How Much of the World Series Will You Watch?


Bahama O's Fan

I probably won't watch much, but that is really because I don't want either team to win. It isn't so much that I have anything against the Dodgers, but they just won the WS 4 years ago.  Yes it was the COVID year, but it is still a championship.  And they won NL pennants in 2017 and 2018.  So it isn't like they have a long suffering fanbase to appease like the Rangers last year.  I generally root for fanbases that have gone the longest without titles, which means I was hoping Cleveland or the Mets out of the final four. But we are stuck with the Yankees (who I will never root for) and the Dodgers.   

It is a no win.

I have no love for either team, so I’m not watching a single pitch. That aside, as I’m a Maryland native, it is in my DNA to clearly hate the Yankees much more than LA.

I’ll hope for a Dodgers sweep to get us into the off season ASAP and start work on the O’s 2025 roster.

Same here.

Pitching around three guys is a hard game plan to execute.

The guy who is 5-for-31 and little October success you maybe can attack, but good luck.

I think the Judge narratives will be a little more intense than the Shohei ones.    Shohei may never lose another division title the rest of his career.    Judge may struggle to win another one if Soto leaves.

I think this is Judge's first time back to Dodger Stadium since the 2022 toe injury.

    • Gray has a full no trade, and has expressed his desire to stay in St Louis. It's doubtful that he's going to be traded.   Edited to say that I see you mentioned the same thing in a later post.
    • The standard before was just Eduardo Rodriguez, Daniel Cabrera, Luis Matos, Sidney Ponson, and Schoop, for like 50 years. 🤣. Koby Perez is doing alright.  Also, I count Felix Bautista as an Oriole DSL signing. It doesn’t matter to me that he originally signed with another team and played a bit. 
    • I'd feel a lot better about him if he had a strong 2nd half like Snell did, after suffering early from the weird late contract thing. Unfortunately, JM's halves were pretty similar.  That said, his 2024 does present as a pretty clear aberration when looking at his career. So it will be up to scouting and data analysis to determine if there's a bounceback in him. Seems like an expensive dice roll to me. 
    • Yet another reason why baseball has to get rid of deferred contracts and have a salary cap. Ohtani’s contract was bad for everybody but the Dodgers and Ohtani. It’s bad for California, our country, and let’s be frank here: bad for the sport.
    • I know everyone from the Diamondbacks is doing their best not to distress their asset any further, but Passan's piece this morning digesting the GM Meetings is I think the first big-time reporter reporting he is on the block with ARZ paying some of his too high salary down. He is a Rohrschach as the 2024 was genuinely atrocious.    I'm inclined to give him a grace as overexertion in October 2023 plus the weird contract scenario was I think a bridge too far.    He was one of my favorites at the July 2023 deadline that became Flaherty, and I think it screams Elias target that he'll be on a 1-year term in 2025. Jordan Montgomery, left-handed starter: The Diamondbacks want to move him and will eat some of his $22.5 million salary to do so. He's near the top of the list of players likeliest to get dealt after a rough 2024, and he'll head to his new team with plenty to prove as another go-around at free agency beckons
    • Yes, great players are always helpful. They improve your margin for error.  
    • Why would you say that after the year EBJ just had? He is my Mullins replacement.
