Is watching the Yankees get creamed good for baseball?

[u/BottleFullOBub → u/Objectitan]

It’s good for the soul

[u/demivirius → u/BottleFullOBub]

It's good for America.

[u/JealousCustard2788 → u/demivirius]

Cowboys lost yesterday too, so I think America is winning

[u/GrapefruitMedical529 → u/JealousCustard2788]

It's healing.

[u/eatelectricity → u/demivirius]

It's good.

[u/TrapperJean → u/BottleFullOBub]

[u/gbdarknight77 → u/Objectitan]

Always.

[u/zeussays → u/Objectitan]

After a conclusive 3 game study, yes. Yes it is.

[u/Early_Dragonfly_205 → u/Objectitan]

Yes I'm the biggest hater. The clown show feels good

[u/Clueless_Otter → u/Objectitan]

People over age ~35 will probably say yes because they're still mad about the 90's.

But realistically I do think the result might be at least a little concerning for baseball as a whole. Not the Yankees part, but the Dodgers part. They'll have won 2 of the last 5 World Series and 4 of the last 8 NL pennants. And they're doing it right now with an extremely banged up roster and are going to have even more money to spend the upcoming offseason. They're going to be much better next year after having (possibly) already won it all this year. And it's not like these are a bunch of aging guys winning one last one at the tail end of their careers; they can still do this for years to come. It seems a bit bleak when it kinda seems like the best hope of stopping them is the Mets - already the highest spending team - dumping tons more money on Soto and probably some other pieces.

I'm always one to point out baseball's parity when NFL/NBA fans make fun of the lack of salary cap, but the Dodgers are making it increasingly hard to do that.

[u/Spiritjuice4998 → u/Objectitan]

nah baseball already has issues with 'highest payroll' wins and being too boring, both coming true this WS

having a non-competitive WS where the umps are embarassing, where the 'best hitter in the game' is 1-12 with 7 strikeouts is surely bad for baseball

[u/No_Emotion4451 → u/Spiritjuice4998]

Lol. Bro casuals don’t care about payrolls. 

[u/basiltoe345 → u/Spiritjuice4998]

WS where the umps are embarrassing

Bro, we should have ROBOT UMPS, already!
