\n Chris Russo took his own swing at Fernando Tatis Jr., shaming the San Diego Padres superstar for his controversial grand slam Monday night while comparing the star shortstop to an NBA player.<\/p>\n

Tatis swung at a 3-0 pitch with the bases loaded and his team up seven runs against the Texas Rangers in the eighth inning, purportedly breaking the so-called \u201cunwritten rules\u201d of baseball that call for a hitter not to swing in that situation or run up the score.<\/p>\n

Though many former and current baseball players and fans defended one of the burgeoning faces of the sport, the long-time former WFAN voice chastised Tatis Jr. for not taking the take sign from his manager to lay off the pitch.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo matter what you think about the game<\/a> score, no matter what you think about the idea that Tatis hit a grand slam and he\u2019s fun to watch, and he\u2019s sort of an NBA guy playing baseball, a young enthusiastic \u2026 he\u2019s got to take signs from his manager,\u201d Russo said on his MLB Network show, \u201cHigh Heat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tatis indicated after the 14-4 rout that he did not notice the sign, and on Tuesday apologized for hitting what was league-leading 11th home run. In baseball it is sometimes ill-advised to swing at a 3-0 pitch because then the hitter risks an out as opposed to waiting out a walk.<\/p>\n

The 60-year-old Russo taking issue with the 21-year-old Tatis is symbolic of a growing baseball divide, which pins traditionalists, who prefer players to be business-like, compared with a new generation of players like Tatis, who flip the bat after home runs and aren\u2019t afraid to show off their personality on the field.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe in respecting authority,\u201d Russo said.<\/p>\n

Tatis\u2019 manager Jayce Tingler, who spent the past 14 seasons working in the Rangers organization and Rangers manager Chris Woodward each criticized Tatis for his decision to swing at the pitch.<\/p>\n

Woodward was suspended one game after Texas pitcher Ian Gibaut threw behind Manny Machado immedia<\/a>tely following the grand slam. Gibaut was banned three games but is app<\/a>ealing.<\/p>\n

Tatis, the son of a major leaguer, did have the backing of two baseball legends, Reggie Jackson and Johnny Bench, while it seemed Russo was in the minority.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo you take a pitch\u2026now you\u2019re 3-1. Then the pitcher comes back with a great setup pitch\u20263-2. Now you\u2019re ready to groundout into a double play. Everyone should hit 3-0. Grand Slams are a huge stat,\u201d tweeted Bench, likely referring to the fact that baseball players\u2019 contracts often include bonuses for stats such as home runs and grand slams.<\/p>\n

Mr. October tweeted, \u201cFernando Tatis keep playing hard and playing great, it\u2019s a pleasure to watch you play, love your success and the Padres rise to be a winner. Keep leading the way. It ain\u2019t easy to hit Hrs. Keep bringing energy you have to the game, we need players like you. An All Star.\u201d<\/p>\n

There were others who pointed out that no lead is safe in today\u2019s game.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
