I am an old-schooler, and I have a lot of respect for the traditions. I also think playing with respect is important.
Saying all that, I have absolutely no problem with Tatis swinging 3-0. Play the game to win. You load the bases, then go 3-0 on the batter - deal with it. Players have to play in the moment, and Tatis swung at a juicy tater.
Good for him, and his accomplishments should be celebrated - he is a very exciting young player.
