TV execs are shitting themselves they’re going to have to market Milwaukee vs Cleveland/Tampa Bay

Which I don’t get. They wouldn’t have a problem marketing the Packers-Browns. lol, just kidding the Browns will never be in a Super Bowl.

Damn we’re really catching strays in the baseball subreddit. Thought I was safe. At least we have some promising young kids on the team.

Yalls 2 rookie WRs and Fannin look solid just need to get a QB worth a salt.

u/Lukey_Jangs2 New York Yankees 1h ago

They have two pro bowl QBs on their roster!

Preferably not a rapist, I feel like I shouldn't have to say that. But Browns things

Browns gonna catch strays everywhere. They're the browns!

u/CanYouGuessWhoIAm 1h ago

Only reason the Browns can't catch strays is because they keep getting intercepted.

Superbowl is much less regional. 16 vs 162 games, people can reasonably follow all nfl teams.

1 team’s baseball season is more than half of ALL nfl games played in a year

They changed it to 17 games a few years ago

At this point, the Packers aren't making any superbowls either. Let's just move the 49ers to the AFC

If the dodgers were in the world series I wasn't planning on tuning in.

With it being 2 completely neutral teams in my eyes, Im actually excited to watch now.

Same, but our viewership is a drop in the bucket compared to fact that the 12th largest country in the world probably won't be sticking around for Cleveland baseball lol

Are you suggesting that Brayan Rocchio doesn't have a huge following in Japan?

u/northerncal San Francisco Giants 1h ago

They're going to be missing out. Their loss

u/StandYourGroundhog Toronto Blue Jays 1h ago

Idk tbh I'm personally more interested in watching the Dodgers lose than like Tampa or Milwaukee win

I'm happy for it to happen now though

u/jimihenderson New York Mets 24m ago

people love hate watching. if/once the dodgers are eliminated there will be a ton of people who say "eh fuck the world series, i have no stake anymore". it's an unfortunate reality of sports

u/Easy_Money_ San Francisco Giants 1h ago

Unfortunately I will always hatewatch the Dodgers

1

u/bruhstevenson San Francisco Giants 22m ago

Yeah not gonna lie, I’m a pretty casual baseball fan for teams around the league, but the two teams I watch the most are the Giants, who I keep track of and follow, and the Dodgers in the postseason to hatewatch them. The dodgers are great television.

If it's Cleveland, they will call in Swift & Kelce to attend for the ratings boost.

Two teams who have literally never won before, or one team who has never won before and one with a 70-year draught. It's not hard, but instead the media will write hand-wringing articles about how the matchup is "bad for baseball" (and what they mean is, bad for the media and their bottom line).

u/fponee Milwaukee Brewers 1h ago

*Bad for the broadcasting talent that thinks everything outside of New York/Los Angeles/Chicago/Miami/San Francisco/San Diego is an apocalyptic shithole.

u/Easy_Money_ San Francisco Giants 1h ago

Swap Seattle for Miami and you’ll have listed the seven cities that 90% of sports pundits think are apocalyptic shitholes

u/CaliKindalife Los Angeles Dodgers 1h ago

They will be fine. NBA did it in 2025 with OKC and Indiana.

u/dquizzle St. Louis Cardinals 2h ago edited 1h ago

I don’t get this. Anyone who is a baseball fan and not a Dodger fan should be loving this.

I hope the TV executives get butt cancer. Give the people what they want!

u/Any_Application7786 Los Angeles Dodgers 2h ago

As a dodgers fan if the rays win can’t you just market it as a FIRST TIME WINNER

1

u/TheReadMenace San Diego Padres 1h ago

I know MLB would hate it, but I would love to see it. Guaranteed that someone who hasn’t won it will get one.

Yeah I know Cleveland has one but I doubt they feel like they do when it’s from the Truman administration

u/Colrun99 Los Angeles Dodgers 1h ago

As a dodgers fan I’m sad it’s going this way but as a baseball sicko brewers vs rays (or guards but I have an inkling it’ll be tighter with the rays) would be an incredible series to watch. Unless the brewers keep playing like this and just steamroll.

u/Beast_Modular New York Yankees 3h ago

Milwaukee vs Cleveland would be so money. Sorry Rays but no one cares about you

u/Dr-McLuvin 3h ago

There must be more than one rays fan because you’re getting downvoted.

u/book_of_armaments Tampa Bay Devil Rays 2h ago

There's that, and then there's that everyone from every fanbase hates Yankees fans.

Just use all the bombs the Brewers hit on the Dodgers as promo material
