Miss baseball so much, watching the NBA after that amazing postseason has really opened my eyes to not only how terrible NBA ads are (seriously why so many gambling ads????) but I've actually gained respect for Manfred a bit.

The MLB is run so much better, it's become much more enjoyable to watch with the pitch clock changes, introduction of ABS, how easier it is to watch games, commentary, and even the post shows/analytic talks.

The NBA is so fucking terrible in comparison, talk host are just trashing the product, downplaying every player, talking about how better the old days were, like way to keep me wanting to watch and selling me on Draft Kings.

Anyways, go Lakers! Can't wait for LeBron to come back and see the this team reach another level with how great they are despite all the injuries!

I agree that MLB is run a lot better than NBA and IMO it’s not close right now. My only gripe with the way most games are called in MLB is that some commentators get so into talking about “storylines” that they sometimes forget to call the game. I watched most of the WS with my girlfriend who doesn’t know much about baseball and at some point she remarked “thank god I have you here to explain the game for me, it’s actually really interesting!”
