Could Major League Baseball be orchestrating outcomes to favor big-market teams like the Yankees and Dodgers? We dive into this provocative question with co-host Val and our spirited crew—Patrick, Eric, Donnie, and Paul—as we reflect on an exhilarating 2024 MLB season. Theories fly about the Dodgers' acquisition of Shohei Ohtani and the Yankees' return to the World Series, sparking a lively debate on whether MLB manipulates matchups to boost viewership. We also tackle the controversial topic of primetime scheduling, sharing fan frustrations over perceived favoritism and the joy of rooting for underdogs in a league dominated by powerhouses.

Join us on a rollercoaster of baseball fandom, where moving teams and regional biases stir up intense loyalty and rivalry. Our conversation meanders through the impact of relocations, like the Oakland A's potential move to Las Vegas, and explores how modern fans follow individual stars such as Ohtani. Nostalgia runs high as we reminisce about unforgettable World Series moments and ponder the integrity of the game in comparison to college football's own controversies. Through laughter and candid banter, we celebrate the enduring commitment of fans whose teams face long championship droughts, maintaining hope in the face of adversity.
