![]() It also fun figuring out decisions on whether to keep a pitcher in or find a pinch hitter when it comes to NL ball games later in the ball game. They also need to welcome 2-way players to do both in certain amount of games. If baseball wants to grow they will need different leagues playing or not playing a DH. I don’t want a 2-way to only pitch or to only hit (and possibly not field) when they play. I want those players to still play a position if they’re batting and also bat while pitch assuming they play in the NL ballpark. I personally believe that we will see more 2-way baseball players in terms of doing both batting and pitching. I believe they should not have universal DH. Moving forward, baseball has a tough decision to make. Could the Nats win back2back? MLB missed out on that and missed out having a stronger postseason than what is presented. Bryce Harper would have attention (possibly more given how his old team won the WS after he departed). Mike Trout in the postseason would bring attention just like Ovechkin from the Capitals brought so a high number of viewers when he was in pursuit of his 1st Stanley Cup. MLB needs as much headlines/storylines they could get. Focused on 2020 alone, the MLB has to be very mad that the Phillies, Angels, Nats, and/or the Mets didn’t make it. I mentioned how losing the Cubs is devastating for MLB and FOX Sports and that is because of the 16 team postseason because in any other year they’re facing the Braves in the NLDS. I said on another post that I hope the MLB doesn’t make the 16 team postseason permanent. I said on another post that having a 16 team postseason is enough for this season given the circumstance. ![]() But the Yankees themselves is enough to lead headlines in the World Series regardless the opponent. If it’s the Marlins their addition storyline is… Jeter has to root against the Yankees? Okay, the Marlins can only be a draw if they compete, but not dominate. If it’s the Padres, the MLB could highly market Fernando Tatis and hope he can be their Mahomes, Luka, and/or Zion going forward. ![]() Considering how bad the Hawks is and how the Falcons is no longer SB contenders, citizens from Atlanta and the state of Georgia (along with Mississippi, Alabama, North Florida, Tennessee, and the Carolinas) will ride behind the Bravos. If it’s the Braves, at least they’re a familiar team to be reckoned in America, especially from the older audiences. If it’s the Dodgers, the Dodgers will bring their WS drought storyline and also overcoming the 2017 WS (given what happened) storyline. So having the Yankees attempt to win their first WS in 11 years could be the best storyline to put out there. COVID erased all of that and let the Astros off the hook. That was going to be an all year affair whereas the Yankees haters don’t want them to win a World Series or dominate the MLB over a period of time. It’s hard to recall a specific Yankees team that was hated so much as what was transpired to be for the 2020 Houston Astros team. I’m talking on the level of Bad Boys Pistons, Laettner’s Duke, 2010-11 Heat, and 2014 Florida St football. ![]() Prior to the outbreak, it looked like the Astros were primed to become a team villain. What is great however is that the Astros is a participant, but only if they face the Dodgers could that be a great alternate hope for FOX. They could careless about their opponent. FOX wants the Yankees in the World Series. It’s been very odd on an even numerical year and I’m going to be odd on this post by getting to the point of what FOX wants its World Series to be and then talk about everything else. ![]() 2020 has been indescribable so many times. ![]()
