Fans likely haven't forgotten the moment in June when tensions came to a boil in the National League West rivalry between Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres. Shohei Ohtani certainly hasn't forgotten, either.
Ohtani took a 100 mph fastball to his shoulder blade half an inning after Fernando Tatis Jr. had been plunked by a pitch. But although the ball came from Robert Suarez's hand, the message came from then-Padres manager Mike Shildt.
Both managers, a bench coach and Suarez were all ejected from that game following the fracas that ensued when Tatis was hit earlier in the inning.
