Too early but ... what players have trade value that will be FA in 1-2 years????

Asking for a friend

Getting booed off the field in the home,opener is never good.

We don’t know what percentage of the revenue is spent on players. We don’t know how much the Brewer organization is making.  Unless you can point me to good information. I have searched for it.

Also the “we have better results to show than the Mariners” probably isn’t going to apply to this season.

There are bad starts to the season and then there’s this…

It is nightmarish.

Not that it's an excuse for this game but this ump has been complete *******. Squeezing the Brewers all day. Anderson had 3 strikes called balls in his walk against Garcia.

[yourout]

Wonder what the worst home opener is in Brewer history?

[yfinn6]

I'm so sick of these guys saying reinforcements are coming. 

[adambr2]

I make no light of Uecker’s passing, he is a legend who will always be dearly missed, but part of me is glad he isn’t having to witness this monstrosity beginning to the 2025 season.

I'm only looking at gamecast at work - but are the umps squeezing Bubic as much as they have some of the Brewers pitchers??

If so, why are they not generating anything offensively. It seems like the Brewers hitters are sleep walking. Or by the sounds of the posts here - some are trying to get 3 wins in one game. Maybe they are pressing too hard.

I don't know this is about the worst start to a season I can recall.

Are we sure that this isn’t the ghost of Bob terrorizing this team for some unknown reason?

[folly412]

Bauers available to pitch today, or has he been overworked out of the pen?  Good grief.

BA and Rock are on the Brewers payroll so what else are they gonna say?

I mean, he has always had once heck of a sense of humor, but this would be something else.

I don't know.  Often mediocre players make pretty good coaches.

Rickie was an all-star.... Mediocre doesn't work for him

The very first game in 1970 was 12-0. 

I was there to witness that one. The fact that it was good to just have a team cushioned some of the blow. 

[Pugger]

Those young folks did s nice job on " God Bless America".

[edfunderburk]

So far …

0-4

-32 run differential 

that is alarming 

[titletownking]

Pitiful and Spineless start to the year. Hoskins, garbage, Contreras, awful, Yelich, puke, Chourio, woof. Where is the professional pride? Three straight uncompetitive whoopings

The only reason he was an All-Star is Prince picked him.

[adambr2]

This team has a negative 32 run differential after 43 innings of the season.

I know baseball has been around forever, so it’s hard not to think there have been worse starts in MLB history, but how long has it been?

[yourout]

As the saying goes you can't win a division in April but you can lose one.

I believe that was for the home run derby.

[BruisedCrew]

First hard hit ball of the game for the Brewers.
