MLB: ***2026 MLB Season Thread***

[NoCreativity]

Toronto had every opportunity to win this series and they just couldn't do it. Feel bad for their fanbase, that's not one they'll get over anytime soon.

Will Smith from the Dodgers looks (and even sounds) like comedian Brian Regan.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Well now we can all gear up for another Dodgers World Series for 2026.

Maybe this will do the country some good as they can show live shots around my city as it celebrates that show it’s totally peaceful and happy.

Surprising amount of non official Dodgers fireworks displays in my area, watching on my dog walk.

I’m like 8 miles away and it’s so quiet like every night but somebody is doing fireworks.

The average LA Saturday night is so calm compared to like Chicago or any east coast city.

LA is not Philly. They'll be fine.

No exaggeration I bet Des Moines is more wild right now. Bars typically close at 11 per lack of drinkers.

I drank a beer with Bob Gibson once.

What a fabulous game 7

Each team only won 1 home game. Toronto lost because it failed to hit sac flies when it needed to.

Nike used this song for about a second then did the switch up:

Congrats to L.A. They have the best that money can buy.

Dodgers 2025 payroll: $ 350 000 000

Blue Jays 2025 payroll: $ 255 000 000

Devastated?

Not on your life. It's just another g.d. game determined by zeroes.

Yup. It’s what makes MLB less watchable by the year.

I heard the announcers comment that the dodgers spent a billion dollars on pitching. And the Blue Jays are considered a wealthy club compared to what the pohlads spent.

Tear gas deployed on baseball fans in chaotic World Series aftermath

The Los Angeles Police Department announced the authorization of less than lethal munitions in the early hours of Sunday morning after celebrating Dodgers fans got too rowdy.

I'd like a salary cap but I want a floor as well. Tired of these owners like the Pirates, A's, Marlins, etc. who don't spend anything to try and improve their Club and just pocket the rev. share money.

 

[FLYINGCYCLONE]

Non-baseball person here…who are we rooting for? Feels like Dodgers are evil for spending money but Ohtani might be the greatest baseball player ever until we grow them in a lab. I’m good either way, underdog or writing history.

Ya Ohtani is the best baseball player in 100 years. He is a great hitter and a great pitcher at the same time. Can he do both in the same game for very long? The World Series is 7 games that is most rules are out the window. We saw a couple play that could hardly walk. And starting pitchers turn into relievers.
But , and I do not know any details there are a couple rules just for Ohtani. He was allowed more time to get to the mound and be ready to pitch. The big one , he has the largest contract in baseball and ALOT of it is paid after he is out of baseball. So a lot of his pay check is outside the level that MLB charges a tax on teams if their yearly payroll is above a certain number. Someone correct my comments because I am not sure on the detailed.
