Reactions to the Yordano Ventura/Manny Machado brawl

On Tuesday night in Baltimore, Yordano Ventura reestablished himself as one of the more hated players in baseball by hitting Orioles third baseman Manny Machado, causing Machado to charge the mound in a bench-clearing brawl.

Yordano Ventura still insists it was an errant pitch.

Ventura on possible suspension: "I don’t think that should be in order. My plan was to pitch inside and one got away. And things happened."
