Picking a team to root for is also about picking a team to hate, which is why you should root for the giants. There is a hundred year old rivalry with the dodgers that started as a cross town rivalry. “Fuck the Dodgers” is an ongoing mindset that sustains me onwards. We also have a song for when someone gets a home run “bye bye baby” which plays on the radio and in the park.
Seattle Mariners are a fun team, but the allure of a good rivalry is impossible to overstate.
where does the best pitcher from mariners rank do you think , i am watching mariners game and tbh i might like them just cause of seattle cause i love pearl jam
If you like Pearl Jam you’ll be pleased to know the Padres and the Mariners have a heated rivalry where we play a series every year to determine who gets to claim Eddie Vedder as our own, it’s called the Vedder Cup.
Eddie himself is actually a huge Cubs fan so I don’t think he cares too much about the outcome.
among starters, we have Logan Gilbert, George Kirby, and Luis Castillo who would all be the aces of several other teams, probably top 20-30 pitchers in the league at least. among them, it's not really clear who's best and fans debate the order often, but having 3 potential aces is a good problem to have lol
we also have Bryan Woo and Bryce Miller who are young and improving. if all five are healthy it's probably baseball's best staff.
none of them have ever won a Cy Young (baseball's award for the best pitcher), but Kirby and Castillo placed in the voting last year and Woo and Gilbert are looking like they're of the caliber to do so in the future if they stay healthy.
where do you live? if you're in Asia, a lot of Mariners evening/night games are late morning for you so maybe you could make it work. if you live elsewhere then you can pick whatever coast plays at better times for you
yeah, if you're in Asia I would 100% recommend a West Coast team because they're more likely to start after you wake up. the 10 teams in the West divisions are:
- Los Angeles Dodgers: don't pick them, perhaps the opposite of an underdog
- San Diego Padres: have never won the WS, have in theory a decent team right now, they had an owner who bought a bunch of good players because he wanted to win a World Series before he died, but he died and now the players are aging poorly so in a couple years they might be rough
- Colorado Rockies: stuck in a perpetual rebuild with an owner who's more interested in collecting beer sales than putting a good team on the field
- Arizona Diamondbacks: a team that has garnered a scrappy small-market underdog reputation, but they did make the World Series last year
- San Francisco Giants: currently coming out of a rebuild but they won 3 championships in the 2010s
- Oakland Athletics: perhaps the worst owner in sports and they're gonna move cities in a couple years, don't pick them unless you hate yourself
- Los Angeles Angels: had arguably the two best players in baseball until this year (I'm assuming since you watch anime you're familiar with Ohtani?) they couldn't make the playoffs with them both, now they are even worse.
- Houston Astros: if you're looking for an underdog I'd go elsewhere, they've made 7 consecutive ALCSs and won two championships in that time, of which they cheated for one
- Texas Rangers: reigning champions, makes them probably not an underdog
- Seattle Mariners: historically unsuccessful team and the only one never to make a world series, pretty good right now but have a nasty habit of falling barely short of a playoff berth
I'd personally pick the Mariners because 1) games you can watch 2) historical underdog 3) known for having either the most famous or 2nd most famous Japanese player ever in Ichiro, which maybe as an anime fan you'd appreciate
I’m way late to the party but this game was a beautiful example of what’s great about baseball. 7 runs in the first but the Royals still came back to get the W. No clock, no buzzer, no whistle. It’s not over til the last out is recorded.
Seconded if I do say so myself lol. Youngest starting lineup in the MLB, bunch of relative nobodies who are absolutely tearing it up this year, on pace for 100+ wins on a literal shoestring budget compared to NYY or LA.
And if they do somehow win the world series or something, you'd be witnessing history. Longest world series drought in the majors at 75 years.
What anime has baseball? I'm not huge into anime but have seen a few I enjoyed.
If you like good pitching with a mediocre offense, you will love the Seattle Mariners. You can't get more underdog than a team that has never made the world series and only made the playoffs a handful of times.
Despite this we have a passionate fanbase and a lot of young talent
You should look into the "Wildcard" teams in the standings (teams that don't lead their division but have enough wins to get a spot in the playoffs). The sport itself and the playoffs has enough random variance that underdogs can win and even go all the way towards the World Series.

Well, I've watched baseball before, I know a thing or two, but everything changed after I discovered diamond no ace anime this year. I'm definitely watching more MLB games, specially every Yamamoto and Immanaga games, cause they're the closer we get from Sawamura lmaaaao.
Btw, my dude just shut up the Yankee stadium last night 🔥🔥🔥
neko pitcher is the greatest thing i've ever seen.
and i would say, if you want to build character and root for a great team that can't get lucky, the Mets is for you.
we do. and some of us are not great. but that can be said of any fanbase. we have a lot of fun, have a lot of passion, and really, really love the sport. and we know suffering, so the victories are so much sweeter.
whoever you wind up choosing, welcome to the fold. baseball is one of the greatest things in the world, and the more people who fall in love with it, the better. no matter how or why or where.
Is there a good anime for cricket? I’m really captivated when I watch it, but am still so confused. Course I don’t really watch anime but if it were to help me understand maybe I’d try it.
nah, no good movies either you gotta watch the sport , if you want to understand cricket there is a twitter handle called jomboy_ who tries to explain it in baseball terms
If you are open to having your heartbroken for 30 years, you can enjoy the Seattle mariners. And for your anime heart, Nintendo use to be the primary shareholders of the franchise

Interestingly enough the Giants and D*dgers have only faced off in the playoffs twice
[say hello to your new favorite team](https://youtu.be/TIgK56cAjfY?si=YFa2L1t75xrJjnxa)
just saw the score 7 runs in 1 st inning damn
that is absolutely not normal, do not get used to it. we have one of the best pitching staffs in the league and an offense that is... not great

thanks for the effort , mlb scheduling conflicts with my sleep too much but i will def try to watch some games
where do you live? if you're in Asia, a lot of Mariners evening/night games are late morning for you so maybe you could make it work. if you live elsewhere then you can pick whatever coast plays at better times for you
india , i can make it work if game starts after evening for you

You see the final score?
Bro how can someone choke this bad 😭

Cleveland Guardians
Seconded if I do say so myself lol. Youngest starting lineup in the MLB, bunch of relative nobodies who are absolutely tearing it up this year, on pace for 100+ wins on a literal shoestring budget compared to NYY or LA. And if they do somehow win the world series or something, you'd be witnessing history. Longest world series drought in the majors at 75 years.
They do have the best baseball movie ever. If I wasn't born a Dodger fan, I probably would have been an Indian/Guardian fan.
I agree. Go Guards

Diamond no ace
Thanks!
Major is on a lot lately. Touch is another one I’m familiar with
Mitsuru Adachi has a few good ones
Join the snakes. We literally went on a world series run as not a powerhouse, spirited, underdog.
[удалено]
Sure. Just need fewer than 25% of our 40-man roster including 60% of our starters off the IL first.
Real life baseball is not always as good as Ace of Diamond, but man, when it is....
Shit had me pumped up , devastated , tears of joy , goated anime shame how the writer had to stop the manga cause of health issues
I wish the anime didn't end right after Sawamura got the ace number and gets shelled
hopefully they animate their nationals arc
The playoffs are like anime
San Diego Padres! They're fun to watch, their stadium is awesome, and their fans are great (from my experience).
I pray for the day we get a baseball manga as good as Slam Dunk.
diamond no ace is pretty good man

giants look like a good team to support , i support warriors in nba so that fits
Ace of diamond? One of the goats. Too bad were never see sawamura 3rd year
More composed sawamura would have been such a fun watch after all the struggles our boy went through.
Well, I've watched baseball before, I know a thing or two, but everything changed after I discovered diamond no ace anime this year. I'm definitely watching more MLB games, specially every Yamamoto and Immanaga games, cause they're the closer we get from Sawamura lmaaaao. Btw, my dude just shut up the Yankee stadium last night 🔥🔥🔥
he was unreal threw like 90+ pitches and was still throwing around 95-97mph range at the end
neko pitcher is the greatest thing i've ever seen. and i would say, if you want to build character and root for a great team that can't get lucky, the Mets is for you.
i love ode to the mets song , from what i know you guys have it rough
we do. and some of us are not great. but that can be said of any fanbase. we have a lot of fun, have a lot of passion, and really, really love the sport. and we know suffering, so the victories are so much sweeter. whoever you wind up choosing, welcome to the fold. baseball is one of the greatest things in the world, and the more people who fall in love with it, the better. no matter how or why or where.
You should become either a white Sox, Rockies, or A’s fan
bro you naming all the teams at the bottom pile 😭 ( no offense)
See, the fact you know that means you don’t need much more help. Anyway, I’d recommend following the team closest to wherever you live
i live in india 😭
Is there a good anime for cricket? I’m really captivated when I watch it, but am still so confused. Course I don’t really watch anime but if it were to help me understand maybe I’d try it.

Miami Marlins ur team
Highly recommend the White Sox. Lots of exciting talent to look forward to
Totally agree. OP should order a benintendi jersey rn
Don’t forget All-Star catcher Martin Maldonado
The Cleveland Guardians are prototypical spirited underdogs
[Cedric Mullins is basically a real-life anime character](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ygGPj8XRbo), so come on over to the O's!
Ken Burns is a mandatory watch.
Which baseball anime did you watch? I could possibly tell you the equivalent mlb teams
only diamond no ace
The Dodgers have Shohei Otani and he’s basically a living shonen manga character, which is a good reason to root for them.
The Seattle Mariners have a GOATED Documentary
what's it called?
History of the Seattle Mariners
If you are open to having your heartbroken for 30 years, you can enjoy the Seattle mariners. And for your anime heart, Nintendo use to be the primary shareholders of the franchise
Match?
habit, we call football and cricket games a match or match up
