The San Diego Padres reportedly boycotted in-game interviews with Fox Sports reporter Ken Rosenthal during Tuesday's NLDS Game 3 against the Los Angeles Dodgers, per Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune, after Rosenthal wrote an article critical of Manny Machado and the Padres following Game 2.
In the column, Rosenthal described Machado lightly throwing a ball into the Dodgers' dugout during a heated game as a "punkish response" and dubbed it as the "Sinister Sling." He wrote that Machado is "entirely willing to engage in conduct some might consider unbecoming, and he's unapologetic about it.
