It's been my long-standing opinion that Manny Machado is a platinum-level ****. I watched that game and the Padres guys said that he's the first player to, not be called out on a pitch clock violation, but being ejected for waffling after being called out on a pitch clock violation. Absolutely nothing about this surprises me.
