Problem with Tatis grand slam while up big?
-
Every at bat is an opportunity to show why you're worth the bag of money.
I don't care what the score is, if I'm up and the pitcher can't throw me a strike and leaves one hanging, you better believe I'm swinging out of my shoes in an attempt to hit it to Jupiter. I'll take those 4 RBI, increase on my OPS and SLG because it matters once my contract comes up. I couldn't care less about these "unwritten rules" and your feelings.It would be different if you're breaking up a no hitter late game by laying down a bunt. That's also an unwritten rule, one that I personally respect. But even if that happens, that's fine and move on. Not an official rule, no harm no foul.

That's another one I completely disagree with. A batters job is to get on base any way they can. I dont see why hitters should only be allowed to swing for gaps or HRs just because they haven't had one fall in yet.

Well like I said, it's one that I personally respect but wouldn't get upset over if it does happen.

If you watch the replay, from one angle you can see Machado in the on-deck circle and he has this defeated, “are you kidding me?” look because he already knows he’s about to wear one.
Lol I know right? I saw that too.

Yeah plunking him just because you gave up the slam.

Yeah, I don't think that should've happened either. Mainly because Tatis is young and as an opposing manager you have to give him a little more leeway when Tatis was doing something that didn't have any malice behind it.

Hey if you get a 3-0 cookie take it yard. Trout also had a 3-0 dinger this year. First time he did that in his 10 year career. No one complained about that.
-
Some "unwritten rules" I agree with. Like trying to bunt to break up a No Hitter is straight garbage IMO.
Swinging 3-0 with bases loaded while up 7??? That's on the pitcher for getting himself in that hole to be honest. It's ensuring there won't be a comeback. Just my thoughts...
-
This is much ado about nothing, Tatis ignored the take sign or missed it all together and got a pitch to hit and did his job. It’s not like he stepped out of the box and pointed to the left centerfield bleachers and called his shot (although that would’ve been hilarious and awesome and arrogant all at the same time). He put a good swing on the ball and it happened to go out. So what. If you had a problem with this than you need to reassess your life!!

Why exactly? It's a perfectly valid way of getting on base. If it's part of someone's skill set, they should use it. Why take that away? Should pitchers only throw fastballs when their team is up big?
-
Don’t get to 3-0 against their best player if you’re gonna cry when you have to groove him a pitch.
-
hey they can do what they did with Barry just intentionally walk him with the bases loaded

If I'm Barry, I take that as the highest compliment I could be given lol

Arizona was up by 2 in the 9th with bases loaded so they walked bonds and the next batter flew out game over Az wins. Was a great strategy and worked out for AZ. But still one of the craziest moments I remember watching.

No it absolutely was not. No one is going to walk a run in up by 2 because they think someone has a bad attitude. It was a sounds strategy against the best player in baseball at the time.
-
He should have said he was trying to hit 3 GS in one inning.
-
To me there is no problem with it. Its really a damned if you do damned if you dont moment. You swing away and hit the ball you're running up the score and people get mad. You don't swing and end up losing the game people will blame you for not taking advantage of a good scoring opportunity. Again, I dont have any problem with him swinging. If you dont eant him swinging 3-0........dont get to 3-0
