Dallas (#5) is a pretty big market. If only NY and LA are considered big markets that is only 2 teams.
I am openly hoping for an Ohtani gambling and Judge PED suspension just to avoid a Yankees/Dodgers World Series.
It's going to be doggers vs yanks, just like how Manfred wished and prayed for the last 10 years. He had the redox vs doggers years ago that no one really watched, why else would he ignore the redox cheating also...now his wet dream is so close to coming true again. Even if those things comes out, it'll be swept under the rug...he did it for ohtani once and he'll do it again.
Ohtani is the draw. Baseball continues to be a very regional/local sport… including if it’s involving bigger markets like the Yankees. Yankee fans watch all their games, but that’s not a national audience.
Y'all really think the MLB would rather have Yankee vs Dodger instead of Mets vs Guardian? Are Guardians a new expansion team from Canada? I've never heard of them before, but getting Canadian viewers watching baseball is critical for MLB.
even the best of the best, clase struggle at the most crucial moment. baseball has too much randomness.
Apparently Clase been choking in this years playoffs after a dominant regular season. But the previous pitcher got the 1st 2 outs and then walks Soto on 4 pitches. Even if Soto gets a hr, they would have had the lead. Why was he afraid??
Just had to double check I wasn’t going insane when I heard the broadcast say Soto was a finalist for the gold glove. What an absolute joke lmao.
Momentum shift???? Crazy how both closers choked in this game. Gaurdians with big 2 out hits multiple times.
Lol I can't even imagine losing a game in that fashion and would be so hilarious if Cleveland grabs the momentum and wins it.
