Fernando Tatis Jr. took Trevor Bauer deep (twice) on Saturday and one of his celebrations went viral. <\/p>\n
The San Diego Padres shortstop hit another home run off the Dodgers right-hander Sunday, this time on Twitter. <\/p>\n
Bauer, predictably, kept the pot stirred by quote-tweeting a post that insinuated Tatis Jr. was glancing at the catcher's signs prior to his home run. <\/p>\n
"If you need to know what pitch is coming that badly, just ask daddy nicely next time @tatis_jr," Bauer wrote. "You know I ain’t scared homie." <\/p>\n
Tatis Jr. replied with a photo-shopped picture of Bauer's face — finger pointing to a closed eye (going back to his attempts to pitch one-eyed in spring training) — over the body of a toddler in his arms. <\/p>\n
"Tranquilo hijo," (Calm down, son) Tatis Jr. wrote. <\/p>\n

Bauer wasn't done yet.<\/p>\n
"You and Manny do make a pretty cute couple afterall (sic)," he wrote, an apparent reference to the Padres' third baseman Manny Machado. <\/p>\n
To be fair to Bauer, he welcomed Tatis Jr.'s home-run celebration after Saturday's game, saying: "I like it. I think that pitchers who have that done to them and react by throwing at people, or getting upset and hitting people or whatever — I think it's pretty soft. If you give up a homer, the guy should celebrate it. It's hard to hit in the big leagues."<\/p>\n
