NJ.com | Mike Rosenstein: Manny Machado seems to think that the best way to drive up his market value is to assume the role of mega-heel. In his latest exploits, he appears to clip Boston first baseman Steve Pearce’s right heel with his left foot while running out a grounder in the ninth inning of Game Four of the World Series.
In my opinion, the play, even if it was intentional, isn’t nearly as egregious as Machado dragging his foot across Jesus Aguilar’s calf in the NLCS.
