It's not about them.

Yeah.

Right, and they also won the previous year.

Yeah, I mean, it's like, I don't, that's a funny argument to me.

Like, I'd love to barely win a World Series.

Yeah, so this is where I look at who really needs to fix baseball.

And to me, it's Major League Baseball itself.

Because a lot of these owners are okay with making money because of these tax bills.

And they're not putting it on the team.

Some of them are pissed off because they can't compete financially.

And they want to have players and they want to be able to sign players and trying to build from within is tougher than doing what the Dodgers are doing.

But I think a lot of them are okay with just pocketing this money if these teams are going to overspend.

The players, we just detailed how it's great for them because there's no real salary cap and these contracts are astronomical.

Here's where I think that this is a huge problem is for Rob Manfred and baseball because the more that you...

have all these markets and all these teams that are out of it year in and year out that's when the fans die because this is a regional sport and we see it we saw hockey become a huge deal in Las Vegas in Nashville because their team was winning Seattle in Tampa Bay because their team was winning like when when your team wins yes you're in and that's a regional sport as well in the NHL so

That's what baseball needs, and that's why I never really complain about expanding the playoffs because you get more markets in.

And when more markets are in, more fans are in, and then you grow more fans too because your team is good.

But if it's the same teams every single year and your team isn't one of them...

I mean, I was in Pittsburgh when they actually went to the playoffs for the first time in 20 years.

But I also saw prior to that and after that.
