Please for the life of you Ben...never ever give World Series predictions...EVER! You're 0-2...one more strike, and you're OUT! You predicted Braves last year, they got eliminated, you predicted Phillies this year, they got eliminated...just stop please...
Having taken a look at MLB from afar, I am emotional about the fact that the two Japanese-born pitchers, Yu Darvish and Yoshi Yamamoto, will start a postseason game. It's been a long, long way to come since Hideo Nomo in the 90s.
I like your playoff scenario. Gives division winners an advantage, especially the top-2 seeds. First round should also be the series where the division winners host every game.
Good on you admitting being wrong on the Dodgers’ bullpen, Ben. I don’t know where you got the idea that they weren’t very good, cuz the regular season data doesn’t reflect that.
I look forward to all your videos Ben! and I’ll admit if my dodgers lose tonight I might not be able to watch again until spring but I believe they can win it tonight! 💙💙💙
Because people like it. It’s entertaining for pretty much everyone but Dodgers fans. And if the Dodgers did the same thing (please, no), I think the response would be rather different. People would talk major smack about the team. That’s just the reality of being a winning team and owning the NL West 12 years in a row.
I agree that Manny absolutely did the smart thing in that play in game 3. But I don't agree with understating how much of a scumbag he has been in the past. The majority of MLB players go their entire career without trying to purposefully injure other players like he has done 😂 Like 5 different fanbases hate him for a good reason. Just ask fans of Aguilar or Pedroia
Not opposed to everyone playing in Round 1. Spotting teams victories in a series is something I am not as enthusiastic about. But definitely agree that when (if) baseball expands to 32 teams, they will definitely need to restructure. Whether that means eight divisions, four teams each a la the NFL or realignment along geographical lines.
“Has Machado done more dirty things than others? Probably. Do I think he’s a brilliant baseball player? I do.” Ok to cheat as long as you are called a brilliant player?
I try to stay as neutral as possible in all situations that come into my life, so Shohei’s reaction was overdramatic if you ask me. I fully under competitiveness, but you gotta laugh at the scenario. Baseball is weird, wild, and fun.
Ben if Will Smith had done what Manny Machado did would you give him credit for it or roast him, my guess is roast because you hate the Dodgers... Im so bummed I can't watch the game tonight 😢... And you're right AJ Hinch is putting on a masterclass
A Rookie name Mark Vientos got better numbers than Otani plus defensive star, a SS Francisco Lindor Real MVP and Pete Alonso got better numbers than Otani.
Which teams do you think will win their Game 5?

Dodger and Tigers
I will reluctantly predict Dodgers and Guardians.
Dodgers all the way 💙💙💙
Prayers for Tampa Bay, all of Florida, and everyone affected by Hurricane Milton.🙏

I completely agree with you about the balance between the audience and the announcer. I want to feel like I'm there!
Shohei's f-bomb was so unexpected I couldn't decide whether to laugh or not. I was in total shock.

@@dodgedforgottenn he just hates the Dodgers

Go Guards. Win or lose, it’s been a classic series.
Nobody talking about SD players taunting the fans in LA😡

I usually like cheering for the underdog but man I can’t root against Ohtani. Love watching this guy play in October

Yeah that roof was tore up bad. Actually it is no more. How about that bat flip from shohei? I’ve never seen him that fired up before.
Smoothie lol

What did you think about Ken rosenthals article then San Diego shutting him out? Fair?
Tough look
Tarik Skubal will carry the Tigers to a W
Who is Ben Verlander? I thought this is Ben Affleck!
Affleck WISHES!
L take, that machado play was dirty but what do you expect from a guy who steps on peoples foot on first base?
Dodgers will win tonight 💙
Dodger w8n

Dodgers fan here. Ridiculous take here regarding Machado/Smith. It was brilliant base running
@@dodgedforgottenn but I doubt he would praise Smith that's my point...
