God forbid a large market team fans think Cleveland is a contender.

MLB discourse if we win the WS: “does the MLB suck?”

[u/Bard_Class → u/shibbledoop]

I was there in 2023 when my Dbacks and the Rangers made it. Non stop articles about how bad the ratings would be, why expanding the Wild Card was a bad idea, how every series should be 7-games, how the team with the best record in the regular season should get a bragging rights trophy. Non. Stop.

Brace yourself for this year if the Guards and Brewers make it. The MLB media will not care about the teams playing but everything else around it.

"Low payroll team fighting to make the playoffs wins World Series, salaries don't matter and the Dodgers aren't as good as we thought.... More below".

• The Athletic

"Wow, 2 teams nobody gives a shit about playing for a hunk of metal. Big whoop."

[u/ButWhatIsADog → u/ThisIsPureTrash]

The ratings will suffer 😞
