FOH with the prospect talk like they didn’t just pay Kyle Tucker $60M a year to be their fifth‑best hitter. The Dodgers are the best team in baseball because their payroll sits in its own tax bracket, miles above almost every other franchise, full stop. They have unlimited financial resources, so they’re not forced for trade prospects as much as other teams. When they do move someone good, it doesn’t matter. They can cover any mistake with another massive, deferred contract without blinking. The only meaningful difference between them and other well‑run teams is the budget. They’re the Rays with a stack of blank checks. They’ve drafted and developed very few true stars in the last decade; they bought the rest. Any conversation that ignores their spending is disingenuous at best. Stop acting like they’re some feel‑good story built on plucky underdogs and homegrown talent.

@TCN819 @NeilpDo @Buster_ESPN @ChrisRose Completely valid. Think also at a certain point, the GM’s performance in assembling a team that underperforms should also be called into question. People are quick to blame a manager but not as quick to blame a GM, which I don’t understand

@dramos43 @NeilpDo @Buster_ESPN @ChrisRose I agree. But we have fallen into sloppy and uninspired (this puts things *very* lightly) for 90 games now (and just awful - 5th worst record during this time).

Best line I heard at Dodger Stadium Tuesday, from @ChrisRose, about the Mets and the speculation about Carlos Mendoza's job being in jeopardy. "They're not losing because of the playcalling." No. The Mets are 26th in runs, 27th in OBP, and 26th in SLG.

@TCN819 @NeilpDo @Buster_ESPN @ChrisRose The issue isn’t that they’re helpless to what happens. It’s answering the question of just HOW MUCH impact do they have when their star players are not performing? When teams play sloppy, uninspired baseball that’s one thing. When they just aren’t performing that’s more nuanced

@NeilpDo @Buster_ESPN @ChrisRose The “well he doesn’t hit himself” narrative is so ridiculous. As if a manager has 0 impact and is useless. Why even waste the $ on one if they are helpless to what happens?

@AasonJudge_1992 @jimrome Dodgers made the playoffs and won the division every year (except 2021) the entire ten years before he even got there. Cope and seethe

@jimrome If Ohtani declines, the Dodgers' dominance will definitely decrease significantly, and I can't wait for that to happen

The Mets have lost 6 straight and been shut out in 3 of those losses. But go ahead and accuse the Dodgers of buying rings. The Mets can't even buy a RUN.

@Rangers Will never feel anything but love for #5

In a city full of stars, ours shines the brightest. #AllForTX

@ChadMoriyama Extremely on-brand for this hell hole of an app.

It is perhaps fitting that every post "debating" this has millions of views but the one with factual/objective information has like comparably barely interaction. x.com/tangotiger/sta…

The quotes to this are an intelligence/bias test at this point, simple as that. The rules ARE being applied to him and there IS no inherent change from when pitchers were hitting. These are the facts. If you have an issue with this, talk about it with a therapist, man.

@AlliAlliG Just take the series L with some dignity and keep it pushing. See you guys next year

Not to beat a dead horse and invite more men into my mentions but Ohtani literally sits in the dugout in between at bets every other time he plays and you're telling me he's so precious he needs extra time to warm up? Nah.

@Isabelg1945 @THEREAL_DV @AM570LASports It’s his loss and his choice of how to grieve

@THEREAL_DV @AM570LASports He's in the lineup but he should honestly be over there already take some time off idk

Miguel Rojas told us his father died of a sudden heart attack yesterday. The funeral in Venezuela is happening today he said that’s the custom. Rojas isn’t sure if he will leave the team after today’s game.

@LeonaEadie123 @TalkinBaseball_ You guys are pure ass 😭 lmfaooo

@LeonaEadie123 @TalkinBaseball_ Again, don’t take 2 billion to beat the Rockies and White Sox but here you are losing anyways. Enjoy the incoming ass whooping, it will be nice to reminisce

Dodgers sweep the Nationals and improve to 7-2 Every other NL West team is below .500 to start the season

@afroman82137027 @MLBONFOX @Ken_Rosenthal @DTrainMLB You know what. I can understand that

@dramos43 @MLBONFOX @Ken_Rosenthal @DTrainMLB Drinking away the pain 😔

"Is a World Series hangover real?" @Ken_Rosenthal asks @DTrainMLB and Eric Karros after the Blue Jays lost by twelve runs to the Dodgers tonight

@LeonaEadie123 @TalkinBaseball_ Second best actually

@dramos43 @TalkinBaseball_

@LeonaEadie123 @TalkinBaseball_ Doesn’t take a billion dollars to beat the white sox or Rockies but the Jays can’t even do that

@TalkinBaseball_ Imagine having to spend $2 billion on a roster in order to win a World Series after decades of failure to! “We can’t seem to win this thing! Let’s spend $2 billion and ruin baseball for the entire world … that should get it done!”

@dylanohernandez Thinking about how on opening day, Mo and Stephen were talking about how they are in fact NOT old. One ounce of research could’ve prevented this headline. Lol

What happened to Mookie Betts today was a reminder of an unpleasant reality: The Dodgers are old. nypost.com/2026/04/04/spo…

@joshgitt1987 @junii_3325 @BillShaikin It does answer your question right in the graphic man 😭

@junii_3325 @BillShaikin I'm literally asking?

Thoughts?

@BossNass15 @McKenzieMNelson @KSHB41 Just because buffoons from those cities over blow everything doesn’t mean rational people in other cities do

@McKenzieMNelson @KSHB41 He’s lucky this is the soft KC media that expects nothing from the Royals. If this was New York or Philly or Boston this would define his entire career.

#Royals: Carter Jensen overslept and was scratched from today's lineup. Here's what Vinnie Pasquantino had to say about the situation after the game. @KSHB41

@AdamThaSportFan @BaseballWRLD_ Him and Vlad. The last two position player debuts I felt I truly had to tune in for.

@jblack22360 @Shuavecito @FoulTerritoryTV @BaseballAmerica Dudes a 2x WS MVP and he hardly gets talked about. He’s a damn legend. Yeah he’s got health issues but so do many of the greats.

@Shuavecito @FoulTerritoryTV @BaseballAmerica Facts. Love having him on my team but even winning the WS he didn’t get the love he deserves. One of the best since he’s been playing.

The top 10 prospects in baseball, 10 years ago. 1. Corey Seager 2. Byron Buxton 3. Yoan Moncada 4. Julio Urias 5. Lucas Giolito 6. J.P. Crawford 7. Alex Reyes 8. Orlando Arcia 9. Trea Turner 10. Joey Gallo (Via: @BaseballAmerica)

@DaEncinoMan @Howard_Cole Anyone watching Mookie’s at bats knows this isn’t the case. Regardless of any results

@Howard_Cole For sure. They’re elite and back to back champs but there’s still a worry that Mookie is still not hitting. Freddie has lost pop overall. Teo looks old

The Dodgers offense is still broken. 2 years of bad ABs and guys under achieving offensively. The pitching staff has carried this team for some time. They should have replaced the hitting coaches
