David Ross presented some alternative facts stating that what Pedroia was trying to say was "I didn't tell them to do it, but they have my backs so stop staring at me."
This wouldn't be an issue if Machado wasn't such a baby.
That is very true. My 8 lb chihuahua used to hold her own against my 100 lb pit bull. Now she holds her own against a 75 lb hound dog and no longer has front teeth.

Dustin Pedroia only has 3 games so far with multiple hits. He has yet to reach base more than twice in one game. He's only had RBI in two games. He had one double and no triples or home runs.
This guy just sucks right now. His flapping gums aren't helping the situation either.
