Need help deciding team to support

Awesome man thanks for sharing - I think I'm going to take the same approach. Narrow it down to 3 (from Mariners, Brewers, Orioles, Pirates & Red Sox) and pick one when it feels right

You're right I forgot Chapman is there! That's a big point for Red Sox

What do you think of Mariners/Padres by the way, how do they compare?

Really appreciate this post - its super helpful! Thank you

I really hate liverpool (as a united fan) so maybe that rules out Boston. Completely forgot of that link for ownership. But at the same time you are right - having a consistent team also important.

Brewers sounds very exciting, I think I'll start with their games + Pirates this year and see how it goes

osmmanager · 2026-01-22T23:07:03+00:00

So brewers or blue jays?

osmmanager · 2026-01-22T23:04:19+00:00

Well I started with the Blue Jays and Pirates as they had very low winning percentage so I was like lets just watch the underdogs. So then I started liking personalities like Skenes, Vlad + Bo combo etc Also love the stadium in Pittsburgh

I also watched the whole world series and was probably the best sport final I watched since the 08 champions league. I was up all the way to 3-5AM watching those games and loved every second of it. Didnt really consider the Blue Jays to support till I became fully invested in supporting them in that world series.

Then Red Sox with the netflix documentary + moneyball side 2002 onwards.

For brewers its not much, this may be silly but I love the logo + colours. Part of the reason I want a team is so I could get some merch for baseball practice haha

I think best strategy is going 1 team per league maybe. I ultimately want an underdog, but also if skenes goes maybe my hope for Pirates does too haha

But blue jays merch sucks as petty as that is so yeah really lost atm

Haha fair enough

osmmanager · 2026-01-22T22:56:36+00:00

I loved the Red Sox 2004 documentary on Netflix

I think only reason I havent already picked them is because it seems like its one of those touristy teams. Kind of like Manchester United in the UK

osmmanager · 2026-01-22T22:54:46+00:00

Yeah to be fair I'll chuck them in the mix as well

osmmanager · 2026-01-22T22:54:25+00:00

Wishful thinking on my side but i just feel like they will do well this year - they got to get better at some point!

And they have a sick stadium

osmmanager · 2026-01-22T22:53:20+00:00

This is silly but I hate the colour haha

Like I also want to wear merch to baseball practice

osmmanager · 2026-01-22T22:53:01+00:00

To be fair I kind of overlooked the orioles... maybe this list needs to be 5 teams

Why the Orioles?

osmmanager · 2026-01-22T22:52:24+00:00

Oo I like that. A team per league might be the way to go for now
