"According to Rosenthal, it was the Padres, not the Dodgers, who were the primary instigators here, part of a long pattern of provocative behavior. Rosenthal went after Machado in particular, taking him to task for his war of words with Los Angeles pitcher Jack Flaherty and dubbing his toss of a warmup ball toward the Dodgers dugout the "Sinister Sling".

But he didn't stop there: "Machado is far from the Padres’ only irritant," Rosenthal wrote. "Fernando Tatis Jr. is a smiling, dancing peacock. Jurickson Profar is the kid who pulls the fire alarm at school and then asks, “Who, me?”"

That's some pretty inflammatory rhetoric, going well beyond criticism of individual actions to criticism of several players' characters. And the Padres, unsurprisingly, weren't happy about it: According to Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune, the team went so far as to bar Rosenthal from the dugout during FOX's broadcast of Game 3."
