Manny Machado has been about as good at avoiding controversy in the National League Championship Series as he's been about avoiding opposing infielders when he slides into second base — which is to say not good at all. While the baseball world continues to debate the legality of Machado's slides from the Dodgers' Game 3 loss, we also need to go back to Game 2 of the series when Machado triggered a social media backlash by not running out a grounder to shortstop. There wasn't much impact on the game, but rather it raised some eyebrows about how much "hustle" Machado plays with, particularly as he prepares to enter the open market in free agency and is expected to draw north of $200 million and perhaps even $300 million.
