I know that, so does Washington, but the Red Sox have a bigger following than the Astros and Nationals combined.

NHL has been super guilty of this for many years.


NHL is a victim of expansion and salary caps. The product is watered down, imo

Astros and Nationals have a combined 1 World Series between the 2 franchises. Cardinals vs Yankees would have been lit

MLB does a fine job at promoting its product, it sucks at promoting its players.... they focus more on the teams and rivalries than the individual players because one player can not dictate a game the way he can in football or the NBA

Despite what this board tells you, not a lot of people want to watch the Astros.

No it wouldn't have because the Cardinals were terrible. Yankees would have swept your arse twice over.

I know a lot of people that dont want to watch the shitty Cubs.

Took them 100 years to do what the Astros did in 55 years.

osuna and gurriel and taubman arent the most popular people in baseball and that's before we get into the fact that a bunch of people in baseball think the Astros are incredibly sketchy when it comes to stealing signs

MLB does a bad job of promoting its players. You would think that Verlander/Upton would be a big national draw considering their sex tape and photos.

If you turn on mlb central on the tv or listen to mlb network radio they devote an inordinate amount of time to the AL East and when they are eliminated then they are screwed. If you can’t market this series the problem isnt with the teams it’s with marketing


In other words..........frick the Yankees

Taubman is certainly appearing to be a dickhead, I will agree with that.

Osuna served his 80 game suspension last year and has been pretty quiet and a model citizen since. It isn't like he is outspoken or anything.

And Gurriel had his deal with Darvish 2 years ago, did his 5 game suspension, and has also been pretty quiet since then.
