@@albinofroggy if you enjoy the Baseballdoesntexist channel its worth going back to check out some (all) of his older videos. The ones about Ohtani talk about the WBC and the TLDR is that basically 2/3rds of the entire country of Japan watched the WBC which had an incredible Hollywood ending. edit: Also, thanks for the One Piece context. I had no idea what that was.
@@albinofroggy The water pressure across Japan would drop in between innings during the World Baseball Classic Final (USA vs Japan) because everyone would go to the bathroom really quick then get back to the game. I think they had 42% of Japanese households watching that. This series will probably come close, if not match those ratings. Newspapers printed special new editions late in the morning on the day Ohtani hit 40/40 and then again when he hit 50/50. The man is to Japan what Lionel Messi is to Argentina.
This is only romantic if you: A: Live in New York B: Live in Los Angeles C: Are old enough to remember the Dodgers in Brooklyn Otherwise? Meh. No reason for the rest of the country to care.
Nah, that was last season. This is just the final nail in the corpo coffin that Manfred has been desperately shoving baseball into his entire tenure. Nobody who actually likes the sport wanted this godforsaken matchup.

God your vids are so fucking good man. I just got back into baseball this year once the Tigers went on thier run. Your channel is by FAR the best ive found and ive watched dozens. Keep it up man. Pretty impressive for making so much content on a sport that doesnt exist.
Ngl MLB postseason has been the most entertaining, high quality anime this year. The Shohei Ohtani redemption arc and the 50-50 club arc are my favorites.
It doesn’t negate your point however for clarity the one piece anime is on hiatus and what was delayed is just essentially a one episode tv special that retells a previous arc with new animation in a condensed amount of time
I’m a yankee fan and my dads a Dodgers fan. With both of our teams going into the World Series, we made a bet on which what team loses, the person has to cut their hair. Straight to bald. I don’t wanna lose my hair!
Same thing in my household. I'm a Yankees fan, my dad's a Dodgers fan. Only difference is that out bet consists of gifting the other one a new jersey depending on which team wins the World Series.
Juan Soto put on a clinic on fouling off pitches that, numero uno, shouldve struck him out, and, numero dos, are pitches he never had a chance at putting a good barrel on. Juan also put on a clinic on being patient, spitting on breaking balls that looks like its a fastball in the zone, but will break into the dirt. Last but not least Juan put on yet another clinic on how patience and fighting in your at bat with fouling balls off earns you a fastball that the pitchers trying to locate, where thats the pitch you put the big swing on for the fences. Aaron Judge could use some watching of that at bat over & over and reevaluate his approach to an at bat in the postseason
I haven’t watched a live baseball game in DECADES, but I like this channel so I watched the game tonight because of this video, and HOLY SHIT am I glad I did. Thank you BDE! I’m gonna watch all the World Series games now.
I love your videos man you always know exactly what it is about baseball that makes me feel the way I do about it, and hit those notes exactly to pump me up and turn me into the closest it is possible to get as an adult into the state of being required to be but also granted by being a boy who is a baseball fan. It's a mystical place lol where superstition rules and magic absolutely can and will happen at some point. I can still feel that "touch em all Joe, you'll never hit a bigger one" call and jumping as joyously as Carter was. I guess the dream is to never have to leave that innocent and joyous existence of pure joy that men who are wealthy beyond measure seem to exhibit if they're lucky. Lucky enough to be surrounded by a machine designed to enable them to just do anything they want to do as long as they do not put themselves in danger of physical harm. It must be a life man.
The viewing audience may actually be more than 13 million, a lot of people don't know this, but Baseball is more than just a "City" sport, it's part Regional/City, most cities have Metro populations, and some even have what is called Combined Statistical Area. A Combined Statistical Area (CSA) is defined as various combinations of adjacent metropolitan and micropolitan areas with economic ties measured by commuting patterns. In other words, for places like NYC, there's obviously MORE to NYC, there's Long Island, parts of NY State, Connecticut, and even New Jersey (Meadowlands anyone?), it basically answers the question, when you leave a city, how long does it take to find the rural countryside? Last year was the least viewed WS, true, combining Dallas-Fort Worth and Phoenix's CSA's, =~14 million, and the highest rated game was 11 million, which is HORRIBLY low for a national audience given America's total population let alone between the 2 cities if they were the primary audience! NYC's CSA is ~22 million people! Los Angeles, despite inner city LA having just under 4 million? ~18 million live in LA's CSA! 40 million people live either inside these 2 cities, or near these 2 cities! This is why you hear that LA and NYC are the LARGEST markets, cuz they literally are! Milwaukee for instance? Is legit the SMALLEST market in all of baseball! It has the 34th ranked CSA! Even if you take the rest of America out of the equation for TV ratings, this World Series could still easily generate over 40 million viewers just between the 2 markets! The WS hasn't reached 20 million viewers since 2019, 40 million since 2016 (Cubs). THIS, is one of many reasons why a Salary Cap doesn't and wouldn't work for MLB, and why the sport works the way it does compared to the others in the NFL, NHL, and NBA. MLB is legit the only sport that operates by CSA markets. NFL works via regional markets, NBA/NHL work via city markets. Look at the arenas and stadiums in the NFL/NBA/NHL, they work perfectly for those leagues vs Baseball. Then there's also the league structure, how many games does each sport play? NBA/NHL play 41 home games a year out of 82, the average capacity of those arenas is ~17.5k, if we multiply that by 41 it = 717,500 maximum attendance. In the NFL let's say for ease of argument, the average cap of an NFL stadium is 70k, including preseason every NFL team is guaranteed (unless overseas games) 10 home games a year, and if they were all fully sold out, that's 700k fans in attendance per year. Now look at MLB, 43,277 is the average capacity of an MLB stadium (subject to change), and each team plays 81 home games guaranteed per year! Multiply that number and it already blows NFL/NBA/NHL out of the water in total attendance! Now look at the actual attendance numbers, and you will see that teams like the Marlins and A's would GROSSLY hold back MLB if a Salary Cap is instituted! It would be similar to how the AZ Coyotes held back the NHL from growing (now Utah)! There's definitely more to this, but I'm rambling now, so I'll leave this there. This subject is a huge reason I'd love to make TH-cam videos, but am broke...

Just want to say I love your videos and I'm not even a baseball fan. They're very well formatted and you do a great job at telling the story in a captivating way!
I love how this channel can break down things to a degree that I can never think of. Puts everything into an even better perspective. Now I'm even more hyped for this series than I already was. I'm not even a huge, die hard fan of either team 😂
I'll watch to maybe 10PM then head off to bed. Starting WS games after 8 is stupid. My kids never became baseball fans because the postseason games were too late for them to stay up and watch. They became football fans because they could stay up to watch the Superbowl.
9:41 the problem with saying the Dodges would have finished 9 games lower without Ohtani is that the dodgers wouldn't have used a "replacement level" player in the DH spot. even an average hitter would be 2-3 games better than a replacement level. Still, that's a lot of games.
LA metro is 18-19 million NYC metro is 25 million So our combined is more like 45 million and our fans go BEYOND that! Let's also not forget the Dodgers being originally From NYC we also have lots of Dodgers fans still too! Other than that, nice vid!
Some time ago a problem was presented to some smart guys. "Is there any way to make baseball into a slower game" It took them 3 months to come up with their answer. "10 innings and 4 outs."
If you'd do 7 innings of 4 outs, you practically have the same number of outs, but would incentivize small ball cause you have an out more to work with to move runners and try to score.
If I’m paying 6k for parking, Ohtani better escort me to my seat while holding my hand

My guy I love your content. You have to make a video about baseball in DR. You did one for Japan. It's only fair.😂🇩🇴
Your work you put into this really shows!
bro delaying one piece is so perfect to encapsulate how big of a star shohei is
This is the earliest video I’ve been to from Baseball Doesn’t Exist
My favorite TH-camr ever! Zero bias, zero favoritism, and lots of fun!! I love the video lengths and the topics pointed out! Amazing channel!!
Just want to say I love your videos and I'm not even a baseball fan. They're very well formatted and you do a great job at telling the story in a captivating way!
This was a great video! The details were on point. We are only 2 games into the world series and it has brought everything I have wished for and more!
The best baseball channel on TH-cam.
Pre World Series Game 1 video is MAJOR
so far it is living up to the expectations
I love how this channel can break down things to a degree that I can never think of. Puts everything into an even better perspective. Now I'm even more hyped for this series than I already was. I'm not even a huge, die hard fan of either team 😂
Oh and Freddy just made World Series history on a fucked up ankle.
The fact you posted this and then game one happened how it did 🙌🏼
You never fail to keep it interesting!

Immediately had to watch after Freeman hit that walk off. Absolute cinema.🔥🔥
I'll watch to maybe 10PM then head off to bed. Starting WS games after 8 is stupid. My kids never became baseball fans because the postseason games were too late for them to stay up and watch. They became football fans because they could stay up to watch the Superbowl.
Sweet dreams gramps
Can’t start before 5 on the West Coast because people are still getting off work
Football was a better game, but since online sports betting became legal practically everywhere, it's getting a little shady in a few circumstances
North vs. West. 2 biggest markets in baseball. MVP candidates. The prices were very much expected
Well... that was definitely a start.
We’ve been waiting for this for a long time probably gonna be the craziest thing ever
bro changed the thumbnail so fast
Dodgers just took game one and it was a great game by both teams wow!!
There needs to be a cap, to much money being spent
Extra inning walk-off grand slam. Writers are cooking 🔥 🔥 🔥
And some people wondered why LA paid so much for these two guys. 🥴 They’ve paid back their salaries in the first playoff game.
I was not expecting your to drop vid until the World Series is over
Glazing stops at 17:42
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Erm actually 17:43
How can you not love these boys hahahaha 9:01
and just now freddie freeman hit a walk off bomb in game 1 WS😭😭😭
Joe, Stanton never signed a deal to play for the yankees.... he signed an extension with Miami and was traded
Changing the thumbnail is insane 😂😅😅😂
9:41
the problem with saying the Dodges would have finished 9 games lower without Ohtani is that the dodgers wouldn't have used a "replacement level" player in the DH spot. even an average hitter would be 2-3 games better than a replacement level. Still, that's a lot of games.
My man changed the thumbnail to Freddie after the grand slam 🤣🤣I was confused on how it said 8 hours ago for a min
5:19 you telling me…. A bat boy saved ohtanis historic season? Respect✊
LA metro is 18-19 million
NYC metro is 25 million
So our combined is more like 45 million and our fans go BEYOND that!
Let's also not forget the Dodgers being originally From NYC we also have lots of Dodgers fans still too! Other than that, nice vid!
Was waiting for this video so muuuuch! This WS is going to be insane!
Some time ago a problem was presented to some smart guys. "Is there any way to make baseball into a slower game" It took them 3 months to come up with their answer. "10 innings and 4 outs."
If you'd do 7 innings of 4 outs, you practically have the same number of outs, but would incentivize small ball cause you have an out more to work with to move runners and try to score.
I lost my mind when Freddie hit that grand slam in game one
Who's here after the walkoff grand slam
Bro just predicted Freddie’s grand slam
Thanks for explaining WAR. I'm too lazy to look it up
He posted yes
