After leapfrogging the poor Braves mascot, Manny Machado doubled home the Dodgers' first run

By Matt Monagan

Before the Braves took on the Dodgers in NLDS Game 4 on Monday, Manny Machado took some time out of his pregame workout to play with the Braves' mascot, Blooper. Well, actually, he pretended to play with him and then just walked away:


Poor Blooper. What is a Blooper?
To add insult to injury, Machado then took the first pitch he saw in the first inning and ripped it down the left-field line for an RBI double. Just totally owning every aspect of SunTrust Park. 
Not the best way to be invited back to Atlanta, Manny.
