@MissionVlyMafia @DevineGospel I’m not technically savvy when it comes to the statistical reason but I feel his approach to his swings are overcompensating for lack of rbi scoring in big moments over the past 2 years. He either blasts homers or grounds out. Now he somewhat consistently singles… or grounds out

Fernando Tatis Jr is hitting .242 with a 3.5° average launch angle and a career-low 20% pull rate. Everyone has ideas and analysis on how to fix Fernando Tatis Jr’s swing. It’s pretty awful and I can’t take anymore of this, I have to say something because I haven’t seen a single person give the right answer. I’ve seen multiple people talk about timing mechanisms like toe tap, stride, and leg lift in his swing mechanics that have absolutely nothing to do with his problem. That reverting to past timing mechanisms would somehow help him. THEY ARE ALL WRONG Because they’re all looking in the wrong place. This isn’t a stride problem or timing problem. It’s a tilt problem. Stride, leg lift, and toe tap are timing mechanisms. They control WHEN the hips fire not HOW the bat moves through the zone. A hitter with a Sosa leg kick and a no-stride Ichiro stance can produce identical launch angles.Timing has no lever that touches the bat at contact. What actually sets launch angle is attack angle or the vertical direction the bat is traveling at the moment it meets the ball. Swing up through the zone = ball lifts Swing flat = grounders Swing down = choppers Attack angle is the only mechanical input that matters for elevation and attack angle isn’t random. It’s a direct output of shoulder tilt. When the trail shoulder drops below the lead shoulder at contact, the entire swing axis tilts. The bat is now forced to travel upward through the zone. More tilt > steeper attack angle > higher launch angle. Period. Tatis’s attack angle tells the entire story: 2023: +12° attack angle, +1° pull-side direction/25 HRs 2024 : +10° attack angle. -2° oppo direction 21HRs in 104 games 2025: +8° attack angle, 0° direction/25 HRs, healthy 2026: +5° attack angle, −5° oppo direction His swing has flattened AND drifted away from his pull side. Both are tilt collapse. That −5° oppo attack direction is the giveaway. When you lose tilt, your bat doesn’t just flatten it also gets steered toward the opposite field, because a level swing naturally pushes the barrel away from your pull side. He’s not late. He’s not under-striding. His axis collapsed Over the last few years and it’s worse than ever this year. This explains the 20% pull air rate too. Pulling the ball in the air requires positive attack angle AND a contact point out front. (Ramon Laureanos 2025 attack Angle was +14) If you tinker with timing on a flat swing, an earlier contact point just produces a pull-side grounder. The direction changes. The launch angle does not. Let me break it down for you: Stride > Weight Shift > Hip Rotation >TILT > ATTACK ANGLE > BAT PATH > Contact > Launch Angle Stride is four steps upstream. Tilt is the gate. Attack angle is the output that actually moves the ball. So now we know what’s wrong, how do we fix him? Souza and the Padres staff need to focus on the following; 1.Restore 8–12° rear-high shoulder tilt 2.Get attack angle back to +10° to +12° with neutral or +1° pull direction 3.THEN evaluate timing tweaks 4. If someone is telling him to flatten out his swing or to let the ball travel more PLEASE STOP DOING THAT. That doesn’t work for him You cannot time your way to elevation. Fix the tilt. Attack angle returns. Pull air follows. Please watch the video to see how his swing has gotten worse and flatter. We only have bat path data starting in 2023

@Dearme2_ Pressing the Red button

What's a sign of a very low intelligence?

@DanClarkSports Honestly unimpressed with my guys. Heart attack after another for wins that feel pretty shallow when our best hitters aren’t producing nearly as much as they should. I’d say they’ll get it together but I’ve seen them flop in much bigger moments before.

I want to hear your thoughts in five words or less...

@Puffys_Picks @LAFBNetwork @RamsNFL @AtlantaFalcons Our* season Slow down, you’ll hurt yourself.

@Sh03Shine99 @LAFBNetwork @RamsNFL @AtlantaFalcons That bum choose to go to the NFL and that fucked are season up badly

One year later… who won this trade? The Los Angeles Rams turned it into: Ty Simpson, Terrance Ferguson, Konata Mumpfield The Atlanta Falcons got: James Pearce Jr. & Xavier Watts

@Puffys_Picks @LAFBNetwork @RamsNFL @AtlantaFalcons Simpson didn’t choose to go to the Rams. Chill out

@LAFBNetwork @RamsNFL @AtlantaFalcons Rams lost big time idgaf they had a chance to go wild and decided to suck MCVAY and Snead need to be fired they are both washed ass coke head ass bums smh fuck them also fuck Simpson and his family this shit is personal Simpson ruined the rams Superbowl this season fuck him

Eagles get Makai Lemon at 20 while I get fucking Ty Simpson

@MrSchlub @JKBOGEN But imagine securing a young talented prospect on either side of the ball that could influence our chances even further this year for that “all in” mentality we’ve been swimming in.

@JKBOGEN I think this draft kinda blows and premier players were gone they just traded for McDuffie and signed Jaylen Watson. They’re significantly better on defense in 2026 than last year and they had the best offense in 2025 with everyone returning.

It's not even about Ty Simpson. It's about the fact the #Rams didn't get better in 2026. I don't care who you take, this fanbase is not going to love that notion in a season where they are the Super Bowl favorites. If they fall short, this will always be the thing that is brought up. You could have added a difference-maker early in the draft to help win a Super Bowl instead you took a guy we won't see for 3 years. I have no issue with people being upset just like I have no issue with anyone who likes the pick. Let people feel how they want to feel.

@katerdid2 @JKBOGEN This had much more potential for the win now attitude they seemed to carry. If I could theorize like a crazed doomer for a sec. I think FO went against the wishes of Sean and Snead and picked Simpson to ensure a competence after potentially losing an “all in” Super Bowl attempt

@katerdid2 @JKBOGEN There are Ramifications to this pick. You open up the QB battle between him and Bennet Team is no different than they were before such an expensive draft pick Sean seemed upset and even in the war room preview they weren’t exactly high-fiving so could be some FO shenanigans

@STLCards327 @JKBOGEN FO probably went rogue. Drastic miscommunication maybe

@JKBOGEN It’s more about the fact that Sean looked legit pissed in the presser. I’ve never seen a more underwhelmed Sean on draft day. Something ain’t right.

@efrennn___ @JKBOGEN But lemon went to the FUCKIN eagles. That’s so infuriating

@JKBOGEN why is everyone acting like we didn’t draft PUKA IN THE 5TH ROUND were going to find a stud and maybe lemon wasnt the one for les and mcvay we just gotta trust them we got more picks

@RamsChamps10 Until the season starts right? ….right?

If the Rams draft Ty Simpson or any OL, I’ll deactivate my account tonight

@davidellsberry @badbillypratt @RamsNFL Tomorrow can’t come sooner

@badbillypratt @Sh03Shine99 @RamsNFL That’s possible, going to be fascinating to see just how it all plays out tomorrow night, can’t wait. ✌️

In case you needed a reminder of our Draft picks! 👀

@davidellsberry @RamsNFL First the Giants poached Dart. Now they’re probably sniping Lemon before us. As drastic as it would be if we were to move up we’d have to switch gears and grab Love instead of guaranteeing Lemon. Wouldn’t mind grabbing Sadiq and switching him to WR given hes more talented there.

@Sh03Shine99 @RamsNFL It really sucks this year especially if Mekai Lemon is there at 13 which I think he most likely will be gone before Rams can draft him

@SoCalCMH @JDurham_FBall It’s fine because it was everywhere, when it first hit the scorebugs everybody was 🤮, you just don’t remember

@JDurham_FBall the gradient logo was fine. two colors (white and yellow) beat one (solid yellow … looks like HS) but the uniform number gradient was 🤮

It’s hilarious to me how much revisionist history there is now around the gradient Rams logo having “life” and “vibrancy” and being liked by fans Whether or not you like the new ones, we can be honest that there were very few people that had positive feelings about the old one

@SkullJoker99 @Evan_Hand Rams fans want the Rams head to be the main logo. But yea the gradients are hideous

@Evan_Hand The Rams made changes to the logos based on feedback from the fans over the last few years Like it or not, this is what Rams fans wanted

NFL team logos keep getting more and more lifeless every single year. These teams are stripping away all the character… and it’s a damn shame Bring back the retro logos
