***Official*** MLB 2025 Thread

[Tellafriend]

The World Series announcers for 2025 will be Joe Davis as the play-by-play broadcaster and John Smoltz

There is no chance I’m listening to that. Why would MLB have the asexual twink who is the Dodgers broadcaster announce the series?

Completely impartial? I guess the MLB’s attitude is why pretend it’s not a Dodger rig-a-ment. You can’t fool the public. At least that will be the national conversation.

Thank god for hockey

i've met smoltz a couple of times. nice guy. also a good tipper. does a lot of charities in ga.

This is gonna be a pretty bad choke for the Mariners if the Blue Jays win this.

Simp v Druff

Make Canada Great Again

Maybe throw on the Canadian broadcast or radio for better announcers.


This is perfect. Vladdy vs Ohtani.

Trey vs Ohtani

Mariners continue to be cursed.

Only 2nd postseason appearance since 01. First division win since 01.

Take a 2-0 series lead on the road, lose the next 2, win the final home game, drop the next one, then blow a late 3-1 lead in game 7.

Tough to be a fan of this team. Never won the AL in their now 49-year history.

Expect Springer to be roundly booed at Dodger Stadium. Not as hated as Correa, Altuve, Reddick, or Bregman, but still a cheater.

You think there will be local radio? Be amazed if there is a Canadian broadcast but remember me if you see something.

Hate to miss World Series. I don’t watch NFL or NBA. I have rigid standards. Don’t think I won’t skip a Joe Davis broadcast. He is that bad

Toronto fans boo’ed Ohtani so there is that too

We will cheer for Kershaw. Hope to see him

So historically we only get the US broadcast in playoffs but this year we are getting the Canadian feed.

You can likely listen to it for free online but would need Iptv or something to get the video as well.

You have given me the will to live.

I am a master at syncing audio and video. Mute the Fox and listen to Canadien broadcast

I am also pretty clever about getting a feed if I know it exists. Awful announcing is a plague

There is this strange YouTube / sports ecosystem that has a YouTuber calling a game himself but lacking video. Some are even using strange/childish AI for video of match. I admit to listening as a way to follow tennis that isn’t broadcast conventionally.

John Boy media sits around for hours talking about a live playoff game. Of course everyone’s at it.

All these people are soaking up that YouTube long form revenue. Imagine if Americans learned to weld instead.

Ohtani's OPS in the past 1 game was 5.000.

From meh/ass performance and the resulting questions and needling from the media to legend & superhero for a day.

Ohtani was like .185 iirc going into the last game. Only Pages was worse.

What’s that about? We may find out in the next few games.

I jumped on the Dodgers and the under 7.5 at the open for a parlay and sit now with 40 cents of value. Just a math thing. I’ve done zero handicapping
