MLB 2025 World Series

Very happy the Astors and Phillies both blew 3-2 leads at home. Think the World Series is worth watching no matter the teams.

I wonder if this is the first championship series/game in any of the four major U.S. sports where the two teams are named after their state instead of their city. Arizona vs. Texas. This is the only interesting tidbit I can think of for this series.....and it's not even interesting. 

I'll be rooting for Texas. Never won the World Series and it's always seemed to me like they have a pretty passionate fanbase in spite of that. 

i'm rooting for the Rangers as well.

Will this be the lowest rated World Series?

I am loving this WS.  Corbin Caroll and Alec Thomas are awesome.
Jung and Seager are awesome.  Adolis if he is still hot too oh and that Carter kid.

I've been on the Marte train for a while.  Soooo underrated.

Seriously, check his stats last couple of years.

But the league wanted US to win! And if we make a lot of noise at the games, we will definitely win!

As a baseball fan, I'll definitely watch the series. I'm not really going to be rooting for anyone, though. Just want to see a good series.

Yes and I don't think it will even be close.

Which is sad because there are some damn good players on those teams.

So how in the hell did a team like the Dallas Cowboys, a central state, get so much love?  Because they won?

Primarily because they were on national tv every single week for multiple decades and everyone knew them. Most people outside of Phoenix and Arlington do not know anything about these two teams.

I wasnt sure why the Cowboys were but that makes sense.

Its a shame nobody knows them.  When Pitt made it to the playoffs I was excited to see McCutchen play but was a short series.

Its games like these that people can start liking other players.

I get what you are saying, but everybody always wants a major market team in the finals. Yes, they draw the ratings due to their respective markets, but if you are in the league you are in the league and should have a chance to compete for the championship. Otherwise get rid of all the small market teams and have a NY/LA/CHI premier league.
i think it is good for all of the major leagues to have all markets represented and have a chance to win.

***Except the Phoenix Coyotes and possibly the Oakland A’s which are both detrimental to their leagues lol

Dont disagree, but the teams are mostly boring.  Each has one player who seems exciting, even to a pretty engaged fan.  

ONE each????

come on.

Wobert, gimme your take!  

I think everyone, except maybe Eva, on the d-bags is exciting.

the rangers are about half exciting.

sorry neither team has a guy who looks like a meth cook.

Haha.  I don't care what they look like, although the the description is accurate.

I’m more than happy to finally have a World Series where I’m not rooting passionately for one team or vehemently against one. I just want to see 6 or 7 games of good, fun baseball.  That said I do hope Tommy Pham goes 0-26 with 15 strikeouts lol.

same. you hate pham because you’re a cubs fan and he’s an ex-cardinal? I don’t like the guy either, party because he said he’d “pimp slap” my boy joc pederson (over a fantasy football beef). I haven’t even decided who I’m gonna root for….mosty likely bochy’s rangers.

He did slap him!
Pham is a funny dude.

I hope Dusty enjoys retirement. He did a great job in Houston. 

I also hope that Joe Espada is promoted to manager of the Astros.

Not sure about the lowest but yeah it will be up there (or down there) as one of the lowest watched WS. Don't feel like googling it but anyone know the least watched WS ever? I would have to think it would be in the 80's/90's maybe?

edit: oh wow the past 3 world series were the least watched WS. So yeah this one will probably definitely be the least watched one ever.

Johnny Abruzzo

I don't think they capture streaming and such in those numbers. Or maybe nobody watches outside the home markets. Besides last year I've barely watched them probably since the Cubs one. Anyway I definitely won't be watching the first two games since I'll be at MMJ shows bitches!

So it will be old school ways,Bochy vs. Full analytics guy in Lovullo.
