Machado is and will always be mlbs dirtiest players. He basically ended Dustin’s career with the side into 2nd then kicking Dustin in the side of the knee. Never the same. Machado out to get drug tested like his drug busted teammate Tatis Jr. See ya jr. no one likes a cheat.
I'm friends with a guy who until very recently played catcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks's AAA team. He played a few MLB games, including two against the Padres and Dodgers when Machado played for them. He said Machado does really stinky farts in the batter's box. That is nasty.
@@rslwannabe9475 he did a normal fucking slide, and Boston fans pissed their pants, get over it bro. It’s a sport there’s always risk when playing 🤷🏼♂️
@@roger80465 according to every study out there, you are dead wrong. The more intelligent a person is, the more likely they are to curse. And honestly, would you rather have to say something is bad in four sentences, or would you rather say that thing is fucked up?
@@scottlemiere2024 And people who use the 'every study out there' argument can't show a single REPUTABLE study to back their baseless claim. Also, if you actually paid attention to my post, I said nothing about intelligence. So even if you can dig up a reputable study, it is irrelevant.
As a kid in Cleveland I remember people would go to games regularly expecting Albert Belle to fight someone. It could have been anyone- opponent, coach, ball boy, hot dog guy, fan. God it was so much fun. Machado has nothing on Belle.
And it's funny because I recently saw an interview with AB, obviously long retired, and he came across as a good guy, talking about how blessed he was to have been able to play MLB and how much fun it was and all the great people he met. But on the field? A savage. Here's the interview, AB starts at 2:23. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JXk1UHy8nwA.html
Am an Orioles fan because I'm from Baltimore. Watched Manny come up. Outrageously talented, but came to dislike him. When you play dirty, you don't respect the game. If you don't respect the game, you don't really love the game. Anyway, I was glad to see him go, good as he is. He's a head case. Wouldn't want him on our team.
@@jamespisano1164 He's not a dirty player when playing for the padres. He's still a premier player so yeah id say it's your loss. That's just how I feel.
MLB needs to start punishing pitchers the same way they punish the batters. A pitcher throws at someone's head, season long suspension no questions asked. A pitcher throws at a batter more than once in a single at-bat, 10 games. And I don't mean 10 games for the team, I mean the pitcher is out for 10 games they would have played in. Starters would be out for half the season.
Saw a minormleage game he was in. Had already been up, but was down again for a short while. He had a call go against him, threw a tantrum, he threw bats on the field, game delayed for 10 or 15 minutes because of him. Egomaniac
The fact that he hurt players with his questionable slides should have brought suspensions . There were many that were bad but luckily no injury but for me there was always intent. It really sucks that he could end the career of Pedroia who played extremely hard but never dirty.
Machodo's slide on Pedroia started the streak of injuries that led to his retirement. Pedroia's health took a turn for the worse after that and I blame Machado mostly.
@Adam Norvell. Either you are not from San Diego, have not watched Machado in several years, or simply do not care enough to follow Machado’s career. Like you, I was once no fan of Machado for the reasons you listed. However, I gotta say that the guy has grown up.
This whole video and comment section sounds like Manny’s old high school girlfriends….bitter and angry! They are on here trashing him for shit 10+ years ago, when he was a Kid! Or maybe he was never happy until he got to SD?🤷♀️. Go to a Padre game and listen to the sold out crowd chant his name every time he’s up to bat. He is very much loved in SD
@@rustyshackleford7285 nah, right as he was coming up on important counting stat milestone HOF voters fawn over, his career ended. hell, Pedroia is the player who made me a fan of baseball and I think it's a long shot in the dark tbh
Catcher makes that play, no-one would have said a thing. The bat was several feet away and dude didn't even notice it. Had to make some excuse for dropping a ball most high school catchers would catch. Stupid
First a caveat, I am not a fan of Manny Machado never have been and actually grew up a Red Sox fan. I’m not going to go as far as to say Machado isn’t dirty, but I see alot of hypocrisy when people talk about him. First, his haters will both say that he’s lazy and can run, and will also say that he collided into players on purpose beyond a reasonable doubt. If you think he doesn’t know how to run, then why can’t you believe it’s possible that some of these are accidents. Second, as a Pedroia fan, I’m am not at all convinced that he spiked Pedroia on purpose Machado slid directly into the bag and as someone who we all agree isn’t a good base runner, it’s completely reasonable that while sprinting full speed to beat out that play that he may have overshot the bag a little bit. The hypocrisy comes in when fans defend and advocate for pitchers such as Sale and Papelbon to intentionally throw at Machado with the intent of causing serious, possibly, career ending injury. That is unarguably “Dirty” baseball. Lastly, the bat drop “at the catchers feet” is ridiculous and just begging the question. The bat by no means what so ever obstructed the catcher. Give me a break. You guys are just trying to find reasons to hate him.
@@iTalkStudios okay I did and in his 2nd season (first full 162 season) he led the league with 51 doubles, an all star, and won the gold glove at age 20. Yup nothing special 🤡
Machado may have been a hot head when he was younger, but he has definitely matured. He's the leader of the Padres on the field and in the clubhouse, and often seems to be the one with a level head. He plays the game the right way, hard and with intensity, as any player should. To say that he is the dirtiest player in the game right now (which you repeat at the end) I think is inaccurate and a disservice. He might have been at one time, but he isn't today. He is a different player.
Machado going to SD has been one of the best things for his attitude (that’s the best word I can think of). It’s put him in a veteran team leader role, which has drastically changed the way he acts.
Getting upset with yourself is one thing... that slide into 2nd base was just absolutely inconsiderate and ridiculous. I cannot believe they didn't give him the Chase Utley treatment.
At this point baseball needs to be a VR sport. No one’s allowed to have fun. You make millions but don’t have the athleticism or field awareness to dodge someone trying to break up a double play. Either let both sides play or just don’t play at all.
I was at the game when he tried to throw his bat at Abad with my dad and friend. I told both them that something was going to happen bc that was the last game of the year both teams would face each other, boy was I right! That whole scene was wild to watch!
The way a former team talks about a player says a lot about them. The Braves love Freddy Freeman, and their fans gave him a standing ovation when the Dodgers played in Atlanta after he moved to the Dodgers. With Manny, it's clear that the Dodgers couldn't be happier that he's no longer on their team.
I dislike Machado deeply. I'm fine with players having emotions and getting pumped up, big bat flip and whatever, but Machado is just plain immature. He gets himself in these situations. Ending Dustin Pedroia's career was by far the worst thing. I was glad that Sale took him to his knees for the WS win in 2018 as karma. I don't think I'll find any respect for him but that's just my opinion and thoughts.
A lot of these kids look up to these MLB players as an example of what they want to be. When they grow up, it’s a shame these players don’t live up to that, they are so disappointing and this is the reason why I’m turning against baseball
I was actually there on the night of Machado vs Ventura! Still completely side with Machado on that one, Ventura was pitching like an ass and he got what he deserved.
I fail to see how Manny's slide against Pedroia was dirty, yeah he came in hard but he clearly didn't mean to injure him. He then got thrown at in like 3 to 4 more at bats including the mentioned one at his head so he has a reason to be upset there
@@2galactic nah…not even close. Other teams boo him because they don’t have him!!! SD loves Manny, come to a game some time and hear 40,000 fans chant his name every time he’s up to bat!
How is throwing your glove and blowing a kiss to the opponents dugout a typical celebration? Graterol was in the wrong for that and was clearing showing up the Padres dugout
I sense there is a Padres fan that is mad because they got swept in 2020. But I’ll be fair here. It was a weird celebration, and that he probably did that to spite machado, but he kinda deserved it. I like machado now because he finally matured since 2012-2020, but I still won’t forgive him for what he has done, but now it’s different.
its a tired narrative at this point, Manny as a padre is 180 from before. He's our captain and I cant think of any Padre fan that wouldn't stand by that, especially after that tatis incident where he big bro'd him . SD loves Manny
Yeah I mean I’m a Seattle fan and I don’t even hate him people in these comments are half the baseball world are such sad old guys that complain about everything
Loved him as a fresh young kid when he came up with the O’s. Immensely talented but he got full of himself and was immature. When he was traded most in Baltimore we’re glad to see him go.
You mean he's cleaned up his public image? If I get in constant trouble because I keep cursing in front of my grandparents, it doesn't mean that I've stopped cursing: I just don't curse when my grandparents are around. Machado LOVES attention, and realized he had a ton of bad attention. People don't change at his age.
I got into it with ARod in his Mariner days in Chicago vs White Sox it was actually hilarious. He had a dirty slide into 2nd and he reached 3rd, I had 1st row right at 3rd base and yelled at him about his dirty slide and he was visibly pissed..never the less a bit later he smashed a HR that had to be one of the longest ever lol and pointed me out turning 3rd base... to bad he went all diva long after that
LOL.... at a Tennessee Oilers 1997 game I yelled something about 36 year old Henry Ellard age during player introductions & that pizzed him off dude caught 2 TDs both in my endzone LOL... Oilers won easily though. Still funny to me
When I was at game 1 of the 2018 World Series when they announced Manny Machado it was one of the loudest I’ve heard a crowd, I hate Machado, he ended one of my favorite players career, Dustin Pedroia
I don't like Manny Machado. I think he's a dick, but I don't think he's a dirty player anymore. This past season when he played against my Dodgers I was enraged when he would steal hits from third or in the shift, but I can't dismiss that he's got skill and I respect that. However he's still a dick who I want to see go 0 for 4. So I guess it's like Reggie Jackson said fans don't boo nobodies.
He's matured for sure. He hasn't gotten into much controversy since San Diego (the Tatis one is NOT due to his poor sportsmanship) and still posesses the same amount of skill.
I can't help but think where Pedroia and the Red Sox would be had he not cleared him. I am glad he is in San Diego far away from the Sox. But he makes it hard to route for the padres.
I agree. A little too impulsive. If he's not just an irredeemable narcissist, I think he'll mature and become well liked in the second half of his career.
I do not believe Machado that the slide that ended Pedroia's career was not intentional. You can see him intentionally kicking up and then down in order to hurt Pedroia while he is sliding. As a Red Sox fan my favorite thing about the 2018 World Series was the Manny Machado was the last out.
I'm a Dodger fan and I was done with Manny "shit-for-brains" Machado when he intentionally stepped on and spiked the Red Sox's first baseman's leg...well after Manny was out. Bush league. So glad the Dodgers didn't resign him. Same guy who didn't run out what should have been a close play at first...in the WS.
As a lifelong Orioles fan, we came to respect the talent but hate the man. To this day I believe that the franchise went downhill in 2017 because Showalter refused to call Manny out on his bullcrap selfish egotistical play and it led to Showalter losing the respect of many of his players.
The interaction between Manny and Tatis was good for the Tabloids and Non Padres fans. Of course, Padres fans know it was about Tatis thinking about the team and not himself.
He was young and angry…..many have been.But it’s time to stop punishing him for his young mistakes.I’d wager every one of you has a few incidents they’d like forgiven for when they were 19-20. He is a leader now in S.D.
I understand why a lot of people don't like machado, but I feel like he has matured a lot his last 2 to 3 seasons and hasn't really had many if any notable events since he's been with the Padres. I would go as far as to say he's normally pretty respectful despite still getting a lot of hate for his old antics.
"Manny Machado got into some altercations that never really materialized into anyone getting hurt, and the one time someone did get hurt, the person who git hurt was on his side. So that means it's ok for Machado to get thrown at on a regular basis."
He could arguably be the dirtiest player ever. His history is what it is. Multiple offenses. Offenses against multiple teams. So many immature bush league moves.
Let me start by saying I’m a padres fan. I was weary when padres signed him to that huge deal with all the extra baggage he had. He was a dirty player IMO. Since he’s come to sd, I can definitely say he’s a changed man. He’s matured and realized what he’s done in the past was him being immature and young. What he did in the past was disgusting and he knows that. He has done a 360 in SD and is trying to be a role model to tatis (also a very young superstar with a lot of pressure). What did machado do recently to warrant this type of video though? He’s been in San Diego for 3 years already! Oh yeah your a red soxs fan 😂 checks out why you would still make a video like this.
If he'd done a 180 in SD he'd have pulled Tatis in the clubhouse & not in public where it can show a guy up! Machado can play, but I doubt you'll find many who'd disagree that he could start a fight in an empty room!
@@BobSmith-rf3ph hey bob you obviously don’t know baseball either if you think machado ripping tatis in the dugout was a problem. It had to happen especially at the moment. If you saw how manny played in Baltimore you can see the obvious 360 he made here in SD.
imagine 5-10 fastballs zipping towards your kneecaps and head and tell me you won't get mad. That slide on pedroia was definitely unintentional, the worst thing I think is the foot step on first base, pretty trashy. The slide towards the end of the video......well.... with the amount of reaction time to seeing where the ball went, you could either run straight into the guy or clip his shoulder with a tackle, or you take a heater to the face from point blank, OR you slide and hope you go slow enough not to hurt them. I think he made the right call there
What a load of crap. Mannys slide into pedroia was to take Pedroia out of the double play, not to hurt him. If you watch it,. as soon as Machado realized he may have hurt pedroia, he went to his aide. Compare that to Bell blatantly knocking down the 2nd basemen tagging him with a forearm. Then, just around 3 min in, that pitcher throws inside and the guy says, "a pitch that tailed in", it didnt tail in, because after two that tailed in, Ventura hits him. But what is really funny is the guys says, "and then they fought", there was no fight, Manny decked Ventura with a shot to the head. LOL. Ventura went down like a lead ballon.
One of the better second baseman I ever saw on the diamond mentioned that he just waited to turn a double play against ass hats. The next time the situation presented itself he wanted the first baseman to set the target low and to the right of first base. And he'd line up on that spot and throw a 95 mph strike - or, set thar throw into the upper torso of the guy trying to take him out at second. All it took was one toss to the chops and retribution was sweet...
Considering that players today seem to play ball only for the money, Manny has made the big bucks, but he also plays hard to win. Back in the day, Manny wouldn't have been unusual for playing hard ball.
In my opinion I believe he’s matured once he got to San Diego cause people gotta remember he was pretty young when he made his debut and I’m sure he’s at that age now where he’s starting to mature more and more as he gets older
Wrong. The answer is Ty Cobb. A reporter said it’s been reported that you sharpen your cleats before every game. He answered how can you expect to cut someone with dull cleats?
The people who said that were Dodger fans. Because when Manny was traded to the dodgers in 2018 Manny didn't do anything in the 2018 World Series. He pretty much wasted the time for that. And when he went to the Padres he hasn't been dirty in a while. The last time he ever played dirty was in 2019
Honestly if Ventura didn’t die he would be the dirtiest, Manny’s interaction with him shouldn’t have been on this video. Ventura deserved to get the crap knocked out of him several times. This guy used to throw 99 right at the batters head several times hr used to always get KC into altercations and he showed no signs of stopping before his tragic accident.
@@joseovalle5450 lmao you act like there still wasn't instances of him doing dirty shit even in recent years. Yeah it's less. Still more then most players.
Alex Rodriquez was never a dirty player ok, slapping the glove? so f ing what? an unusual thing to do but not dirty. When Machado stepped on that first basemans ankle that time told me all I need to know about him.
@@wm_9640 I understand what you're saying. My point still stands. Not everyone learns from their mistakes and matures, so in general, we want people to do this, it shows that a person can grow/learn. Otherwise if you never forgive someone for their past, people are less likely to mature and learn from past mistakes.
We do love him he’s a great person I think he’s been able to mature a lot and it shows he’s the leader of the team and he’s taken a big step in the right direction and hopefully he helps us win it all this year!
Same dude who told a fan that the Padres would win a WS before the Dodgers…I know he played for them, but what he did to The brewers players…he is a dirty player with a gifted arm and cannon at 3B..and when Sale struck his ass out for the 2018 WS…I was mad as a Dodgers fan to lose, but looking at his defeated face made it all worth it
Machado has one of those faces where his eyes look like he's sad/upset over something but he's really just angry for no reason. He has one of those punchable faces that you just wish you could rearrange yourself.
