God your vids are so fucking good man. I just got back into baseball this year once the Tigers went on thier run. Your channel is by FAR the best ive found and ive watched dozens. Keep it up man. Pretty impressive for making so much content on a sport that doesnt exist.
Ngl MLB postseason has been the most entertaining, high quality anime this year. The Shohei Ohtani redemption arc and the 50-50 club arc are my favorites.
Juan Soto put on a clinic on fouling off pitches that, numero uno, shouldve struck him out, and, numero dos, are pitches he never had a chance at putting a good barrel on. Juan also put on a clinic on being patient, spitting on breaking balls that looks like its a fastball in the zone, but will break into the dirt. Last but not least Juan put on yet another clinic on how patience and fighting in your at bat with fouling balls off earns you a fastball that the pitchers trying to locate, where thats the pitch you put the big swing on for the fences. Aaron Judge could use some watching of that at bat over & over and reevaluate his approach to an at bat in the postseason
I haven’t watched a live baseball game in DECADES, but I like this channel so I watched the game tonight because of this video, and HOLY SHIT am I glad I did. Thank you BDE! I’m gonna watch all the World Series games now.
I’m a yankee fan and my dads a Dodgers fan. With both of our teams going into the World Series, we made a bet on which what team loses, the person has to cut their hair. Straight to bald. I don’t wanna lose my hair!
Same thing in my household. I'm a Yankees fan, my dad's a Dodgers fan. Only difference is that out bet consists of gifting the other one a new jersey depending on which team wins the World Series.
I love how this channel can break down things to a degree that I can never think of. Puts everything into an even better perspective. Now I'm even more hyped for this series than I already was. I'm not even a huge, die hard fan of either team 😂
The viewing audience may actually be more than 13 million, a lot of people don't know this, but Baseball is more than just a "City" sport, it's part Regional/City, most cities have Metro populations, and some even have what is called Combined Statistical Area. A Combined Statistical Area (CSA) is defined as various combinations of adjacent metropolitan and micropolitan areas with economic ties measured by commuting patterns. In other words, for places like NYC, there's obviously MORE to NYC, there's Long Island, parts of NY State, Connecticut, and even New Jersey (Meadowlands anyone?), it basically answers the question, when you leave a city, how long does it take to find the rural countryside? Last year was the least viewed WS, true, combining Dallas-Fort Worth and Phoenix's CSA's, =~14 million, and the highest rated game was 11 million, which is HORRIBLY low for a national audience given America's total population let alone between the 2 cities if they were the primary audience! NYC's CSA is ~22 million people! Los Angeles, despite inner city LA having just under 4 million? ~18 million live in LA's CSA! 40 million people live either inside these 2 cities, or near these 2 cities! This is why you hear that LA and NYC are the LARGEST markets, cuz they literally are! Milwaukee for instance? Is legit the SMALLEST market in all of baseball! It has the 34th ranked CSA! Even if you take the rest of America out of the equation for TV ratings, this World Series could still easily generate over 40 million viewers just between the 2 markets! The WS hasn't reached 20 million viewers since 2019, 40 million since 2016 (Cubs). THIS, is one of many reasons why a Salary Cap doesn't and wouldn't work for MLB, and why the sport works the way it does compared to the others in the NFL, NHL, and NBA. MLB is legit the only sport that operates by CSA markets. NFL works via regional markets, NBA/NHL work via city markets. Look at the arenas and stadiums in the NFL/NBA/NHL, they work perfectly for those leagues vs Baseball. Then there's also the league structure, how many games does each sport play? NBA/NHL play 41 home games a year out of 82, the average capacity of those arenas is ~17.5k, if we multiply that by 41 it = 717,500 maximum attendance. In the NFL let's say for ease of argument, the average cap of an NFL stadium is 70k, including preseason every NFL team is guaranteed (unless overseas games) 10 home games a year, and if they were all fully sold out, that's 700k fans in attendance per year. Now look at MLB, 43,277 is the average capacity of an MLB stadium (subject to change), and each team plays 81 home games guaranteed per year! Multiply that number and it already blows NFL/NBA/NHL out of the water in total attendance! Now look at the actual attendance numbers, and you will see that teams like the Marlins and A's would GROSSLY hold back MLB if a Salary Cap is instituted! It would be similar to how the AZ Coyotes held back the NHL from growing (now Utah)! There's definitely more to this, but I'm rambling now, so I'll leave this there. This subject is a huge reason I'd love to make RUclips videos, but am broke...

I'll watch to maybe 10PM then head off to bed. Starting WS games after 8 is stupid. My kids never became baseball fans because the postseason games were too late for them to stay up and watch. They became football fans because they could stay up to watch the Superbowl.
As a vtuber fan and a baseball fan I am 100% saying the gawr gura buff is real like any good baseball superstition and that the hololive crossover coinsided with the dodgers turning it around
i am not a big baseball fan at all, but bought a stream service just to watch this series. no one pumped me up, i was just like “yankees vs. dodgers World Series? I’m in”
I love your videos man you always know exactly what it is about baseball that makes me feel the way I do about it, and hit those notes exactly to pump me up and turn me into the closest it is possible to get as an adult into the state of being required to be but also granted by being a boy who is a baseball fan. It's a mystical place lol where superstition rules and magic absolutely can and will happen at some point. I can still feel that "touch em all Joe, you'll never hit a bigger one" call and jumping as joyously as Carter was. I guess the dream is to never have to leave that innocent and joyous existence of pure joy that men who are wealthy beyond measure seem to exhibit if they're lucky. Lucky enough to be surrounded by a machine designed to enable them to just do anything they want to do as long as they do not put themselves in danger of physical harm. It must be a life man.
I haven’t watched baseball in over 15 years, but there’s just something so special about postseason baseball. I hope this is a renaissance for the sport.
Some time ago a problem was presented to some smart guys. "Is there any way to make baseball into a slower game" It took them 3 months to come up with their answer. "10 innings and 4 outs."
If you'd do 7 innings of 4 outs, you practically have the same number of outs, but would incentivize small ball cause you have an out more to work with to move runners and try to score.

I'll watch to maybe 10PM then head off to bed. Starting WS games after 8 is stupid. My kids never became baseball fans because the postseason games were too late for them to stay up and watch. They became football fans because they could stay up to watch the Superbowl.
Sweet dreams gramps
Can’t start before 5 on the West Coast because people are still getting off work
Football was a better game, but since online sports betting became legal practically everywhere, it's getting a little shady in a few circumstances
This was a great video! The details were on point. We are only 2 games into the world series and it has brought everything I have wished for and more!
Who's here after the walkoff grand slam
North vs. West. 2 biggest markets in baseball. MVP candidates. The prices were very much expected
As a vtuber fan and a baseball fan
I am 100% saying the gawr gura buff is real like any good baseball superstition and that the hololive crossover coinsided with the dodgers turning it around
5:19 you telling me…. A bat boy saved ohtanis historic season? Respect✊
This is the earliest video I’ve been to from Baseball Doesn’t Exist
I lost my mind when Freddie hit that grand slam in game one
FREEMAN WITH THE GRAND SLAM!!!!
Thanks for explaining WAR. I'm too lazy to look it up
Freeman walk-off grandslam Game 1... unreal
i am not a big baseball fan at all, but bought a stream service just to watch this series. no one pumped me up, i was just like “yankees vs. dodgers World Series? I’m in”
Bro just predicted Freddie’s grand slam
I love your videos man you always know exactly what it is about baseball that makes me feel the way I do about it, and hit those notes exactly to pump me up and turn me into the closest it is possible to get as an adult into the state of being required to be but also granted by being a boy who is a baseball fan. It's a mystical place lol where superstition rules and magic absolutely can and will happen at some point. I can still feel that "touch em all Joe, you'll never hit a bigger one" call and jumping as joyously as Carter was. I guess the dream is to never have to leave that innocent and joyous existence of pure joy that men who are wealthy beyond measure seem to exhibit if they're lucky. Lucky enough to be surrounded by a machine designed to enable them to just do anything they want to do as long as they do not put themselves in danger of physical harm. It must be a life man.
There needs to be a cap, to much money being spent
I haven’t watched baseball in over 15 years, but there’s just something so special about postseason baseball. I hope this is a renaissance for the sport.
I love seeing these 2 small market, frugal teams in the WS. Warms my heart.
How can you not love these boys hahahaha 9:01
You never fail to keep it interesting!
Bot account
Don't forget everyone hate watching. Both teams have a LOT of rivals.
WALK OFF GRAND SLAM ARE YOU JOKING!??!?
Freeman was blitzed while playing? What a blast that must have been.
Some time ago a problem was presented to some smart guys. "Is there any way to make baseball into a slower game" It took them 3 months to come up with their answer. "10 innings and 4 outs."
If you'd do 7 innings of 4 outs, you practically have the same number of outs, but would incentivize small ball cause you have an out more to work with to move runners and try to score.
Love when he posts but debated about watching this one cause I LOATHE these two teams and thankfully will be out of the country for most of this
HOLY SHIT FREEMAN JUST HIT A WALKOFF GRANDSLAM TO WIN GAME 1 (just woke up)
Funny that Game 1 had such an insane ending that he's already changed the thumbnail to Freddie Freeman hot off his best Kirk Gibson impression
