I was wrong. The Phillies SHOULD sign Manny Machado

During the NLCS, I got a little emotional.

You see, Manny Machado was doing some stuff, and all of it was bad. He wasn’t hustling, he didn’t care he wasn’t hustling and also did a couple of dirty plays that basically made it seem like he was the worst guy in the world.

The “Johnny Hustle” comments were atrocious. No other way to say it. His kicking Jesus Aguilar’s leg as he ran past first base was mind bogglingly-infantile. And for a guy who was looking for a $300-400 million contract this off-season, claiming he didn’t want to be someone who didn’t hustle was moronic and, without question, tainted his character.
