Trevor Bauer, Dave Roberts Take Issue With Fernando Tatis Jr. Peeking at Catcher's Signs

What happens when you take the Dodgers, the Padres and sign stealing and put them all together? You get the biggest ongoing beef in Major League Baseball.

Here's the setup: on Saturday, Padres star shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. took Dodgers ace Trevor Bauer deep twice in what ended up being a 5-4 Dodgers win. Tatis celebrated each blast by mocking Bauer's previously-used antics—first by covering his right eye while rounding first base, then by mimicking the "Conor McGregor strut" on the second home run.

After the game, Bauer said he had no problem with Tatis's celebrations, saying that the game needs more of that type of excitement.
