00:00the world series is now set everybody it is the one that everyone was waiting for
00:04yankees dodgers oh that's right no it's not it's the guardians no no it's not them either
00:09no it's the rays and brewers in the world series two teams that have never won a world series
00:18in their lives in their franchise history uh and the rays win the pennant they beat the guardians
00:23they win three games in a row uh they were down two to one in that series on the road
00:27they went
00:27three straight win it at home tropicana field was absolutely incredible uh on monday but it's
00:34brewers way brewers race it's the you know either way either way we go here john baseball is going
00:41to crown a first-time champion isn't that so intriguing to you right before the cba we get
00:45two small market teams duking it out for their first world series title isn't that so exciting
00:52if you tell me you love baseball in its purest form you couldn't have found a better world series
01:02and no one's gonna watch it oh come on man okay this is why i say you run your mouth
01:09about why
01:10certain teams don't get in why certain teams don't win and then you don't watch them you want the
01:17cinderella to advance to the final four but then you don't want to see them get mopped by 30 yes
01:23this is you're you're about to watch four or five games of it in the world series in major league
01:29baseball what the brewers did this year was awesome and tampa bay right now looks like they're on fire
01:35to the equivalent of what milwaukee was doing so this is going to be a very competitive series
01:40between two teams and very small markets and they has now become a regional sport people in los angeles
01:47will not be watching this people in new york will not be watching this in large numbers these are
01:53massive baseball cities with massive baseball teams that only watch their team this isn't football
02:02where you will watch whatever's on like we did tonight this isn't basketball where depending on which
02:07players on television you will watch it you don't even know who's playing in this like ask the average
02:16los angeles sports fan name three tampa bay rays they couldn't no and they could only name you three
02:23brewers because they just got swept by them but okay so so john don't you think this is just a
02:29problem
02:30with how baseball is marketed though like like why like this shouldn't be an indictment on baseball
02:36oh you know this shouldn't be an indictment on those teams like you know it's everyone's saying like
02:42nobody's gonna like you're saying nobody's gonna watch this but this is yeah this is pure baseball at its
02:47highest form it is so like the mlb the mlb itself should be at fault right shouldn't they be at
02:52fault for
02:53not marketing this because adam silver and as much as much grief as i've given adam silver over the years
02:58he made a great point and everyone was complaining well why oh we don't want the thunder and pacers in
03:03the finals
03:03no one's gonna watch that and adam silver was like well wait a minute if it was packers stealers you
03:09guys would watch it those those are those are markets that are like and they're not considered
03:14big markets but you guys would watch it because they have huge fan bases so like what's the difference
03:19here here's the but here's the problem with your argument by game seven that thunder pacer series
03:26brought you to the television but why can't this one it it can i again it can't it won't start
03:35that
03:36way and the difference between the two sports is basketball players are more identifiable because
03:41they're more they're more melted into the culture of american sports sure there are no baseball players
03:48that are melted into the culture of american sports that's just i don't make those rules i'm not in
03:55charge of the culture baseball should have done this and and you're right this is a baseball issue
04:02they don't put their they don't put their best players in positions to be seen in high profile
04:08moments but even with that said these this that wouldn't have fixed this either because neither of
04:15these teams have high profile players outside of miserowski now he might be able to get you to a
04:21television but that's it but when but the thing is when he gets you to the television everybody else
04:27has to shine to get you to come back and this is what goes back to what you were talking
04:31about with
04:31the nba when it came thunder and pacers i felt the same way i was like oh man this ain't
04:37gonna be
04:38this ain't really gonna be watchable but after about a half of that i went oh wait we might have
04:43something here well you know why because we love basketball though so like we still tuned in we were
04:47just like let's see what happens and after all these incredible games that it goes to seven
04:52obviously we're much more tuned in but if you're a baseball fan it's not like there's no like there's
04:58just dodger fans or just yankee fans in new york and la there are baseball fans across the nation
05:04these were the two best teams in the in the mlb it was the number one seed in the nl
05:10and the number
05:10one seed in the american league this isn't two underdog six seeds that got through the the juggernauts to
05:17get obviously the brewers went through the dodgers they were the higher seed than the dodgers
05:20obviously i understand where people are coming from there but these were the two best teams in
05:25baseball and they're meeting in the world series
05:27you
