(2:35) Blue Jays fans’ hype for the Dodgers series didn’t last long. And the game ended with Miguel Rojas in the 9th, on the mound.

(16:05) Craig Breslow’s comments were not made for the fans that he should have been addressing.

(19:28) Willson Contreras is tired of being hit by the Brewers, and even made a threat if it happens again. Should MLB do something about his comments?
(33:18) Meanwhile also in Boston, Alex Cora called out Roman Anthony’s defense with his comments. Is that the right move?

(36:03) José Ramírez is now Cleveland’s all-time leader in games played. He’s been a constant for a franchise that has been reluctant to maximize the roster.

(41:41) James Wood continues his rise to stardom in Washington. What’s the plan for the Nationals though?

(43:27) The Rockies saw a dip in attendance in their home opener, but Troy Johnston believes the team is on the up-and-up, and the city has more support than Miami.

(46:20) Heading into the season, the Mariners have the most excitement around them since the days of Ichiro. Should they be concerned with the slow start?
