Royals (Bubic) vs Brewers (Rodriguez): 3/31/25, 1:10pm

Unwatchable 

How can you settle for a bullpen game for the home opener - especially after the pummeling by the Yankees 

Is this 2002?

Anybody who thinks these bats are our problem is crazy. And I'm not saying you or anybody really thinks that. I see Hoskins ordered some. I suspect it will do him not one bit of good.

But could it hurt....?

[Bulldogboy]

I am alarmed by the state of this team. You get what you pay for and this organization has been playing above it's head for awhile now. Maybe a bad year is needed to make ownership step up.

If he’s still in the game, Jon Miller with the Giants.

Does Garcia use a torpedo bat?

Brewers use the Potato bat.

Or "The Waltons."

[adambr2]

So any really good prospects in the 2026 draft?

I just hope they play better today than they did in NY.

Hope harder

This is getting a bit ridiculous.

Won’t help him pull pitches 8 inches down and away…

Step up with what?

[Sixtolezcano]

The6 still have 158 games to play.

You mean the MLB needs to step up!

Why should Mark A. have to go in severe debt when the Yankees, Dodgers, Mets, Cubs, etc. don't have to go in debt to retain/sign stars?

This year's trade deadline should be eventful.

[Sixtolezcano]

2002 all over again?

MLB cares about one thing: “ how much money are we making and how can we make more of it.”

Competitive balance is only something they care about to the extent that it interferes with their ability to make more money.

Gonna be tough to win games when you need to score 8 runs to feel good.

William Contreras, you are a Yankee.

Yup, we're gonna be sellers.  Contreras is the only guy other than Turang another team will give us a decent return on.

I hear ya'!

That's why fans/owners/etc. need to shut the whole thing down until the league becomes fair!  It's a joke right now, and has been for far too long.

Boycott the MLB!

The Big Leagues are the Rig Leagues.

Make MLB fair again.

[yfinn6]

Man, only a few more dink and dunk ground balls and we might have gotten a run. Oh well. 

[willie key]

This team sucks.    We don’t even have 5 starting pitchers for the season

0-4 and counting.

An injection of capital into the mlb roster. If you are declining 5 million dollars options on starting pitching you are not playing the same game as others.

Percentage varies a little depending on what source you use, but all of the teams you listed spend roughly 60% or more of their revenue on salaries.  The Mets over 80.  The Brewers are around 41 percent of revenue on salaries….

Crew need submarine bats
