The majesty of Fernando Tatis Jr.– wondrous, unchecked, irrepressible– beamed onto screens throughout the nation on Thursday. Tatis introduced homers and turned bats to keep San Diegos season alive. One previous Padre watched from his home just outside the city, delighted for his former franchise and mesmerized by the gem the group got in exchange for him.
You believe Tatis was fantastic on Thursday?
So did James Shields.
” I represented four crowning achievement in the video game, in between him and Wil Myers,” Shields cracked to The Athletic on Thursday night. “This is my best playoff efficiency yet.”
Shields, 38, was one of the much better pitchers of his era. He made an All-Star group and finished third in Cy Young Award voting in 2011.
My trade value was pretty decent: Consider James Shields a Fernando Tatis Jr. fan – The Athletic
