What's going on, dude?

Not much. How are you? I'm good. I was just devastated about the Mariners. Yeah, I watched that last night. I was rooting for you guys. I wanted the Dodgers to face Seattle in the World Series, you know, but here we are. It looked pretty good for a bit. It looked like, oh, wow, dude, they might do it. But I didn't have a great feeling. I told people in the bar, even on Friday night, I'm like, I don't have a great feeling about this. And it's my feeling turned out to be correct in this case. Well, they needed to win, they needed to win game six, you know, because they went in there and won the first two on the road in Toronto and then dropped two out of three at home in expectly and I told my dad like Seattle has a chance to

to win this series if they win game six but they're not going to win a game seven on the road

with that crowd there's just no way and it's like yeah that's yeah don't understand, and I don't know if I agree with this whole.

I mean, I guess there's scientific proof that away games are harder than home games.

But I don't understand why.

Why?

Yeah, it's less, it's less, I don't know this for sure, but I'm guessing that it's less important in baseball than a sport like basketball.

As basketball, the fans are right there.

You can hear them.

Like the players and the fans can talk to one another from 10 feet away.

Yeah, but why does that matter?

Like when I would go, obviously I wasn't a professional volleyball player, but when I would go

and play an away game at another school and they're all rooting for us, it just fired me up,

like more than being home.

I remember hearing like Larry Bird or somebody from the old Boston Celtics talking about

Boston Garden because they had

that parquet floor that different kind of looking basketball court floor. And there were certain

little like not tiles but slats of wood that were like loose. Yeah. So like the guys on the Celtics

would know like if you dribble it on this one, it's going to it's going to hit the little crack and,

you know. So like familiarity with the I can see that being in baseball too is that the outfield is different in every park. It's the, how far the, the fence is, how high it is. Yeah. Some parks favor hitters more than others depending on weather conditions and stuff.

But I'm guessing if you look at any baseball team, their home record is going to be way better than their away.
