In cased you missed it, San Diego Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr. angered a lot of dorks Monday night when he had the gall(!) to do his job against the Rangers and hit a grand slam on a 3-0 pitch in the 8th inning that gave the Padres an 11-run lead.
I mean, come on. Those lame unwritten rules of baseball need to go away forever. The Rangers could have scored eight runs over the final two innings and it’s the Padres job to build their lead, which Tatis did by swinging at a pitch and sending it over the wall.
Well, on Tuesday the Padres and Rangers played again and San Diego had the gall(!) to hit another grand slam, this one in the first inning by Wil Myers:

Are the Rangers OK with the Padres doing that or is that a rude thing to do in the first inning?
MLB fans had jokes:
Did they check with the Rangers to make sure it was OK this time? https://t.co/k8hmGRKoPq
