People want smaller market teams to get a fair shot and then complain when that World Series sucks

It was a snooze fest because it ended 4-1. People forget that series was tied going back to Arizona until they completely folded at home for some reason. And quite frankly, AZ did not belong there in the first place. They got hot at the right time and because of that they knocked out Milwaukee and LA (the two teams playing as we speak). Furthermore, AZ has not been back to the playoffs since then. And I say all this as a Dbacks fan. So no, small markets had nothing to do with it.

And for the record, I could not tell you a single thing that happened in the 24 series other than the fact that the dodgers won.

It was a snooze fest cause it was a WS literally nobody was asking for, almost everyone wanted Yankees and Dodgers, far more memorable than that 23 WS from two fluke ass teams

It doesn’t matter how many people “want” a series, if there’s good baseball being played people will watch. In the case of both 23 and 24, there was not very good baseball being played. Dbacks ran out of steam after mainly getting carried by a hot offense, and the Yankees were just the Yankees.

Both teams from 24 played great baseball the whole season, 23 WS both played mid as hell but just got hot at the right moment, nobody wants to see that from small market teams.

Sure but the Yankees choked and got shit on. And again, market size and payroll and shit still has nothing to do with anything. You can’t just say small market automatically = boring and bad. Would you say that Milwaukee, Tampa, and Cleveland are flukes? Milwaukee and Tampa were the best teams in their leagues. You could say that Cleveland just had a bad division but coming back down 2-0 in the ALDS was no easy feat, and they’re currently trading haymakers with that said Tampa team.

In fact, the only thing about this year that’s a snooze fest is how the Yankees and dodgers play baseball, and the results are reflective of that. Nobody wants to watch guys walk up and either strike out or hit a home run over and over again. That’s why the Yankees got shit on, and why the dodgers are on the verge of elimination. The dodgers only beat the braves because they have the exact same flaws as them offensively, but had better pitching available.
