I was up late last night researching an entirely different piece when I saw a strange story developing on my MLB app and Twitter. It seemed like the Padres’ phenom shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. had ignored a sign of some sort and was apologizing for his lapse after his manager Jayce Tingler expressed disappointment at the oversight. I decided to look up what happened and found this [VIDEO].
That’s right, Fernando Tatis Jr. was apologizing for...hitting a grand slam.
Everything about this is problematic, but before I get into that let me show you the post game comments from Padres manager Tingler, Rangers manager Chris Woodward and Tatis.
