Some Players are never Happy.

That’s Amaury News and Commentary

By Amaury Pi Gonzalez

While in Sacramento A’s pitcher Luis Severino complains about Sutter Health Park the home of his 2025 ballclub for this whole season and maybe for the next two years, plus also the park so far has not brought him the victories he was expecting.

Meanwhile, 80 miles away at Oracle Park in San Francisco the home of the Giants, shortstop Willy Adames was not happy with the crowd at Oracle Park during the last game Sunday against the Dodgers which the Giants lost 5-2.

Adames said (quote) “too many Dodgers fans”. And although he acknowledged the energy of the crowd and said it felt like a playoff atmosphere, he also said he “would prefer a stronger presence for the Giants fans”.

Oracle Park was sold out during these games, and the Sunday game, which was not televised on their regular Comcast Bay Area channel, aired nationwide on MLB Network. It looked like there were more fans in blue than orange.

It is impossible to say precisely how many were Dodgers fans; tickets are counted the game was sold out at 41,048, but what is not counted is which fan is rooting for which team.

But that is part of the fun of baseball. You buy a ticket, and you could be dressed as a chicken, you still can root for whatever team you want to root for. The Los Angeles Dodgers had their longest losing streak since September with a seven-game losing streak in July 2025.

This skid is their worst since the 11-game losing streak they experienced in 2017. However, the Dodgers lost the first game of this three-game series but won two games and left the Golden Gate still in first place, now six games ahead of the Giants, who dropped to third place.

Most people making the money these MLB players make would be more than happy. But Major League players, are privileged and spoiled souls, they travel and stay at the Ritz Carlton and other 5-star luxury hotels, travel charter, everything is done for them, they get $150 just for per-diem, for each day they stay away from home.

When you go on a trip you pack your bag(s) at home and you do not see that luggage until you arrive at the hotel and is already inside your room for a series of games on that city. Everything is done for you, your team traveling secretary can accommodate sometimes for complimentary tickets on the road for family and acquaintances.

I know because I have traveled with team charters. So it is truly a privilege life, and sometimes the more you get the more spoiled you become, and that is they case for some players in Major League Baseball, that even complaining of the fans at home that aren’t even your fans, kind of bothers you. Such in life in the Big Leagues.
