Another day, another reason why the New York Yankees should think twice before signing Los Angeles shortstop Danny Dodgers, Manny Machado.
This comes from the fourth game of the National League championship series between the Dodgers and the Milwaukee Brewers.
In the 10th inning, Machado grabbed the back leg of the Brewers' first baseman, Jesus Aguilar, while he was running a ball to the ground.

Here's what happened next, by ESPN:
Both benches were cleared after the incident. Aguilar's right foot was on the first goal and it looked like Machado intentionally hit him with the left foot, frustrated after being called.
"It was a dirty game from a dirty player," said Christian Yelich, a Brewers player.
…
"It's a player who has a history of this type of incident," Yelich said. "Once, it's an accident … repeated over and over again, you're just a dirty player.It's a dirty game from a dirty player." That's what it's like. I have a lot of respect for him as a player, but you can not respect someone who plays the game like that.
Ex-Yankees in the playoffs
This has not been a good NLCS for Machado.
In the fourth inning of the second game, a 4-3 win from the Dodgers, Machado did not jostle the straight line to score a short stop.
Ken Rosenthal of Athletic interviewed Machado about what happened. Machado did not help with his answer:
"I'm not the kind of player that's going to be" Johnny Hustle ", and that slips to the first goal and … you know, anything that can happen.This is just not my personality, it's not my cup of tea tea, it's not who I am. "
That can not make Brian Cashman feel good. Machado is an option for the Yankees looking to replace Didi Gregorius, who will miss the start of the 2019 season because of the surgery suffered by Tommy John. Bryce Harper, champion of the Washington and Washington Nationals, will dominate free agency titles after the World Series.
Regarding the incident of the fourth game, the Los Angeles Times announced that the chief officer of the baseball baseball league, Joe Torre, was planning to review the game.
