"It was unsettling. Obviously I have a relationship with Manny from years past. There was intent behind it. It didn't almost hit me because there was a net. And that was very bothersome."
"Machado accused Flaherty of hitting San Diego's Fernando Tatis Jr. on purpose...Flaherty struck out Machado and afterward yelled in his direction, telling him to 'sit the f--- down.'"
"I don't know his intent. I don't want to speak for him. But I did see the video. And the ball was directed at me with something behind it."
"Machado did not seem bothered by Flaherty's reaction, instead chalking it up to 'competition.' But the two exchanged words when Machado came back onto the field for defense."
