Fernando Tatis Jr. stole third with the Padres leading 6-0 because he is the best

On Monday night San Diego’s Fernando Tatis Jr. did what he is paid to do and hit a grand slam on a 3-0 pitch that gave the Padres an 11-run lead.

In the process, he angered a bunch of people, including members of the Texas Rangers, because of one of those dumb unwritten rules in baseball that losers still follow.

Well, on Tuesday against the very same Rangers, Tatis continued to do what he’s paid to do – he stole third base with San Diego leading the game 6-0.

Tatis, who was wrong to apologize for his grand slam, was right to do this:

That is so awesome. What made it even more awesome is that he did that against the pitcher who threw behind Manny Machado on Monday night after Tatis hit his grand slam.

Sorry, unwritten rules dorks. This is great.
