I’m an Angels fan living in AZ, and during the 2021 season the Angels were in town playing the DBacks and Ohtani pitched the first game of the series, and I was planning on going until my Dad and I found out it was Pride Night at the ballpark. I didn’t end up going and I missed seeing him that day during his MVP season because the League decided to pander to a demographic that is not even close to majority of fans.
Having Ben on has made me a subscriber. Props for the balls to do this. Love this. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
They are part of the Daily Wire. You can see the DW logo on some vids
@@tarzn_worx I was unaware. Thanks for that. 👍

As a non American having moved to the United States, I see now the charm for baseball, the way Ben explained it. I come from India where Cricket rules unabated. Each generation has their own "Gods" of cricket , but there is a inheritance of respect and knowledge about the Gods of yore, typically passed on from father to son. Women appreciate cricket equally but they are usually in love with the players, whereas men dissect and analyze the game and therefore, each stroke, each ball, each catch is etched into the memory of the men of a generation that saw it. So when I see a boomer wax eloquent about Roger Clemens or Barry Bonds I can see the eagerness to pass on the legends to amateur viewers. That is priceless. This tradition should not be destroyed with wokeness.
Unfortunately the 2 players that you mentioned used steroids so they won't be elected into the HOF. ⚾
The only type of ball Shapiro has ever played with is dangling between his legs.
Sorry, but you have your generations slightly mixed up. A Boomer would likely be waxing eloquent about Mickey Mantle and Sandy Koufax (for older Boomers) or Hank Aaron and Tom Seaver (for younger Boomers who missed Mantle & Koufax).The youngest Boomers were about 20 during Clemens' rookie season in 1984, and 22 during Bonds' rookie season in 1986. Clemens and Bonds themselves barely qualify as Boomers. The people who grew up watching them during their childhood obviously wouldn't be Boomers since those people are younger than Clemens and Bonds.
This mistake is understandable considering that baseball is new to you, and it may just be that you lack historical knowledge of baseball. However, far too many use the term Boomer without knowing what a Boomer is. They were born between 1944-1964.
Thanks, buddy.
I'll check out more cricket now. 😎👍🏻
The only balls Ben ever played with are those two little raisins dangling between his legs.
great video ya'll, first time viewer. awesome conversation.
i really like this new sports side the dailywire is taking, surely will be tuning in regularly.
I’ve always loved baseball until 2020 and 2021. I didn’t watch one game this past season. Only watched the playoffs and was guarded while doing it.
How about just watch the game and keep politics out everyone?🤷♂️
I know crazy thought, right?!
A huge problem for me when it comes to baseball is the crazy amount of trades it seems like as soon as you get to like a guy he’s out and playing against you
True.
Popular? It’ll never bring in money as efficiently as the NFL. But, if they want families to come out on a consistent basis they gotta listen to Ben. More America less neutering the sport with idiotic ghost runners and pitch clocks
Hard disagree on mainstreaming steroids in baseball my guy- I prefer the game clean
What does clean even mean? What about all the other cutting edge sports "therapies" and "nutrition" that are totally acceptable with only a small degree of difference between those and steroids?
What if they did allow you before of after the game to get on the field with you son or daughter to pass the ball or run the bases? I’d be there…
Could at least offer field passes for sale
They do that at Minor League parks.
Just want to point out how at yesterday's Oregon vs BYU, the crowd was chanting "F** the Mormons" on national TV. It's a shame that's not getting the coverage the Duke volleyball player got.
When I learned how to keep score in my softball league by properly usinqg an official score sheets and reading the rules to the game, the game became much more interesting. I started keeping score for my team and quickly was recruited to keep score for the softball league and the boys baseball league. There was no money, but I got all the free hotdogs Chile-Frito boats, and suicide sodas I ever wanted. Plus I knew every player in both league.
Being able to throw on the field after the game sounds like an insanely awesome idea. It might be really hard with how many people would want to do it since the field would prolly be really crowded but to me I love it.
They do it at minor league games all the time.
People want to see the MLB have a balance of long ball and small ball. We want to see less analytics and more old school managers. Analytics did ruin the sport. You’ll never see another 300 game winner or even 250. You’ll never see another 3000 hitter. Stolen bases are non existent. Batting averages have taken a backseat to on base percentage, exit velocity, and launch angles. We are paying guys millions of dollars to hit below .230 but they get paid because they hit 30 plus home runs! This game needs drastic changing on a fundamental level.
I worked in scorekeeping/analytics at the MiLB level. Analytics didn't ruin the sport. It opened it up for nerds who knew nothing about baseball to horn in and be given an equal voice to those who DO, based simply on them knowing how to read the analytics. The concept of WAR is an absolute joke. You can tell whether a person is able to engage in a serious discussion of a sport based on whether they believe in WAR. Then you see if they're smart enough to realize that sometimes the larger, old-school stat they're breaking down is MORE useful than the micro-stat.
We'll see another 3000-hit guy. He'll most likely be a Biggio kind of guy who built up so much good will with the organization - or who knows where all the steroid skeletons are buried - that it allows him to limp over that bar years after they should have gotten rid of him, but there will be that guy. A 300-game winner is obviously worth more doubt.
I think the about the only useful things that have come from the Moneyball era are outs being more valuable than bases (hence less stealing) and throwing your best reliever when there are 9 outs left to get, rather than just 3 or 6. Most of the rest has basically been, "Yeah. We've known that since the '60s" kind of stuff. Today's sabermetricians honestly believe they're the first people to have seriously looked at OBP. And maybe if they grew up playing and watching baseball, rather than just reading the backs of the cards, they'd know that people have broken down vs. L and vs. R for at least a century.
This was so good
Every time I’d hear “ take me out to the ball game” I always pictured asking my dad to go watch the baseball game no lies told
You look like you just heard someone tell you the dumbest story ever.
Forget about "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?", now it can be "Are you smarter than Britney Griner?"
Isn't that kind of lowering the bar a bit?
NFL is growing huuuuugely in Brazil. Maybe the third most watched sport here (after soccer and volleyball).
I’m worried about hockey going into politics, but you all should talk about it more
YES! YES! HELL YES! Been saying it since they started the show. Hockey is going to be a hard one to shoe horn all the wokeness the NBA has. To many cultures from to many areas that keep to many ties to their home countries. Considering how competitive leagues outside the US are getting you could be looking to have a mass exodus of players in favor of know bending of the knee to ideology they may not agree with.
Ben: NASCAR, why are you steering into cultural progressivism?
Because in NASCAR, you always steer left!🤪
1. Run the races backwards
2. Profit
Think what makes baseball so interesting is the mindgames of the pitcher and catcher vs the batter. baseball is sorta hard to understand because the batting box is hard to observe. Like yall said its a stats game. Also I will say baseball has good stadium vibes.
Baseball needs to be 100% family formatted and made as economic as possible...if it was like a night to dinner or bowling or an average activity I would personally go weekly if possible
There may be an issue there, though. It's an uncomfortable one to discuss, but how many
White fans are going to be in the stands once the price is low enough for Hispanic fans to flood it? Again, you hate bringing it up, but I believe it's a reality.
On the other hand, if it incrementally becomes a reality, then those fans have a chance to get used to each other over a number of years until they hit that final ratio.
@@AJHart-eg1ys you sound like a racist
@@AJHart-eg1ys white families can't get along with Hispanics...how the hell does a baseball team play the game if that's the case...how bout segregation?
As long as Rob Manfred is the commissioner, baseball will continue to die a slow and painful death.
I have no problem with baseball current play but I do believe they need a 16 team playoff.
Really feel like this episode is missing the input of the traffic cone. You guys should talk to Blain about splitting time with it
Ben, for the most part, is right. I don't want political ideologies thrown in my face while watching America's past time with my father (who is now deceased). Red Sox - take note.
Agree LIV golf has gotten the PGA Tour to innovate
sports, kitting, star wars, painting, writing, publishing, tech development, fandom, everthing is taken over by a single ideology

When it comes to the v'ac, at least back in the days of the delta and alpha stains, it was a case where for the sake of one and all, _everybody_ had to do it. It was not practical for persons to decide that he or she could forgo the v'ac. An analogy could be made to seat belt laws. Everyone has to wear a seat belt when driving. There could not be an exception for the good driver, or the driver was only driving down the block, etc.
This^ would be true if the gene therapy actually prevented contraction or spread of the virus. Even if you believe that the gene therapy works as a symptom mitigator, me taking it or not taking it affects you not at all.
@@Tim_the_Enchanter If the v'ac works as a symptom mitigator (and it does), then requiring its use would reduce the number of those infected across the population.
I agree that everyone loves home runs, but fundamentally disagree with the idea that that's the only thing people want to see. I really want to see more in field play. Home runs should be a rare thing, it's a team sport and I want to see the whole team working together to get the ball to first or second.
"Team sport" is the correct answer here - the reason why I have no interest in basketball much anymore is because the whole sport has become all about how you can build a team around 1 player. I feel like Lebron would rather go out and play by himself than play with a team. Michael Jordan wouldn't have been as great as he was without Pippin backing him up.
Baseball had a chance in southeast asia but they shut it down because they dont want the homegrowns to be overshadowed. 20 years later they are now trying to re enter a market where no one likes them because they got shunned before.
For better or for worse nationalism and national pride is really important in European soccer. I would say soccer is not as woke as American sports.
Two things need to change nerf the ball for more in field action and two move the pitchers mound back
👍
I know DW hates soccer....but please please please please bring on someone who can cover soccer 🙏
It's actually not too woke. Especially Italian Serie A soccer
Baseball needs three inning games that go to overtime in the fourth inning, like India did for Cricket making it 20/20 this would make the whole thing more exciting. There would be so much management of pitchers and by the fourth inning its super exciting after that because its sudden death and the game can still go on. extra innings games are always the best so get to the "extra innings" faster... oh and if you are not going to change anything go back to the radio - its not a tv game its a radio game - it sounds non stop and exciting when you do not see it. TV killed baseball it was made for a radio
It would drive all baseball fans away. I'm not sure how exciting it would be then. And no one likes to sit there and watch pitchers take warm-up pitches during a change. I'm not sure how much of this was tongue-in-cheek though.
Hockey is the ONLY professional sport I have watched since the nfl started allowing the part time crybabies to kneel for the National Anthem! This pandering to the lowest denominator in this country by these professional sports is unacceptable to me as a sports fan!
I just watch formula drift and bare fist fighting (ftf)
#1 thing to save baseball is obviously patriotism. Let other sports hate America. Be the one that appeals to people who love America unapologetically.
Before even thinking about freeing Britney Grinner, how about freeing the thousands of people locked up for weed in the US. Some with longer sentences the Brittney got. BTW she pled guilty.
🎯
Baseball is the best sport. The MLB should stay away from opinions and play the game.
The guy stage left is your prime example of a guy who can be involved with athletics for a decade or two and still not really "get it." His views on what fans want has been entirely shaped by ESPN - not from a perspective of a lifelong, intimate relationship to a sport.
I've been in the media for a few decades in major league and major D-1 towns, and have played/worked into MiLB. Fans didn't care about games historically ending 5-3, and they found the process of cobbling together runs - with the occasional home run - stimulating and suspenseful enough. It was the lure of fantasy dollars and other revenue streams that led MLB and the NFL to slouch toward Las Vegas and change the rules to cater toward bigger stat lines. Fan interest had nothing to do with it. Similarly in the NFL, no one was complaining that games were ending 20-13. But - as with MLB - we were told by every media source after the fact that "the fans want more scoring."
Leave Brittney Griner. She broke that countrys laws, thats on her
Didnt she kneel during the National anthem while in the US? Why should we bail her out?
True but rather we like it or not she is an American citizen that is being used as a political pond against the United States since we are helping ukrainians fight the Russians. That is a geopolitical embarrassment
I have not watched one second of ANY pro sports league in well over two years and will NOT be going back
They jumped on board will the whole covid fauxdemic and politicized their sports to a point that sickens many people. People watch sports for entertainment and to get away from the bullshit for a while and now most of the entertainment industry; sports,music or movies are front and center with nothing but bullshit. To hell with them.
same here! I've saved tons of money and I couldn't be happier! 👍🏾😊

First!
Approx. 8:00 - Permit steroid use? I'll use the same logic. There is a record number of eyeballs noticing Chicago these past few years as a result of its record-setting numbers of lethal shootings. Isn't it about time we just accept it and make lethal shootings legal in Chicago?
Terrible, irrelevant analogy. Whats the difference between steroids and all the other cutting edge "therapies" and "nutrition" that are allowed but really no different?
@@prasad530 There is a GREAT difference between steroids and the other ways of potentially improving performance. And with every generation of banned substance, we move one more step away from "the good stuff." The days of Twinlab andro were truly wild. :)
It's also important to note that athletes ARE allowed to have heightened levels of various substances in their systems, to a certain point. Think of it this way. In a 60 mph zone, you and I will likely start to have to worry about being pulled over once we hit 65 or so. In that same zone, an athlete can be going about 85 or 90 before he's open to be pulled over.
Something to keep in mind the next time you hear about one getting busted. He has to have a LOT of something in his blood/piss before the red flags go up.
Take care.
@@AJHart-eg1ys But what IS the difference...It seems to me to be a difference in degree, not kind, and then where do you draw the line?
@@prasad530 I mean, the difference between the benefit of caffeine and HGH is a matter of degree.
It appears that people aren't realizing that they are throwing their hands up on an issue involving a substance that is not necessary at all regarding the playing of a sport. In certain healing and recovery processes, yes. To just play the game? No.
There has been an established standard that takes that into account. Why do so many people even have an opinion on whether it should be enforced?
It's basically as petty as them not believing that their guys do it and they have felt victimized by those who famously have broken the rules, yet instead of supporting strict enforcement they actually favor just allowing everyone to do it, when there's no reason to do so.
So they equivocate and try to muddy the waters, claiming that caffeine and HGH are both PEDs, so should be treated the same, etc. Again, people need to look inside and ask themselves why they oppose the simple application of a perfectly sane rule prohibiting substances that have been proven to potentially do great harm to the person taking them. And we know it trends down to the high school level.
If people are concerned about the popularity of baseball, legalize use of PEDs like anabolic steroids and HGH and see how expedited the decline becomes. Those old white men who are the stereotype baseball fans don't take with allowing steroid use. And the sport cannot survive living off the hispanic population alone.
Take care.
@@AJHart-eg1ys Thanks for the thoughtful response. To be clear, I'm not necessarily advocating for the allowance of HGH, but I do think the line is much less clear than you argue. It is a logical fallacy to argue that just because there has been a standard in the past, that standard should remain in the future. Harm is a very subjective thing, and there is a fine argument that an individual should be able to choose their own risk tolerance. I would guess that playing NFL football is probably much worse long term than taking a course of PEDs, and yet we are fine with players risking their lives in that way. Sure, the degree between caffeine and HGH may be great, but LeBron James reportedly spends a million dollars a year on his body, and no doubt some of those treatments are far closer, if not on the same level, as HGH. Health aside, as a consumer, professional sports are more entertaining the more physically capable the participants are. This is why, in general, women's sports are less compelling than men's. I think you are factually wrong about popularity decline from steroids: the height of baseball interest was probably the home run chase of McGwire and Sosa, and the height of cycling was when Armstrong was crushing it - while all of them were doping, and the consumer cares cares less how they got there, and more about the thrill of the performance.
I agree that players should be able to use steroids. Because they take it anyway, and gives them an unfair advantage.
Baseball is great the way it is. We don't need steroids, wtf man. Go watch the UFC. ⚽️ is the world's most popular, watched, and played sport. Baseball should follow suit and stay the same.
Our family no longer watches nfl, nba, or mlb. We watch NHL, because they don’t try and kiss the ass of the woke crazy left. I grew up idolizing NBA/NFL/MLB players, so it saddened me to let it go, but my country and my values of truth are infinitely more important.
And now the NHL tweeted about diversity and all that mess 😂... that's ok, I've saved SO much money by dropping my NFL & NBA followings. Plus, my kids & I have picked up some new hobbies together, now that I refuse to watch the woke sport leagues, so it's wins all-around!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Ben Shapiro, talking about sportss? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAJAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAJAJAHAHAHAHA
Next year's MLB rule changes should help the game. More in play balls, better pace of play
the time clock is the only good thing
I understand the idea behind baseball a.k. family values. Other then that I struggle to understand the appeal of chasing some kind of a ball inside a square box.
I think baseball survives on the fact it has history, and kids played it growing up. If a guy was brought in from Siberia and was sat down in a box seat on the 3rd base side, he would be bored to tears.
Like football, basketball and soccer?
ok I'm out
DeShaun Watson is innocent. People don't just change overnight. He didn't move to Texas and become a jackass. He had a stellar reputation here in Clemson and our coach Dabo is an EXCELLENT judge of character, and he would have known if funny business was going on.
You're adorable.
It's easier to fool someone than convince him he's been fooled.....
I didn't know you knew DeShaun personally.
@@TJ-um8ce I would say to not trust a person's opinion if he has not yet recognized that Dabo Swinney is a bit of a charlatan who frequently appears insincere when speaking publicly. 🤣
I would agree on one thing, though. Watson probably didn't change when he went to Texas. As they say about money: It doesn't change you. It just allows you more opportunity to be who you truly are.
Fixing baseball? Nekid women
Instead of Shapiro, get real American Klay Travis on the show!!!! Klay actually knows sports and is anti-WOKE!!!!
Clay also offers some very disjointed - if not ridiculous - solutions and misreads the issue at least 1/4 of the time because he's not ... I don't want to say "smart enough" ... but he tends to only see one layer deeper than most do on issues that are at least 3-4 layers deep, and that one layer is enough for him to stop digging.
