I’d do it again. Hey I have stats to pile up..... I have zero problem with him stroking that pitch.... the pitcher should not fell behind 3-0.... if you were able to throw a strike on pitch number 4 , why could you not do it the 1st three pitches.....

If I was at bat with a 3-0 count I’d swing every time. Unless the pitcher is really off that night you’ll get a good pitch it hit. Screw the unwritten rules.

You don’t swing at 3-0 because of the odds of getting on base taking the pitch, not because of any sort of sportsmanship.

That’s almost always the case, but in this situation the manager stated that most of his players have a 3-0 green light. He intentionally gave Tatis the take sign, so I don’t think it was about getting on base here.

This isn’t little league. All elite mlb players have green light on 3-0 counts. High chance you’ll get a hittable pitch.

I love the Rangers but Woodard is just idiotic if he is "offended" by this.

Did anyone watch the Giants-A's series this weekend? The A's came back from 4 or 5 run deficits late in the game in the 9th innning 2 games in a row against the Giants. Screw these "unwritten rules". You play to win.

Woodward is a cuck. Can’t wait for him to get canned.

Did they not earn that count?
how would a batter “earn” a 3-0 count?

By not swinging at pitches out of the zone? Are you familiar with the game of baseball?

I think my point still stands. I’m not sure when not swinging at a 3-0 pitch was supposed to be good sportsmanship.

Maybe I’m confused about where the criticism is directed from.

Lol! Pussy arse baseball snowflakes!
Are the Rangers upset someone’s mom forgot to bring juice boxes for after the game?

Tatis just stole third up 6-0 on the pitcher who was suspended earlier today for throwing at Machado.

It's stupid shite like this that turns people off to baseball. I get not pulling a double steal up 10 runs in the 8th, but if I have a big lead I'm swinging the bat. If you can't get me out, that's your problem.

He would have been on Vitello’s first coaching staff at Mizzou if they’d hire tony instead of Bieser.
