Spirits are heating up among the Dominicans Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr, apparently frustration at the misstep of parents (currently out of the MLB playoffs) began to wreak havoc among players from San Diego.
No one expected the Padres to be without a major league playoff this year, not after hires and reinforcements at bat and on the mound. Still, here we are, right now with San Diego out of the playoffs.
And today the lack of attitude Tatis jr, after a round at bat where he was taken out without further ado, was apparently the trigger for Manny machado assume his role as leader of the Padres and strongly reprimand his young compatriot.
“You have to play baseball,” Machado apparently told Tatis in a more than fiery tone as his companions tried to prevent the discussion from going any further.

Too much nonchalance on the part of Tatis Jr? Scold more than Machado?
Remember this is not the first time Tatis has had issues with his attitude, so as not to go back so far we have the controversy when the Padres manager berated him for not following “the rules unwritten baseball ”.
Perhaps the most curious thing about today’s fight is that Machado is “the rebuke” of history. Another player famous for his attitude problems but who seems to be in San Diego has already found his stability as the leader of the group.
In the end, by the way, the Padres lost one more game to the Cardinals, further complicating their fight for the national wild card.
Not to mention that everything is bad in 2021 for Padres, the new rich of Major League Baseball.
