Dodgers win the World Series after beating the Yankees 7-6 in a roller-coaster Game 5: Highlights
The Dodgers have won two World Series in the last five years, having also won during the pandemic-shortened season in 2020.
5 games: 4-1 Dodgers take the series!
“We just took advantage of every mistake that they made that inning,” Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernández said of the fifth. “We put some good at-bats together. We put the ball in play. A lot of people say ‘when you put the ball in play, things might happen.’ It happened to us in that inning, and we scored five runs.”

I’ve got room in a Roto auction league on fantrax. $50+ $10 deposit that you’ll get back at the end of the year if you have less than two illegal lineup periods.
OBP instead of Average, would like to get up to 15 teams, no less than 12

C'mon BB day...Bobby had a helluva agent
The calendar has turned to July 1, and that means one thing: It's time for Mets fans everywhere to wish each other a Happy Bobby Bonilla Day! Why? On Thursday, 58-year-old Bobby Bonilla will collect a check for $1,193,248.20 from the New York Mets, as he has and will every July 1 from 2011 through 2035.

The Mets doing deferred compensation before it was cool.
The amazing thing is that the Mets were buying him out of $5.9 million in remaining contract.

Pretty good interest rate for BB....
I grew up watching and loving baseball. I still love the game itself, but MLB is will slowly kill itself off. I've tried watching, but unfortunately due to blackouts, I need to pay an arm and a leg to watch my local team on cable.This is just not true. If you haven’t watched MLB the last few years, you should. They have made the game shorter and more watchable.
World Series Ratings Shows Yet Again MLB is More Popular Than NBA: Bobby Burack
World Series ratings prove MLB is more popular than the NBA.www.outkick.com
The Regional Sports Network TV deals have alienated an inordinate amount of fans. Just ask anyone from Iowa on here how difficult it is to watch the team they root for.
Until MLB forces the teams into a national television deal to stabilize and standardize the offerings of games, that won't be fixed. Also, I know the Dodger, Yankee, Mets, and Red Sox fans here won't agree, but a hard salary cap and a minimum spending floor are in place, the league will continue to suffer.
It's anticipated that after the '26 season there will be another lockout, potentially (and hopefully) long enough and important enough to facilitate major changes, like a salary cap.
Also, the pitch clock speeds up the game a little bit, but the pitchers and hitters find ways around it, to a point. They'll get it taken out in the next collective bargaining agreement. The larger bases are a gimmick. So is limiting the throws over to first. I'm all for increased action in the game, but handicapping the pitchers to increase movement on the basepaths isn't the answer.
Analytics have ground the gameplay to a screeching halt, and will continue to as we go forward.
I pretty well washed my hands with baseball when I saw Kevin Cash pull Blake Snell in the 6th inning of Game 6 of the WS because the analytics, not the player performance, told him to.
