After One Pitch From Dustin May, Manny Machado Should Consider Retirement

On Tuesday evening, a rookie making close to league minimum made Manny Machado and his $300 million dollar contract look like a bad investment. Dustin May was armed and ready with his 99 mph fastball for his debut at Petco Park. May, 22, got his first win of the season in three starts. He recorded 8 strikeouts with 3 hits and 2 runs. The Dodgers won 5-2.

I would never hold a grudge about Manny Machado being the laziest baseball player to ever wear Dodger blue. Or say that lobbying for the Dodgers to acquire Machado still embarrasses me, 2 years later. What I will say is that Dustin May is absolutely filthy and a fantastic addition to the Dodgers rotation that already includes Kershaw and Walker Buehler. Plus, I would never bet against a fiery redhead that can throw a ball 100mph, that could get dangerous. As much as I complain on Twitter about the Dodgers front office, they actually appear to know what they are doing. Manny, I hope you have been enjoying the sun and sand over playing competitive baseball.
