The six worst teams at the end of the season have to join the Coastal Plain League and play banana ball until they can win a championship there. They rejoin MLB and the current worst MLB team takes their spot in banana ball.
When Banana Ball sells better than an MLB game and Rob Manfred Jr announces that Major League Stadiums are no longer allowed to host a Banana game. Owners revolt, purchase their own Banana team and MLB is officially dead.

Or at least separate trophies for different achievements. Like each league gets a championship trophy for most wins and then playoffs get their own winner. Then we can have a World Series between the two leagues so there is a chance for a treble
yankees (self-explanatory), braves (racist), white sox (no one gives a shit about them), astros (cheaters), indians (also racist), brewers (a brewers player slept with my wife)
Hey! Fan of the other team here, but I come in peace lol. Wow, y'all played a good game, but man, that definitely ended in a way that was uniquely typical of one of our teams. Your young player is really something and definitely going to give us trouble for years. Y'all are gonna be really scary next year, and I'll be rooting for y'all then (except when y'all play us!). That umpire, though, right?

Baseball died in Cleveland today. You are gonna lose a lot of die hard fans over this move. Been a fan since the 70’s and this is a slap in the face to us true die hard fans. I won’t spend another dime on this team.

Angels and White Sox are both out because their cities already have a team (and they suck (and nobody gives a shit about the White Sox), the Athletics are out because they don’t have a stadium, the Rays have a shitty stadium, Coors field messes with data so they’re cut (and they are terrible with no promise of improvement), and the Marlins because fuck Florida.

Oh, hey, Padres fans. I'm Dr. Santos. Apologies that I haven't been here much at my West Coast office. I spent most of the season in New York, and let me tell you, the Mets and Yankees have really... Never mind. That's a HIPPA violation. Have a seat. This is a safe space where you can open up and talk about your feelings. I understand that White Sox fans referred you. Yeah, long-time clients. On your intake form, you wrote that you suspect you're doubting your abilities. What else? You feel like a fraud? This sounds like a classic case of imposter syndrome. It's extremely common among high achievers. Your roster is stacked with superstars. You had the third highest payroll in baseball. On opening day, you had the second highest odds to win the World Series, according to fan graphs. Yet you wound out outside of the postseason picture. I know just the thing. You need to decompress. I'm going to prescribe a four-month vacation starting October second. And remember, I'm always available on Zoom while you're in Borra Borra. Yeah, it's just $495 for a 30-minute session.

I never wanted to breed with anyone more than I want to with Mrs. Met. That perfect, curvy body. Those bountiful breasts. The child bearing hips of a literal goddess. It honestly fucking hurts knowing that I'll never mate with her, pass my genes through her, and have her birth a set of perfect offspring. I'd do fucking ANYTHING for the chance to get Mrs. Met pregnant. A N Y T H I N G. And the fact that I can't is quite honestly too much to fucking bear. Why would the Mets create something so perfect? To fucking tantalize us? Fucking laugh in our faces?! Honestly guys, I just fucking can't anymore. Fuck.

I can get behind this for sure. How about we swap out the Orioles and the Giants though. They have the same color scheme so I don't think anybody would notice.

the Tampa Bay Rays are the definition of a poverty franchise, known for their comically-low attendance and inability to sell out a stadium. they are among the largest revenue-sharing recipients, meaning they take a shit-ton of money from the player’s union (who have actually filed grievances against them for not managing that money properly). think of a 35-year old man living in their moms’ basement, and spending money on video games instead of getting a job. that’s a good comparison to describe what the Rays are to the rest of the league. if the MLB had a more cutthroat business model, teams like the Rays would have moved or been disbanded ages ago, instead of feeding off of the popular teams like a parasite feeds on its host. the Rays are utterly useless, and irrelevant. The Rays are the least essential sports team in North America. if not for COVID, yankee chants would have swarmed Tropicana Field during the Rays’ supposed “home games”. their 8,000 fans are very happy about this ALDS win though, im sure. fucking losers.

I made a comment earlier tonight that I guess went out over the air that I am deeply ashamed of. If I have hurt anyone out there, I can’t tell you how much I say from the bottom of my heart that I am so very, very sorry. I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith, as there’s a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, that will be a home run, and so that will make it a 4-0 ballgame.
I don’t know if I’m going to be putting on this headset again, I don’t know if it’s going to be for the Reds, I don’t know if it’s going to be for my bosses at Fox. I want to apologize to the people who sign my paycheck, for the Reds, for Fox Sports Ohio, for the people I work with, for anybody I’ve offended here tonight. I can’t begin to tell you how deeply sorry I am. That is not who I am, it never has been, and I’d like to think I could have some people, maybe, that could back that up. I am very, very sorry, and I beg for your forgiveness. Jim Day will take you the rest of the way home.

Oakland is genuinely a shithole nowadays economically and safety-wise. These are businesses after all and a Vegas move will generate more income. Frankly, catching a baseball game during the day on a Vegas trip would be fun. It'll be a massive success. There are a ton of people who live in Vegas too that they should be able to build a solid fanbase over time.
The reality is that teams move all the time to follow US hotspots, the old fans protest it for a season or 2 but then it's normalized. At least Oakland fans can still go to Giant's games, I have far more empathy for fans in places like St. Louis who had the Rams abandon them and they don't have another team to go watch. Oakland has failed the As in the past 20-30 years, and new ownership and/or relocating should strengthen the MLB and the team.

New York can easily support two teams, possibly even a third in the suburbs. LA metro as well but f*ck the Angels. Meanwhile, the Chicago metro is poised to shrink below DFW in 10 years or less. The White Sox are a vestige of last century when Chicago was still important enough to support two teams - they should already be gone.
Objectively if we had to decide the 6 teams that have the least league influence and passionate fan base, I'd say CWS and LAA go first because they're the less important team in a city that already has one. TB Rays and Oakland/LV As don't have fans so they go. After that it's a bit hard, I'd probably go Arizona and Washington.

Merge the two New York teams then send them to Korea
Merge both LA teams and send to finish gentrifying Idaho
Merge Royals and Cardinals and move to the other Kansas City
Merge Detroit and Baltimore and meet in the middle in a less urban hellscape

I’m not holding back anymore. I literally have always been a massive Phillies fan, to the point where half my wardrobe is Phillies gear (other half is the Eagles).
I can’t freakin' watch them anymore, this was a sickening loss that got away from them. Any other freakin' half competent team would’ve won this game. While they are still in the running for the wild card and they made it to the WS last year, these are games you absolutely can’t freakin' lose. Teams with playoff aspirations don’t lose these games.
Turner looks like a freakin' little leaguer making $300 mil who needs a freakin' snack and a nap. Schwarber is a freakin' disgrace of his hitter. Come talk to me about how Schwarber hits bombs and draws walks though. A leadoff hitter (or any major league hitter for that matter) shouldn’t be hitting freakin' gosh darn .181. Casty had a rebound game but up to this point couldn’t buy a freakin' hit after being an “All-Star”. Rob doesn’t seem to understand baseball and how to manage a freakin' game. The bullpen despite having “a good year up to this point” is more freakin' porous than freakin' SpongeBob gosh darn SquarePants. Oh yeah, and the “aggressive” GM who will do anything to win traded for a middle-of-the-road pitcher and a bench player.
Still love the Phillies though.

the Tampa Bay Rays are the definition of a poverty franchise, known for their comically-low attendance and inability to sell out a stadium. they are among the largest revenue-sharing recipients, meaning they take a shit-ton of money from the player’s union (who have actually filed grievances against them for not managing that money properly). think of a 35-year old man living in their moms’ basement, and spending money on video games instead of getting a job. that’s a good comparison to describe what the Rays are to the rest of the league. if the MLB had a more cutthroat business model, teams like the Rays would have moved or been disbanded ages ago, instead of feeding off of the popular teams like a parasite feeds on its host. the Rays are utterly useless, and irrelevant. The Rays are the least essential sports team in North America. if not for COVID, yankee chants would have swarmed Tropicana Field during the Rays’ supposed “home games”. their 8,000 fans are very happy about this ALDS win though, im sure. fucking losers.

Oakland is genuinely a shithole nowadays economically and safety-wise. These are businesses after all and a Vegas move will generate more income. Frankly, catching a baseball game during the day on a Vegas trip would be fun. It'll be a massive success. There are a ton of people who live in Vegas too that they should be able to build a solid fanbase over time.
The reality is that teams move all the time to follow US hotspots, the old fans protest it for a season or 2 but then it's normalized. At least Oakland fans can still go to Giant's games, I have far more empathy for fans in places like St. Louis who had the Rams abandon them and they don't have another team to go watch. Oakland has failed the As in the past 20-30 years, and new ownership and/or relocating should strengthen the MLB and the team.

every time I see an Angels highlight it's like "Mike Trout hit three homes runs and raised his average to .528 while Shohei Ohtani did something that hasn't been done since 'Tungsten Arm' O'Doyle of the 1921 Akron Groomsmen, as the Tigers defeated the Angels 8-3"

hi from japan
I wanna tell you below 2 information to explain why Ohtani is a good pitcher
summary
1:his hamstring muscles is stronger than ordinary one
2:He seems to get used to grab MLB ball
details
about 1
a specialist pointed it out that his hamstring muscles are stronger than ordinary others,and he uses it so harder
if ordinary person uses the same way,his hamstring must break
some one told me why the muscle of him is so stronger,that he use to do swimming in his child days and swimming makes the muscles so strong
about 2
Okajaima,who is the former pitcher of Red Sox,points it out that He seems to get used to use MLB ball because it’s so different
(edit,every pitcher from Japan confuses the difference,for example Yu Darvish said like that)
1.MLB ball:149kg(edit,*149g)/24cm,more slippy:so it makes breaking ball more effective
2.NPB ball:142kg(edit,142g)/23cm,less slippy,breaking ball less effective
and he has also so fast ball around 100miles
so he can select fast ball,less breaking ball,strong breaking ball
That’s why he would be more great Pitcher"

Oh, hey, Padres fans. I'm Dr. Santos. Apologies that I haven't been here much at my West Coast office. I spent most of the season in New York, and let me tell you, the Mets and Yankees have really... Never mind. That's a HIPPA violation. Have a seat. This is a safe space where you can open up and talk about your feelings. I understand that White Sox fans referred you. Yeah, long-time clients. On your intake form, you wrote that you suspect you're doubting your abilities. What else? You feel like a fraud? This sounds like a classic case of imposter syndrome. It's extremely common among high achievers. Your roster is stacked with superstars. You had the third highest payroll in baseball. On opening day, you had the second highest odds to win the World Series, according to fan graphs. Yet you wound out outside of the postseason picture. I know just the thing. You need to decompress. I'm going to prescribe a four-month vacation starting October second. And remember, I'm always available on Zoom while you're in Borra Borra. Yeah, it's just $495 for a 30-minute session. Safe travels.

Athletics - Nobody will miss them.
NY Mets - Nobody cares about NY's second team.
White Sox - Nobody cares about Chicago's second team
Twins - A team no one thinks about.
Marlins/Rays - Florida needs to float away.
Dodgers - No one cares about LA's second team.

Each 2 team city (NY Chicago LA and SF Bay Area)
Florida can't support 2 teams
Ohio doesn't deserve 2 teams either
So to remove 1 from each division
NL East - NY
AL East - TB
NL Central - Cincinnati
AL Central - Chicago
NL West - LA
AL West - Oakland

A’s, Brewers, White Sox, Marlins, Angels, and Astros.
The first are smaller markets or minority share of them, and the last is for enterprise corruption. ;-)

As it currently stands with recent attendance stats, you gotta go these 6:
Pirates (easily 3/3 of Pittsburgh teams)
Royals (can be rocking with a good team, and are turning it around)
White Sox (dumpster fire)
Rays (although the new City Connects do say Tampa Bay on them, so maybe they're admitting that they're in it for the long haul)
Marlins (does anyone in Miami care about baseball?)
A's (dumpster fire, but not all their fault. If I was an A's fan I wouldn't put any more money into that idiot's pocket either)
I'm so sick of this goddamn team. They absolutely make me want to vomit. I'm not even ten goddamn games into this season and i want to scream. They are that terrible. It's like the movie groundhog day but instead i'm reliving the shittiest games of baseball over and over and over again every fucking day of my life. Every damn day I have watched this pathetic mess of a team, rain or sun or snow since I was 7 years old. I have a tab open during work w/ the gamecast during the day games that I can't go. I've skipped school and work and broken up with women for the Pirates. I've missed funerals and weddings because i loved this team more. And what do I get to show for it? A FUCKING BRAIN ANEURYSM. A team that has had 3 winning seasons over the past 20 something who manages to play like ass in the playoffs on the rare occasion they make it because they are so used to being shit and don't have a winning culture. A team that game in and game out somehow manages to have less goddamn hits than Chumbawamba. A team that gets swept. By the Cincinnati Reds. "Oh but look at our young talent- Cole and Taillon and Bell and whoever else that sucks dick!!" I'm sick of hearing "we could be a contender like we were 3 years ago if Cutch doesn't play like shit and the LF can stop jerking off for 2 seconds to swing the fucking bat" ITS NOT HAPPENING. WE ARE NOT AND NEVER WERE A GOOD TEAM. WE ARE PATHETIC. MIGHT AS WELL FADE US NOW BECAUSE WE'RE ALREADY A BUNCH OF FUCKING LOSERS. If Clemente didn't die in that plane crash, I'm convinced he would have killed himself after being forced to wear our godforsaken excuse of uniform for 18 years of his life. I'm done with this fucking team.

1.) Tampa Bay (It's depressing how little St Pete cares about them - tickets are dirt cheap and the boomer ass residents still think paying $8 is "too expensive")
2.) White Sox (Chicago does not need two teams)
3.) Miami (literally no one wants to be outside in Miami heat and humidity in the summer if they aren't at the beach)
4.) Pittsburgh (Glorified minor league team for decades)
5.) Cleveland (Guardians is already a minor league name so why not)
6.) Minnesota (I always forget they have a team to begin with)

Baseball died in Cleveland today. You are gonna lose a lot of die hard fans over this move. Been a fan since the 70’s and this is a slap in the face to us true die hard fans. I won’t spend another dime on this team.

the Tampa Bay Rays are the definition of a poverty franchise, known for their comically-low attendance and inability to sell out a stadium. they are among the largest revenue-sharing recipients, meaning they take a shit-ton of money from the player’s union (who have actually filed grievances against them for not managing that money properly). think of a 35-year old man living in their moms’ basement, and spending money on video games instead of getting a job. that’s a good comparison to describe what the Rays are to the rest of the league. if the MLB had a more cutthroat business model, teams like the Rays would have moved or been disbanded ages ago, instead of feeding off of the popular teams like a parasite feeds on its host. the Rays are utterly useless, and irrelevant. The Rays are the least essential sports team in North America. if not for COVID, yankee chants would have swarmed Tropicana Field during the Rays’ supposed “home games”. their 8,000 fans are very happy about this ALDS win though, im sure. fucking losers.

Oakland is genuinely a shithole nowadays economically and safety-wise. These are businesses after all and a Vegas move will generate more income. Frankly, catching a baseball game during the day on a Vegas trip would be fun. It'll be a massive success. There are a ton of people who live in Vegas too that they should be able to build a solid fanbase over time.
The reality is that teams move all the time to follow US hotspots, the old fans protest it for a season or 2 but then it's normalized. At least Oakland fans can still go to Giant's games, I have far more empathy for fans in places like St. Louis who had the Rams abandon them and they don't have another team to go watch. Oakland has failed the As in the past 20-30 years, and new ownership and/or relocating should strengthen the MLB and the team.

Colorado, Tampa, Miami, Sacramento/Las Vegas for sure. Baseball doesn't work at altitude and both Florida fan bases have proven unable to support a team. The A's b/c fck Fisher. Anaheim because they squandered the two best players of our lifetime, can't go unpunished. Lastly either Arizona or Seattle. I lean Arizona because of the stadium situation.
The six worst teams at the end of the season have to join the Coastal Plain League and play banana ball until they can win a championship there. They rejoin MLB and the current worst MLB team takes their spot in banana ball.
When can the whole league be banana ball?
When Banana Ball sells better than an MLB game and Rob Manfred Jr announces that Major League Stadiums are no longer allowed to host a Banana game. Owners revolt, purchase their own Banana team and MLB is officially dead.

Whoever finishes with the worst overall record has to play the Savannah Bananas for an entire season
Or at least separate trophies for different achievements. Like each league gets a championship trophy for most wins and then playoffs get their own winner. Then we can have a World Series between the two leagues so there is a chance for a treble
The mariners are often less fun than watching banana ball, anyways
Yankees 6x
yankees (self-explanatory), braves (racist), white sox (no one gives a shit about them), astros (cheaters), indians (also racist), brewers (a brewers player slept with my wife)
I’m tired of people shitting on the Braves we are a peaceful group of racists
Hey! Fan of the other team here, but I come in peace lol. Wow, y'all played a good game, but man, that definitely ended in a way that was uniquely typical of one of our teams. Your young player is really something and definitely going to give us trouble for years. Y'all are gonna be really scary next year, and I'll be rooting for y'all then (except when y'all play us!).

Angels and White Sox are both out because their cities already have a team (and they suck (and nobody gives a shit about the White Sox), the Athletics are out because they don’t have a stadium, the Rays have a shitty stadium, Coors field messes with data so they’re cut (and they are terrible with no promise of improvement), and the Marlins because fuck Florida.

The worst thing about playing in the AL East is Tropicana field, and the Yankees and Blue Jays are in the division. That’s impressive.
This is a damn good list. I could see subbing out the Rockies for the Royals. Otherwise I have zero arguments.
every time I see an Angels highlight it's like "Mike Trout hit three homes runs and raised his average to .528 while Shohei Ohtani did something that hasn't been done since 'Tungsten Arm' O'Doyle of the 1921 Akron Groomsmen, as the Tigers defeated the Angels 8-3" *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Oh, hey, Padres fans. I'm Dr. Santos. Apologies that I haven't been here much at my West Coast office. I spent most of the season in New York, and let me tell you, the Mets and Yankees have really... Never mind. That's a HIPPA violation. Have a seat. This is a safe space where you can open up and talk about your feelings. I understand that White Sox fans referred you. Yeah, long-time clients. On your intake form, you wrote that you suspect you're doubting your abilities. What else? You feel like a fraud? This sounds like a classic case of imposter syndrome. It's extremely common among high achievers. Your roster is stacked with superstars. You had the third highest payroll in baseball. On opening day, you had the second highest odds to win the World Series, according to fan graphs. Yet you wound out outside of the postseason picture. I know just the thing. You need to decompress. I'm going to prescribe a four-month vacation starting October second. And remember, I'm always available on Zoom while you're in Borra Borra. Yeah, it's just $495 for a 30-minute session.

It honestly fucking hurts knowing that I'll never mate with her, pass my genes through her, and have her birth a set of perfect offspring. I'd do fucking ANYTHING for the chance to get Mrs. Met pregnant. A N Y T H I N G. And the fact that I can't is quite honestly too much to fucking bear. Why would the Mets create something so perfect?

I made a comment earlier tonight that I guess went out over the air that I am deeply ashamed of. If I have hurt anyone out there, I can’t tell you how much I say from the bottom of my heart that I am so very, very sorry. I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith, as there’s a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, that will be a home run, and so that will make it a 4-0 ballgame. I don’t know if I’m going to be putting on this headset again, I don’t know if it’s going to be for the Reds, I don’t know if it’s going to be for my bosses at Fox. I want to apologize to the people who sign my paycheck, for the Reds, for Fox Sports Ohio, for the people I work with, for anybody I’ve offended here tonight.

New York can easily support two teams, possibly even a third in the suburbs. LA metro as well but f*ck the Angels. Meanwhile, the Chicago metro is poised to shrink below DFW in 10 years or less. The White Sox are a vestige of last century when Chicago was still important enough to support two teams - they should already be gone.
Objectively if we had to decide the 6 teams that have the least league influence and passionate fan base, I'd say CWS and LAA go first because they're the less important team in a city that already has one. TB Rays and Oakland/LV As don't have fans so they go. After that it's a bit hard, I'd probably go Arizona and Washington.

Dodgers, Phillies, Yankees, Blue Jays, Astros, Marlins
I’m not holding back anymore. I literally have always been a massive Phillies fan, to the point where half my wardrobe is Phillies gear (other half is the Eagles). I can’t freakin' watch them anymore, this was a sickening loss that got away from them. Any other freakin' half competent team would’ve won this game. While they are still in the running for the wild card and they made it to the WS last year, these are games you absolutely can’t freakin' lose. Teams with playoff aspirations don’t lose these games. Turner looks like a freakin' little leaguer making $300 mil who needs a freakin' snack and a nap. Schwarber is a freakin' disgrace of his hitter. Come talk to me about how Schwarber hits bombs and draws walks though. A leadoff hitter (or any major league hitter for that matter) shouldn’t be hitting freakin' gosh darn .181. Casty had a rebound game but up to this point couldn’t buy a freakin' hit after being an “All-Star”. Rob doesn’t seem to understand baseball and how to manage a freakin' game. The bullpen despite having “a good year up to this point” is more freakin' porous than freakin' SpongeBob gosh darn SquarePants. Oh yeah, and the “aggressive” GM who will do anything to win traded for a middle-of-the-road pitcher and a bench player. Still love the Phillies though. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

every time I see an Angels highlight it's like "Mike Trout hit three homes runs and raised his average to .528 while Shohei Ohtani did something that hasn't been done since 'Tungsten Arm' O'Doyle of the 1921 Akron Groomsmen, as the Tigers defeated the Angels 8-3" *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

the Tampa Bay Rays are the definition of a poverty franchise, known for their comically-low attendance and inability to sell out a stadium. they are among the largest revenue-sharing recipients, meaning they take a shit-ton of money from the player’s union (who have actually filed grievances against them for not managing that money properly). think of a 35-year old man living in their moms’ basement, and spending money on video games instead of getting a job. that’s a good comparison to describe what the Rays are to the rest of the league. if the MLB had a more cutthroat business model, teams like the Rays would have moved or been disbanded ages ago, instead of feeding off of the popular teams like a parasite feeds on its host. the Rays are utterly useless, and irrelevant. The Rays are the least essential sports team in North America. if not for COVID, yankee chants would have swarmed Tropicana Field during the Rays’ supposed “home games”. their 8,000 fans are very happy about this ALDS win though, im sure. fucking losers. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Oh, hey, Padres fans. I'm Dr. Santos. Apologies that I haven't been here much at my West Coast office. I spent most of the season in New York, and let me tell you, the Mets and Yankees have really... Never mind. That's a HIPPA violation. Have a seat. This is a safe space where you can open up and talk about your feelings. I understand that White Sox fans referred you. Yeah, long-time clients. On your intake form, you wrote that you suspect you're doubting your abilities. What else? You feel like a fraud? This sounds like a classic case of imposter syndrome. It's extremely common among high achievers. Your roster is stacked with superstars. You had the third highest payroll in baseball. On opening day, you had the second highest odds to win the World Series, according to fan graphs. Yet you wound out outside of the postseason picture. I know just the thing. You need to decompress. I'm going to prescribe a four-month vacation starting October second. And remember, I'm always available on Zoom while you're in Borra Borra. Yeah, it's just $495 for a 30-minute session.

Not much mention of the Rockies. I figure most just forgot they’re a team.
Let’s get rid of the AL Central and the Rockies and we’re good to go
Drop the Florida teams.

Oakland is genuinely a shithole nowadays economically and safety-wise. These are businesses after all and a Vegas move will generate more income. Frankly, catching a baseball game during the day on a Vegas trip would be fun. It'll be a massive success. There are a ton of people who live in Vegas too that they should be able to build a solid fanbase over time. The reality is that teams move all the time to follow US hotspots, the old fans protest it for a season or 2 but then it's normalized. At least Oakland fans can still go to Giant's games, I have far more empathy for fans in places like St. Louis who had the Rams abandon them and they don't have another team to go watch. Oakland has failed the As in the past 20-30 years, and new ownership and/or relocating should strengthen the MLB and the team. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

hi from japan I wanna tell you below 2 information to explain why Ohtani is a good pitcher summary 1:his hamstring muscles is stronger than ordinary one 2:He seems to get used to grab MLB ball details about 1 a specialist pointed it out that his hamstring muscles are stronger than ordinary others,and he uses it so harder if ordinary person uses the same way,his hamstring must break some one told me why the muscle of him is so stronger,that he use to do swimming in his child days and swimming makes the muscles so strong about 2 Okajaima,who is the former pitcher of Red Sox,points it out that He seems to get used to use MLB ball because it’s so different (edit,every pitcher from Japan confuses the difference,for example Yu Darvish said like that) 1.MLB ball:149kg(edit,*149g)/24cm,more slippy:so it makes breaking ball more effective 2.NPB ball:142kg(edit,142g)/23cm,less slippy,breaking ball less effective and he has also so fast ball around 100miles so he can select fast ball,less breaking ball,strong breaking ball That’s why he would be more great Pitcher" *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

every time I see an Angels highlight it's like "Mike Trout hit three homes runs and raised his average to .528 while Shohei Ohtani did something that hasn't been done since 'Tungsten Arm' O'Doyle of the 1921 Akron Groomsmen, as the Tigers defeated the Angels 8-3" *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Shut up. No one actually gives a shit about the White Sox *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/baseballcirclejerk) if you have any questions or concerns.*
As it currently stands with recent attendance stats, you gotta go these 6: Pirates (easily 3/3 of Pittsburgh teams) Royals (can be rocking with a good team, and are turning it around) White Sox (dumpster fire) Rays (although the new City Connects do say Tampa Bay on them, so maybe they're admitting that they're in it for the long haul) Marlins (does anyone in Miami care about baseball?) A's (dumpster fire, but not all their fault. If I was an A's fan I wouldn't put any more money into that idiot's pocket either)
I'm so sick of this goddamn team. They absolutely make me want to vomit. I'm not even ten goddamn games into this season and i want to scream. They are that terrible. It's like the movie groundhog day but instead i'm reliving the shittiest games of baseball over and over and over again every fucking day of my life. Every damn day I have watched this pathetic mess of a team, rain or sun or snow since I was 7 years old. I have a tab open during work w/ the gamecast during the day games that I can't go. I've skipped school and work and broken up with women for the Pirates. I've missed funerals and weddings because i loved this team more. And what do I get to show for it? A FUCKING BRAIN ANEURYSM. A team that has had 3 winning seasons over the past 20 something who manages to play like ass in the playoffs on the rare occasion they make it because they are so used to being shit and don't have a winning culture. A team that game in and game out somehow manages to have less goddamn hits than Chumbawamba. A team that gets swept. By the Cincinnati Reds. "Oh but look at our young talent- Cole and Taillon and Bell and whoever else that sucks dick!!" I'm sick of hearing "we could be a contender like we were 3 years ago if Cutch doesn't play like shit and the LF can stop jerking off for 2 seconds to swing the fucking bat" ITS NOT HAPPENING. WE ARE NOT AND NEVER WERE A GOOD TEAM. WE ARE PATHETIC. MIGHT AS WELL FADE US NOW BECAUSE WE'RE ALREADY A BUNCH OF FUCKING LOSERS. If Clemente didn't die in that plane crash, I'm convinced he would have killed himself after being forced to wear our godforsaken excuse of uniform for 18 years of his life. I'm done with this fucking team. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Oakland is genuinely a shithole nowadays economically and safety-wise. These are businesses after all and a Vegas move will generate more income. Frankly, catching a baseball game during the day on a Vegas trip would be fun. It'll be a massive success. There are a ton of people who live in Vegas too that they should be able to build a solid fanbase over time. The reality is that teams move all the time to follow US hotspots, the old fans protest it for a season or 2 but then it's normalized. At least Oakland fans can still go to Giant's games, I have far more empathy for fans in places like St. Louis who had the Rams abandon them and they don't have another team to go watch. Oakland has failed the As in the past 20-30 years, and new ownership and/or relocating should strengthen the MLB and the team. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

the Tampa Bay Rays are the definition of a poverty franchise, known for their comically-low attendance and inability to sell out a stadium. they are among the largest revenue-sharing recipients, meaning they take a shit-ton of money from the player’s union (who have actually filed grievances against them for not managing that money properly). think of a 35-year old man living in their moms’ basement, and spending money on video games instead of getting a job. that’s a good comparison to describe what the Rays are to the rest of the league. if the MLB had a more cutthroat business model, teams like the Rays would have moved or been disbanded ages ago, instead of feeding off of the popular teams like a parasite feeds on its host. the Rays are utterly useless, and irrelevant. The Rays are the least essential sports team in North America. if not for COVID, yankee chants would have swarmed Tropicana Field during the Rays’ supposed “home games”. their 8,000 fans are very happy about this ALDS win though, im sure. fucking losers. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

To many? You mean not enough
1.) Tampa Bay (It's depressing how little St Pete cares about them - tickets are dirt cheap and the boomer ass residents still think paying $8 is "too expensive") 2.) White Sox (Chicago does not need two teams) 3.) Miami (literally no one wants to be outside in Miami heat and humidity in the summer if they aren't at the beach) 4.) Pittsburgh (Glorified minor league team for decades) 5.) Cleveland (Guardians is already a minor league name so why not) 6.) Minnesota (I always forget they have a team to begin with)

Baseball died in Cleveland today. You are gonna lose a lot of die hard fans over this move. Been a fan since the 70’s and this is a slap in the face to us true die hard fans. I won’t spend another dime on this team. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

The Rockies x 6
White Sox, Angels, Miami, Tampa, Oakland/Sacramento/Las Vegas, Cleveland

Relegate the cubs and all of their minor league teams. Paul Skenes already did all the work of destroying morale so nobody will resist
Colorado, Tampa, Miami, Sacramento/Las Vegas for sure. Baseball doesn't work at altitude and both Florida fan bases have proven unable to support a team. The A's b/c fck Fisher. Anaheim because they squandered the two best players of our lifetime, can't go unpunished. Lastly either Arizona or Seattle. I lean Arizona because of the stadium situation.
Yankees, Yankees, Yankees, Yankees, Yankees, and Yankees.
