Manny Machado was ejected from Sunday's game against the Athletics in the eighth inning after he swung and missed at a pitch and threw his bat in the direction of third base.
Machado has been instigating trouble all series after being the victim of what he thought was a hard tag from Josh Donaldson in the first game. After hitting A's catcher Derek Norris with a couple of backswings earlier in the game, Machado seemed to take exception to Fernando Abad coming inside to him, and both benches eventually emptied. While he's an amazing young talent, perhaps Machado's maturity level could still use a bit of work.
