Manny Machado Presses Padres Reporter For Asking Details of Ejection

What happens on the field stays on the field.

When someone is passionate about the game of baseball, any missed opportunity to help the team will leave a disappointed taste in their mouth.

It was no different for Manny Machado on Tuesday. Visibly angry after a pitch clock violation called by Ron Kulpa, he argued that he had clearly asked for time before the count ended but the umpire ruled a strike and Machado's reaction led to him getting tossed from the game.

Many people have been wondering exactly what the six-time All-Star said to garner him getting ejected and Kevin Acee of The San Diego-Union Tribune decided to pop the big question.

Machado did not greet him with the same enthusiasm.

I love Manny's interactions with Acee 😆

"Everything was going so well, you were having a conversation and then you walked away," said Acee. "He took offense to something you said, what was it?"

"Wouldn't you love to know," responded Machado.

"I would, because you got tossed for it," said Acee.

"Yeah, no. That's between me and him," said Machado.

It wasn't Machado's best moment and especially with it being so early in the season and him not being able to finish a match that his team lost, he is probably looking to put this behind him.

However, Twitter users have every skill known to mankind and have been able to seemingly figure out what he said to the umpire that led to his infamous suspension.

Have a look for yourself.
