umpire Phil Cuzzi, and also manager Jayce Tingler was expelled when he came out of the dugout to argue.
"It's not viewed negatively," Tingler claimed. "We're a family members. We're not going to talk about the details, yet we care. There's passion. There's frustration. Those are all emotions that are natural, and those points happen."
Tatis knocked his headgear in the dugout after the strikeout prior to Machado began to offer him an earful. The 29-year-old Machado and also 22-year-old Tatis were separated by teammates during the incident, which came with completion of the top of the 5th. They eventually made their way to their settings-- Machado at third, Tatis at short.
San Diego blew a two-run lead in the eighth inning and shed 3-2 to go down 2 1/2 video games behind the Cardinals for the second and last NL wild card. The Padres entered the year expeted to battle with the Dodgers for an NL West crown, however they've gone 23-32 in the 2nd fifty percent as Los Angeles and San Francisco have pulled away in the division race.
"I believe whenever risks are high and everybody understands what goes to stake, anything can happen," Tingler stated. "We can have arguments, however we still love each various other, we bet each various other, we appreciate each other, and so when you have those solid emotions on both sides things take place. I can not predict what's mosting likely to occur the next couple weeks."
