Fernando Tatís Jr. apologizes for hitting a grand slam because of the unwritten rules

found himself at the center of baseball’s outdated “unwritten rules” after smashing a grand slam on a 3-0 count with the Padres up by seven in the eighth inning against the Rangers. The homer was his second of the game and gave him the MLB lead with 11. Instead of celebrating, Tatis drew criticism from Texas manager Chris Woodward and even from his own manager, Jace Tingler, who said he should have taken the pitch.
