Episode Details

Manny Machado’s on pace for a career-high 158 games this season, but his performance is hitting historic lows at age 34—batting average, on-base percentage, and slugging all at career-worst levels. His bat speed’s slowing, contact quality’s dipping, and defense isn’t where fans expect. He admits fatigue may be to blame, though he’s unsure. The Padres are pushing him through October despite the dip, which came out of nowhere after last year’s solid campaign. Can he rally? The team’s counting on it.
