The LA Dodgers emerged victorious in a tense game against the San Diego Padres, highlighted by managerial drama. Manager Dave Roberts was ejected for the 13th time in his career after arguing a hit by pitch incident involving star player Shohei Ohtani. The issue arose when both teams exchanged pitches, leading to warnings from the umpires. Roberts claimed the hit on Ohtani was intentional, stating, "It's not a misfire," while players like Andy Pages expressed their appreciation for the manager's spirited defense of the team.
For me, if they feel that's warranted on their side, part of baseball, that's what they feel. I give him credit because [Vásquez] hit him in the leg. Own it, and we move on.
I do feel it was intentional. Again, that's part of baseball, which we all understand. It's very hard to miss that bad with a right-handed pitcher.
When something like that happens, it fuels us. He was trying to defend his players.
It's not a misfire. Vázquez took one shot at him. And then hit him again.
