Pretty impressive to scroll through Padres Twitter / Blue Sky / Threads etc and see so many solutions to Fernando Tatis Jr’s hitting woes. I’m hooked.

“It’s his lower body!'“

“He’s hurt!”

“His swing load is wrong!”

“He’s wearing the wrong gloves!”

On and on it goes and - honestly - since he doesn’t seem to know how to fix things and his coaches haven’t yet figured out a solution, why not peruse social media for ideas at this point?

In this podcast, Marty and AJ Cassavell ask if Fernando should be more like Luis Capusano and just “stop giving a fuck”. We are reaching Bull Durham levels of analysis.

After Padres talk (including Luis Arraez’s impressive 2B defense), we talked some NBA Playoffs, UEFA Champions League with a dash of Game Of Thrones sprinkled in. Enjoy Tuesday’s MartyTimeTV & Section 1904 collab.
