Injuries and a teamwide slump at the plate have the San Diego Padres headed in reverse as their playoff hopes get dimmer.

Machado could reportedly be heard yelling “It’s not (expletive) about you,” inside of the dugout.

Padres writer Kevin Acee added, “This is shortly after Fernando Tatis Jr. had been called out on strikes in the fifth inning. Manny Machado could be heard yelling, “It’s not (expletive) about you.”
