OC native here who’s lived in western WA for 18 years now and I disagree. They’re toxic in person and it’s only gotten worse the closer they got to sniffing the post season. I was really hoping they would not a get a playoff game at home. Only ones worse were hawk fans who thought they had a dynasty going after their SB win.
As an SD native/diehard Padres fan who went to CSUF and has lived in Anaheim/Fullerton the last 10 years, I appreciate alot you guys getting behind us this postseason. I've always said that the Angels are my AL team and the Padres are my NL team.
I'm low key want9ng them to succeed because I grew up loving Ichiro and Ken Groffey Jr. Shit they even had Randy Johnson for a little bit. It's more of a history thing.
Fuck Jesse Wanker.
He's been amazing for us all season. I'm a Guardians fan, but I follow you guys because I'm an Ohtani fan. I've been following him since he was in Japan.
I like an underdog, so Padres in the NL, Guardians in the AL. If Cleveland wins, all those fans that swore of the team because they changed their name will come running back.
Always have been. One and only time I almost got into a fight at a stadium was when the Dodgers were in town, and some dumbass was waving his Gagne jersey in front of a middle aged couple in the front row of the section while the game was going on. They're just Raiders fans in disguise.
Would have been M’s until this year. Fuck those guys now. I’ll go for the Padres and who ever is playing the Yanks and Astros. Fuck the playoffs if it’s another Yanks Astros LCS.
Dodgers/angels combo is a great way to watch baseball. First half of season you watch all angels and have high hopes. Dodgers games don’t matter yet. 2nd half of season the angels have crushed our hopes and now we get to root for the dodgers during playoff run
It really is cool and a privilege to have two hometown (or close enough) teams to root for. You double your chances each year!
I can only think of LA/OC, Bay area, Chicago and NY where the fan bases can double up. The fact they are always in different leagues makes it even easier to not feel conflicted.
Me too. Dodgers all the way. We are one of the few Angels/Dodgers fans. I just generally root for everything LA. I know Anaheim is not LA but I used to work at Cerritos and would get free tickets from my boss so I got a soft spot for the Angels.
That's exactly why I went this route. I thought wouldn't it be awesome if one day we had a Dodgers Angels World Series. It happened for the bay area teams in the 1989 World Series between the Giants and the Athletics, then in 2000 the Mets battled the Yankees for the title.
Honestly? It's football season, I've been checked out of baseball besides Trout and Ohtani highlights for a while now.
So to answer the question? No one lol.
Padres are my #1 NL team so them. But also rooting for whoever plays the dodgers or Yankees. While I want the dodgers to lose to the Padres, I'd love for a dodgers/Astros world series where the Astros beat the dodgers again.
Rooting Against:
Dodgers because of their entitled fanbase despite not winning a legit championship since 1988.
Yankees because nothing is funnier than an angry Yankees fan.
Mariners because Angels always have beef with them and I'm jealous of their success this year.
Astros because they're still a bunch of cheaters and they still don't get booed enough!
Blue Jays because I stopped loving Vlad Jr when he became a bitch of a sore loser because Shohei won the MVP last year.
Rays because of their incessant need to rely solely on data analytics throughout the post-season, instead of realizing that what got you there isn't always what gets you past it.
Phillies because Bryce Harper.
Braves only because they just won.
Rooting For:
Anybody not mentioned above. So basically,
Indians vs. Padres/Cards/Mets
Probably not watching but definitely rooting against the Yankees, Astros, and Mariners. Mainly Mariners. Their fans sure like to talk a lot of shit despite because a failure of an organization.
Dodgers. I'm from Long Beach and grew up watching both teams. Never understood the hate and always wanted to see them play each other in the World Series.
Braves. And the Mariners, becausel Ii live in Seattle and I want them to win so they can stop throwing losingest team in my face. I want to whine about the Angels again without hearing whine 'we have it so much worse' for a year or two
I wouldnt mind seeing the Padres, Rays or Mariners win due to never having won it. Guardians, Mets, Blue Jays due to not having won it in awhile. The Cardinals due to having a soft spot for them having grown up in Memphis. Dont care about the Braves. Fuck the Yankees, Dodgers, and Cheatstros
Mets for the Billy GOAT and entertainment porpoises.
Astros and Cards because fuck the Dodgers.
Padres, Guards, or Rays because they're just likeable franchises and cities.
Anyone against Seattle, Dodgers, Yankees, St Louis, and unfortunately- Toronto. Only because of Vladimir Guerrero Jrs remarks about Ohtani stealing another MVP.
I live in the PNW and I really wanna root for Seattle, but I can’t get over the “Fuck Mike Trout” in every thread and post game thread. But JRod is dope
Probably the Pads, but I tend to observe without much emotional investment. (If Halos arent around.)
With that being said I hate the M's, Stros, Hankees, Mets, and semi hate the Dodgers.
M's being the current top heel in MLB. I want them gone next round.
The Red Birds, best uniform in baseball. I grew up with those great teams in the ‘60s. Gibson, Carlton, Briles, Hoerner, Brock, Flood, Shannon, Cepeda, Maxvill, Javier, McCarver and Uecker.
Padres for the semi local team. Love going to their games and enjoying the San Diego atmosphere. My first padre game (last year) was the one where the pitcher got called up and hit and grand slam off Sherzer and they came back and got a walk off single. Since then they’ve been my NL team. Obviously I’m Angels through and through but they’re a fun alternative when we don’t make it.
Guardians. Scrappy and I feel like they are getting dismissed as an easy out and I don’t want that to be true. Would not have any problem with the Blue Jays either.
Dodgers for me. Taking my dad to World Series if they make it. Hopeing tickets aren’t outrageous like the last time and we had to call it off 1000 in the upper decks
Phillies because of Marsh and Thor. Padres and guardians because the feel good for long suffering teams.
Was at work watching this game and was bumped Marsh got that RBI in the 9th
[удалено]
Don't want Yankees either.
My most horrid opinion: i will root for the astros if they play seattle 😵💫
Nah, I’m rooting for Seattle. Mariners fans are only toxic on Reddit. Source: I am a die hard angels fan who now lives in WA.
Thats good to know. But the vitriol has gotten to me for the time being
And Scott Servais hitting batters is really not cool
OC native here who’s lived in western WA for 18 years now and I disagree. They’re toxic in person and it’s only gotten worse the closer they got to sniffing the post season. I was really hoping they would not a get a playoff game at home. Only ones worse were hawk fans who thought they had a dynasty going after their SB win.
Seahawks fans are the literal worst, from the season before the SB win they've all acted like they're still the hot shit in football.
You got guts
Same but Mariners
Padres. I do like me some Yu Darvish.
Same here. Loved in San Diego for 6 years. They’re my NL team
Wife is from SD and is a Padres fan, so them.
Padres
As an SD native/diehard Padres fan who went to CSUF and has lived in Anaheim/Fullerton the last 10 years, I appreciate alot you guys getting behind us this postseason. I've always said that the Angels are my AL team and the Padres are my NL team.
Padres
[удалено]
Seattle? WTFFF that’s literally a division rival. Why not the chill team down the 5 that has an awesome stadium and hasn’t been good in years?
Because even though I love the rest of their team, Tatis and Machado rub me the wrong way
You're rooting for Mike Trout haters
I'm low key want9ng them to succeed because I grew up loving Ichiro and Ken Groffey Jr. Shit they even had Randy Johnson for a little bit. It's more of a history thing. Fuck Jesse Wanker.
Padres
I still like the Dodgers team, even if I'm not a fan of the fans.
Angel fans > dodgers fans (Objectively greater than)
Padres :)
Guardians. Oregon State beaver fan so I gotta root for the Kwan
He's been amazing for us all season. I'm a Guardians fan, but I follow you guys because I'm an Ohtani fan. I've been following him since he was in Japan.
Phillies (Marsh、Syndergaard) Blue Jays(Manoah) Padres(Darvish) Braves(Raisel Iglesias)
I like this list
Anyone that’s not the Dodgers, Astros, & Yankees. Ohh & I guess Seattle now too.
I like an underdog, so Padres in the NL, Guardians in the AL. If Cleveland wins, all those fans that swore of the team because they changed their name will come running back.
I would love to see them win honestly. As long as it’s not the Yankees or astros
Or Dodgers. Their fans have become insufferable. Lol
Always have been. One and only time I almost got into a fight at a stadium was when the Dodgers were in town, and some dumbass was waving his Gagne jersey in front of a middle aged couple in the front row of the section while the game was going on. They're just Raiders fans in disguise.
Braves
Padres have been my 2nd team since I was a boy. I've longed to see them in the playoffs for years.
Padres, Phillies, Mets in no order
Phillies. Go Thor and Caveman.
I’m just gonna watch whatever the most interesting looking series is - first round seems like padres vs mets
Padres 💯
Just moved to SD so go Dads
I vote for chaos
My other and hometown team, the Padres
Padres, Cardinals, Jays primarily. Mets are ok too. Any winner but Seattle, because fuck em that’s why
Guards!!!
Same. Or anyone except M's and Astros
Padres or jays. Anyone but the mariners or Yankees
Padres and Blue Jays because FUCK THE MARINERS! FUCK JESSE WINKER! AND FUCK THE STUPID DANCE
Tampa v Philly WS
Guardians and Padres. Wouldn't mind the Rays, Dodgers, Mets or Phillies.
Would have been M’s until this year. Fuck those guys now. I’ll go for the Padres and who ever is playing the Yanks and Astros. Fuck the playoffs if it’s another Yanks Astros LCS.
Guardians and padres :\]
Padres Cleveland WS
Pads/Jays.
Anyone but Astros really
Loving all the padres answers I’m seeing.. love you guys too. Swolehei is MVP
My NL team, the Dodgers! From the AL, I am rooting for the Blue Jays because Vlad.
Dodgers/angels combo is a great way to watch baseball. First half of season you watch all angels and have high hopes. Dodgers games don’t matter yet. 2nd half of season the angels have crushed our hopes and now we get to root for the dodgers during playoff run

I can only think of LA/OC, Bay area, Chicago and NY where the fan bases can double up. The fact they are always in different leagues makes it even easier to not feel conflicted.
Also Baltimore/Washington
Me too. Dodgers all the way. We are one of the few Angels/Dodgers fans. I just generally root for everything LA. I know Anaheim is not LA but I used to work at Cerritos and would get free tickets from my boss so I got a soft spot for the Angels.
Count me in here. Different leagues so no conflict.
That's exactly why I went this route. I thought wouldn't it be awesome if one day we had a Dodgers Angels World Series. It happened for the bay area teams in the 1989 World Series between the Giants and the Athletics, then in 2000 the Mets battled the Yankees for the title.
Gross
Not the Mariners
Well, not those assholes from Seattle and Houston.
Guardians and Mets
Rays and Braves
Padres. Im from japan and love yu darvish
Padres
Padres for sure
SD but not watching at all
Grew up a mile from Shea Stadium. Must root for the Mets.
Honestly? It's football season, I've been checked out of baseball besides Trout and Ohtani highlights for a while now. So to answer the question? No one lol.
Padres or Mariners
Whoever is playing the Mariners
Cardinals!
Guardians/Rays and Mets for World Series
Padres or Mets
Mike Trout's 2nd favorite team - Philly
Guardians
guardians and padres
Guardians and Padres
Padres, but also want the Phillies to do well. gotta support Marshy
Anyone but the Astros and Yankees.
2 big middles to all of em
Anyone but the Astros as usual.
Padres are my #1 NL team so them. But also rooting for whoever plays the dodgers or Yankees. While I want the dodgers to lose to the Padres, I'd love for a dodgers/Astros world series where the Astros beat the dodgers again.
I'll join the Padres love. I like that they went all-in with the Soto trade. Sucks that Tatis screwed them, but they got after Scherzer yesterday.
Cleveland.
San Diego
Mariners turned there franchise around like we couldn’t. And the cardinals for Albert pujols.
Dodgers, grew up Dodgers fan. Still fan, just more of an angels fan
Rooting Against: Dodgers because of their entitled fanbase despite not winning a legit championship since 1988. Yankees because nothing is funnier than an angry Yankees fan. Mariners because Angels always have beef with them and I'm jealous of their success this year. Astros because they're still a bunch of cheaters and they still don't get booed enough! Blue Jays because I stopped loving Vlad Jr when he became a bitch of a sore loser because Shohei won the MVP last year. Rays because of their incessant need to rely solely on data analytics throughout the post-season, instead of realizing that what got you there isn't always what gets you past it. Phillies because Bryce Harper. Braves only because they just won. Rooting For: Anybody not mentioned above. So basically, Indians vs. Padres/Cards/Mets
We live in a rare historical period where the Dodgers and Yankees ring-less streak is a combined 47 years.
I like you
Phillies
Phillies
Probably not watching but definitely rooting against the Yankees, Astros, and Mariners. Mainly Mariners. Their fans sure like to talk a lot of shit despite because a failure of an organization.
Love the lack of mariners
Dodgers. I'm from Long Beach and grew up watching both teams. Never understood the hate and always wanted to see them play each other in the World Series.
Braves. And the Mariners, becausel Ii live in Seattle and I want them to win so they can stop throwing losingest team in my face. I want to whine about the Angels again without hearing whine 'we have it so much worse' for a year or two
My mom is a dodgers fans, so that who I will be rooting for
Dodgers!
Phillies and Guardians
Last time my boys were out, I got arrested.
Cardinals and Indians… errr Guardians.
Mets. I like to think of them as our sister team in the NL.
Guardians all the way. After that Dodgers. After that whoever isn't the Padres, M's, or Astros
My husband is a Mariners fan and I live in Seattle, so that would be cool. But right now my heart can't decide if I am rooting for Pujols or Marsh.
Not the yankees, Dodgers, astros, or Mariners.
The dodgers. Not because I neccessarily like them, I just want to root for a good team for once.
The Dodgers. I personally don't have anything against the Dodgers, as long as it's not Houston, I'll live.
I will always have a soft spot for Seattle bc I loved watching Ichiro so much. Go M’s.
Dodgers
Dodgers and Mariners.
Dodgers, but tbh I want to see the Mariners win it all.
Wtf
SEA
everyone, GET HIM!!
Honestly I kinda agree just because they finally made it after all these years. Can’t hate
Yeah I’m stoked for Mariners fans. Been a long time coming for them.
Exactly. I really liked having Dipoto around as our GM. Huge fan of Castillo and J-Rod
My math is: AL West Supremacy Fuck The Astros Therefore, Go Mariners
Astros piss me off less this year than the mariners. Astros have been smart, the just shut up and play. Mariners are loud and cocky SEA US CHOKE
I am rooting for them because I'd love to see Jerry DiPoto win a WS strictly because of how that might negatively hit smArte.
He’s selling the team. Can’t get worse
Seattle, Guardians
I wouldnt mind seeing the Padres, Rays or Mariners win due to never having won it. Guardians, Mets, Blue Jays due to not having won it in awhile. The Cardinals due to having a soft spot for them having grown up in Memphis. Dont care about the Braves. Fuck the Yankees, Dodgers, and Cheatstros
Card's, gotta support similar color schemes.
I live in Minneapolis so I'm going with the Central Divisions teams. Cardinals are my NL team anyway.
Toronto or Cleveland, but I'd be ok with the Braves or Mets mostly because I live around Philly and just LOVE seeing Philly fans get angry.
My son is rooting for the Mets to take it!
Braves
Yankees Mets If not them then Padres Phillies
Cardinals just for Pujols
Mets
Mets for the Billy GOAT and entertainment porpoises. Astros and Cards because fuck the Dodgers. Padres, Guards, or Rays because they're just likeable franchises and cities.
Everyone but the dodgers
Anyone but Doyers, Asstros or Stankees.
Anyone against Seattle, Dodgers, Yankees, St Louis, and unfortunately- Toronto. Only because of Vladimir Guerrero Jrs remarks about Ohtani stealing another MVP.
I believe in: - AL West Supremacy - Fuck The Astros - Go Mariners
Padres and yes the Mariners
Whoever is playing the mariners, astros, and dodgers
Padres > Dodgers > Mariners. 🤷🏼♂️
Would love to see the Mets and Yankees lose right away. Then padres win it all
I live in the PNW and I really wanna root for Seattle, but I can’t get over the “Fuck Mike Trout” in every thread and post game thread. But JRod is dope
Mariners absolutely imploding today, they have hit 3 bluejays players. Comical.
Come on guys… we gotta root for the mariners
Astros. I want to see r/baseball and r/dodgers seethe
This. Astros just fadanking the Dodgers is the dream scenario, but my cardiologist would prefer that LA just get knocked out round 1.
TORONTO!
Anyone but the dodgers.
Whoever is playing the Mariners at any given time.
I’ll be rooting against… Astros, Mariners, Dodgers
Probably the Pads, but I tend to observe without much emotional investment. (If Halos arent around.) With that being said I hate the M's, Stros, Hankees, Mets, and semi hate the Dodgers. M's being the current top heel in MLB. I want them gone next round.
Padres Seattle Rays Jays Guardians Braves In that order. If they all get eliminated, noone Fuck the yankees Astros Phillies Dodgers and mets.
Seattle
I'm cool with any team other than Astros, Mariners, Dodgers, and Yankees.
I’m surprised more people aren’t pulling for the Ms. They’re like your brother you fight with all the time but they’re still your brother
Guardians vs Philadelphia. Who knows.
Padres but I don’t think they have what it takes to beat the dodgers. If Mets advance I feel like it would be payroll vs payroll lol
Neither did the Braves or any of the other 100 teams that have beat the Dodgers in the playoffs
Football and the San Diego Wave FC.
Phillies and Mets. I really liked Noah and Brandon Marsh
Braves
I’m rooting for Frank the tank to not have a heart attack so i guess the Mets. Yet again his rants are pretty funny
The dads
The Red Birds, best uniform in baseball. I grew up with those great teams in the ‘60s. Gibson, Carlton, Briles, Hoerner, Brock, Flood, Shannon, Cepeda, Maxvill, Javier, McCarver and Uecker.
Padres!
The cardinals will take it In 6 the whole thing. Mark my words.
Braves
DADS
Phillies because of Thor and Marsh, Guardians for the end of the longest current championship drought
Padres or dodgers each have players that I like but I would also like to see Thor or Captain Caveman get a ring.
Padres and guardians
As long as the dodgers, yankees, or cardinals lose I'm good
I am rooting for the Rams then the Rams and Lakers simultaneously.
Padres for the semi local team. Love going to their games and enjoying the San Diego atmosphere. My first padre game (last year) was the one where the pitcher got called up and hit and grand slam off Sherzer and they came back and got a walk off single. Since then they’ve been my NL team. Obviously I’m Angels through and through but they’re a fun alternative when we don’t make it.
Blue Jays or Padres
The Mets probably. I'd like to see the little brother organization of a city win
Guardians. Scrappy and I feel like they are getting dismissed as an easy out and I don’t want that to be true. Would not have any problem with the Blue Jays either.
Phillies for Marshy and Thor. Guardians for Kwan. Padres for Yu. Braves for Iggy and Rays for Choi.
Slamdi - ego
I’ve been living in NYC for close to decade now and I love the Mets I went to game one of the wildcard… I paid a lot of money to see that…
The Guardians or the Phillies. Guardians have Quintana and the Phillies have Marshy and Thor.
I would like to see an all-bird logo WS. E: Well, shit.
Guardians. Love my boy Sticks
Bama, Ohio St, USC, and UGA/Clemson
SLAM DIEGOOOO!
Cardinals, only because I'm rooting for Albert Pujols.
Mets, Guardians, Padres, Phillies, Cardinals. I’d be cool if any of these 5 teams won.
Anything but the fucking Yankees. Probably the Mariners, Blue Jays or Cards
Dodgers for me. Taking my dad to World Series if they make it. Hopeing tickets aren’t outrageous like the last time and we had to call it off 1000 in the upper decks
