Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Baseball Fans Aren't Boring With Met Fan Jenn Salerno

And I feel like that's a point that's being driven home because people constantly talk about like, oh, these teams are trying to buy a championship.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

Sure, you can do that.

West Coast Bias: Baseball Fans Aren't Boring With Met Fan Jenn Salerno

You absolutely can.

You can try to buy a championship.

But and that's and that's where the spike comes from, because you can still construct the roster.

If you don't construct the roster correctly, it doesn't matter how much you spend.

If so, looking at kind of what's what's going on there, I want to talk a little bit about Carson Bench because that dude, he's been talked about quite a bit for the last little while.

West Coast Bias: Baseball Fans Aren't Boring With Met Fan Jenn Salerno

You know, he seemed it's interesting because he seemed to have like.

I don't know if the right word is like plateau, but he kind of plateaued in AAA where there was, there was the way he finished the year and kind of like the last third of the season.
