Baseball loves unwritten rules, and Padres star Fernando Tatís Jr. has unfortunately found himself in the middle of a heated debate over the whether or not to follow them.
During the Padres' 14–4 win over the Rangers Monday night, Tatís homered twice, including his first grand slam. While that sounds innocent and fun, some people took exception to what happened in the eighth inning. With San Diego up 10–3, Tatís worked a 3-0 count against pitcher Juan Nicasio. Most hitters wouldn't swing in that situation, but Tatís never misses a chance to remind us why he's one of baseball most exciting and talented players.
