"Who's your daddy now baby?" - Manny Machado excitingly claps back after Hall of Famer David Ortiz subtly disses San Diego Padres

San Diego Padres star Manny Machado couldn't hide his enthusiasm after eliminating his former squad, the LA Dodgers, in Game 4 of the National League Division Series on Saturday.

In the post-game interview, Manny Machado was interviewed by the FOX Sports desk that includes Hall of Famer David Ortiz. Just a few days ago, Ortiz took a subtle jab at the Padres by calling the Dodgers their "daddy," implying that San Diego was the inferior of the two sides.

Machado had the last laugh, however, as he responded to Ortiz's banter.

"Who's your daddy now baby?" he clapped back.

Machado finished the game by going 2 for 4 with a couple of base hits. His team showed up in what was perhaps the biggest game for San Diego in close to two decades. The Friars finished off their intra-state rivals 5-3 in the game and 3-1 in the series. The Padres will now head on to the NLCS for the first time in 24 years.

Manny Machado's MVP-caliber season

Machado has been the main man for the Padres this season.

If not for Paul Goldschmidt's historic regular-season run, Manny Machado would surely be the frontrunner for this year's NL MVP award. Despite Fernando Tatis Jr.'s absence, Machado has stepped up and been the anchor for his team's offense.

The six-time All-Star owns a slash line of .298/.366/.897 with 32 home runs and 102 RBIs. In this year's postseason, he is batting .357/.471/1.114 with a home run and 2 RBIs.

If Machado can keep his momentum going, and the Padres continue their hot streak, it will be interesting to see who will come out of their NLCS matchup against the Phillies.
