Dodgers Take Multiple Shots at Padres Manager, Manny Machado

The San Diego Padres are two games into a four-game set with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

As one may expect, tempers are flaring and the competitiveness has been brewing. After some comments made by manager Mike Shildt and Manny Machado on Monday night, L.A. seems to have taken offense as proven by their social media posts during Tuesday's game.

When right-hander Dylan Cease hit Dodgers outfielder Andy Pages with a pitch on Monday, the young outfielder seemed to believe that there was intention behind the errant pitch as he stared down Cease from the batter's box and appeared to say some words in the direction of the mound.

Both bullpens prepared for an imminent brawl, but Pages would make his way to first base without any further drama ensuing.

Superstar Manny Machado said after the game that if a target was going to be painted, there are more notable options on the expensive Dodgers roster.

“They got way more superstars over there if we want to hit somebody,”Machado said.“They’ve got some big dogs over there we could hit.”

After Pages hit his first home run of the night, the Dodgers official X account tweeted the video of the solo shot with the caption, "Big dog, Andy Pages." This appeared to be directly linked to Machado's comments the night prior.
