So you can't always say the 2 best will meet each other, however with a little help from MLB (taking a play out of that crook Goodell's playbook) still pretty sure it will happen this year, no matter how hard the Yankees try and choke it away.

MLB tipped it's hand when they had a Postseason commercial featuring ONLY Judge and Ohtani, they aired that too soon (in the first round). Only the smart people (like me) caught that.

But for now let's just enjoy....

I don't get the point. The two most popular players heading into the playoffs, why not feature them in a commercial?

I don't recall seeing any commercials the past 10-20 years only showing 2 players when talking about the postseason. You have all these teams in the post season and you show only 2 players.

Why not show Bryce Harper, he's at least as popular as Judge and Ohtani, if not moreso.

It was just a small piece of the puzzle. Then came the terrible calls in the Yankees first playoff game all going their way, the next piece of the puzzle, very bad call favoring the Dodgers in their first game, yet another piece..

We'll see if either of the 2 remaining Series get close enough and then we'll see the calls.

Most of you are acting like I said EVERY call is going to go for the Dodgers and Yankees, never said that. Let's just keep on watching, and for those who took my advice when I said bet the Dodgers and Yankees to make it to the Series you're welcome, enjoy your extra cash, MLB will be doing the same.

Judge and Ohtani are the respective megastars of each league this season. Nobody else was close. This isn't hard to understand, it doesn't signal a conspiracy.

The problem with what you’re saying is that if the Yankees win you’ll claim you knew it all along and if the Yankees lose you’ll talk about how they choked. Both things can’t be true.

Also the ad you’re talking about came out after the Phillies had been eliminated. That might be why Harper wasn’t featured. Or there could be something larger at play.

It sounds like Moe is the kind of person who believes we never landed on the moon and that the 2020 election was stolen.

Wrong. But nice try bringing in things that have nothing to do with baseball. Stick to baseball genius.

And Packs nice try stating the the Judge Ohtani commercial was when the Phillies were out of the Playoffs, wrong!.......look at the date I started this thread, and I mentioned the commercial, were the Phillies in the Playoffs?.....yes there were.

Did anyone notice the brutal call in the bottom of the 9th to the Indians lead off hitter with the 3-2 count that resulted in strike 3 rather than ball 4?

I'm not saying I'm just saying.

This MLB commercial simultaneously predicts every team to win, just to cover all bases and all scenarios. I thought you might enjoy it.

Yes, that 3-2 call confirms you're right. All season long, no other call like that has been made.

Sure, should have been a ball, but it was about 1 inch off the corner and people somehow always forget the umpires don't have a convenient perfectly drawn box on their TV screen when they're calling balls and strikes.

Judge gets about 5 of those calls per game against him.

Just go to robot umps behind the plate, and this all goes away........as long as the same people complaining about these types of calls, aren't also up on their high horse about the "sanctity of the game" if it ever becomes a reality.
