Houston..looking at.biber..of Cleveland..
Why..don't they..sell.there.pitching.away..
Stupid..media people...

[ulmax]

Per Sportscenter:

This will be the first time in SEVEN years that the World Series will not feature either the Los Angeles Dodgers or the Houston Astros

So six years in a row the big spenders were in the world series, what a bunch of dumasses not doing used car jerrys 54% plan.

Now other teams that spend money are there. But Jerry knows better and the fans are just stupid for not trusting him!

 

[Msfann]

"That 54% figure is particularly interesting in the context of the two teams that made it to this year's Fall Classic. The Texas Rangers have won 54% of their games just three times in the past 10 seasons and only won 37% of their games as recently as 2021. The Arizona Diamondbacks won 54% of their games just once in the past 10 seasons and had just a .321 winning percentage in 2021."
"The only MLB fan base that has never tasted a World Series, however, has no interest in patience or a sustainably good roster. Seattle has seen a division rival win the American League pennant in 5 of the last 7 postseasons, something the Emerald City has never experienced."

Rangers' World Series run reinforces Mariners' need to invest to compete

Fair enough, I don't give stanton enough credit for the situation . But if this is really coming from the ownership the team is more doomed than even I believed.

Check out this article that really gets into the decline in MLB viewership since the 70s. Even more profound than I though. Shocking really.

The article title has "World Series" in it of course, but it's more about all of MLB. Worth a read or glance, IMO.
