    It’s amazing how quiet this thread gets once all the shitty teams have been eliminated. Way different than the nba thread.

    If they did those Pornhub search maps for various media occupations, the state of MLB Announcers would say "base hits against the shift"

    The Braves have the most active MLB thread on here and all their fans post in there every night. There aren't a ton of casual fans who are dialed into baseball games on football weekends.

    Rosario has missed 2 cookies this plate appearance.

    That’s my point. Obviously not an earth shattering discovery but the nba is so much more a “I’m a fan of the nba” league whereas mlb is essentially a “I’m a barves fan” league.

    I believe you generally see when you compare local and national ratings for the NBA and MLB. NBA does way better national numbers but MLB crushes it locally.

    Just an absurd move with the way lefty relievers have dominated this lineup in this series.
