The Dodgers Are About To Change Baseball FOREVER | HARD PASS Ep. #59

The Dodgers just went back to back and the baseball world is LOSING it. The billion-dollar question … have the Dodgers ruined baseball? Or do other owners just need to step up to the plate and spend money instead of crying about it?

Doug Kezirian breaks down the real conversation behind LA’s dominance. Is it unfair? Are we headed for a lockout next year? Is baseball broken, or are other owners just cheap? Doug dives into payrolls, star power, why the “small market” excuses need to stop, and why investing in your roster isn’t a crime ... it’s what winning franchises do.

From Bryce Harper calling out excuses, to teams choosing not to spend, Doug explains why the Dodgers aren’t the problem, lazy owners are. At the end of the day, everyone gets the same number of players, the same number of outs, and the same chance to compete.

Do you think the Dodgers going back to back is bad for baseball, or do other teams simply need to spend more and take winning seriously? Drop your take in the comments and don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe to stay tapped in with the biggest conversations in sports.

“The Dodgers are doing things the RIGHT way… don’t blame the Dodgers, blame the other owners!” — Doug Kezirian
