Fernando Tatis Jr. after his first Spring Training game in 2023: "It's good to be back out there"

Fernando Tatis Jr. speaks with the media after playing for the San Diego Padres in a Spring Training Cactus League game against the San Francisco Giants on February 28, 2023.
Tatis Jr. walked in his first plate appearance...and then stole a base and scored a run. He proceeded to ground out to the pitcher and strike out looking in his final two trips to the plate.

[@VitalityMassage]

Oh no... Joe... Dropped a weight on his toe. That really blows.

[@jamesc4362]

[@jangulo619]

Hell be good by the regular season

[@VitalityMassage]

@@jangulo619 I like your optimism but we'll see. Pitching is a very intense and precision action and this could be trouble. It will have to be totally immobilized for a while.

You do know his Hoe from San Ysidro showed?

[@VitalityMassage]

@@jbenz1990 And she stepped on his toe and he started to crow!

[@tonysu8860]

Really glad to see El Nino back on the team. Despite the doom and gloomers who were trying to stir up trouble. Tatis is that extra piece that no one else has that helps put the Padres over the top, particularly vs that "other" team that's unfortunately lost their own SS. Is why you can't have enough SS on the team!

[@alexbarraza4873]

So glad to see him back "tatis faithful!!"
