Ken Rosenthal Barred from Padres Dugout After Criticizing Players

The Padres reportedly denied Ken Rosenthal access to their dugout following his critical article on player conduct during the NLDS.

Ken Rosenthal was reportedly banned from the San Diego Padres dugout during Game 3 after criticizing players Manny Machado, Fernando Tatis Jr., and Jurickson Profar.
Rosenthal's article described Machado's behavior as 'punkish' and called Tatis a 'smiling, dancing peacock,' which sparked backlash from the team.
The Padres' decision to exclude Rosenthal was a response to his article, which highlighted what he viewed as immature conduct during the series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Fernando Tatis Jr. appeared to respond to Rosenthal's criticism by posting a celebratory photo with a peacock and dancing emoji on Instagram after hitting a crucial home run.
Despite the controversy, Rosenthal continued his coverage from the Dodgers' side, interviewing their manager Dave Roberts instead of Padres personnel.
