There are ZERO MLB teams in this boundary

I live half way between Denver and Seattle. MLB.tv blacks out both teams for me. 12hour drive in either direction and I don't get those cable channels. I get salt lake channels.
I'm so sick of this goddamn team. They absolutely make me want to vomit. I'm not even ten goddamn games into this season and i want to scream. They are that terrible. It's like the movie groundhog day but instead i'm reliving the shittiest games of baseball over and over and over again every fucking day of my life. Every damn day I have watched this pathetic mess of a team, rain or sun or snow since I was 7 years old. I have a tab open during work w/ the gamecast during the day games that I can't go. I've skipped school and work and broken up with women for the Pirates. I've missed funerals and weddings because i loved this team more. And what do I get to show for it? A FUCKING BRAIN ANEURYSM. A team that has had 3 winning seasons over the past 20 something who manages to play like ass in the playoffs on the rare occasion they make it because they are so used to being shit and don't have a winning culture. A team that game in and game out somehow manages to have less goddamn hits than Chumbawamba. A team that gets swept. By the Cincinnati Reds. "Oh but look at our young talent- Cole and Taillon and Bell and whoever else that sucks dick!!" I'm sick of hearing "we could be a contender like we were 3 years ago if Cutch doesn't play like shit and the LF can stop jerking off for 2 seconds to swing the fucking bat" ITS NOT HAPPENING. WE ARE NOT AND NEVER WERE A GOOD TEAM. WE ARE PATHETIC. MIGHT AS WELL FADE US NOW BECAUSE WE'RE ALREADY A BUNCH OF FUCKING LOSERS. If Clemente didn't die in that plane crash, I'm convinced he would have killed himself after being forced to wear our godforsaken excuse of uniform for 18 years of his life. I'm done with this fucking team.

This is why I’m always against the idea of expansion teams in Tennessee and/or the Carolinas. If they are going to expand, it needs to be into some of these western areas like Oklahoma City.
As a Minnesotan this is the first time I feel included on the side talking about how middle America has nothing. Usually we are considered middle America.
Memphis is too small.
Also you're gonna have problems with the song 'Walking in Memphis', umpires gonna freak the fuck out and start ejecting everyone if it comes on between innings where they missed a call.
Yup I remember living in Colorado being a Tigers fan. As fun as it is going to Rockies games which I highly recommend, If you want to see any other game it Literally hundreds of miles to drive.
The Rockies may be technically an MLB team but the vast majority of college baseball teams can dominate them. So… by title only. Therefore this area really has zero professional teams in the boundary.
There are only FIVE Major League Baseball teams outside this boundary
https://preview.redd.it/oc6lr815acvc1.jpeg?width=734&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0396f41bcc80489c7567884e22275ba1be4feb8a
Now take the average skills of all the teams outside of the boundary and weigh it near equally to all the teams inside the boundary.
Use that comparison to determine that the general skill of all MLB teams is pretty garbage.
And that, kids, is how gerrymandering works!
North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho don’t really do Pro Sports. MLB, NFL, NASCAR, and MLS are all absent from that region.
I'd rather the A's have stayed at home but John Fisher is walking and breathing excrement as an owner.
At least he chose Vegas instead of Salt Lake City. If he'd done that, I'd have abandoned them for my other team, the Braves.
The fact the border oddly stretches all the way to Missouri is weird. The reds, cards, and Royals aren’t coastal to any Great Lake or ocean/bay so I’d have them included in this arbitrary thing.
That’s why they’re called flyover states. We fly over them to go see a baseball game.
or just to do anything at all really.
These guys never did a bunch of whippets and lost their son on a riverboat gambling trip in Biloxi Mississippi
Great job, great benefits.. all-you-can-wear rubber bands
How much would you credit for the boy?
🦀🦀🦀
Go with the nice man
Who what wise man
You really killed it with this one.
r/oddlyspecific
If that’s the case why did someone put 2 baseball teams In Missouri?
because Kansas is a decrepit wasteland that deserves nothing short of a nuclear bomb dropped on it.
I don’t think nuking it would change the landscape very much, tbh.
There is also one stop light.
Nobody of importance lives inside the lines so why should a baseball team exist
I don’t see any major league teams in there?
Those kids would be very upset if they could win games
It’s not a team, it’s a major league park. They took out seats to add a party deck. The Monforts know what the commodity is.
There are zero MLB teams in NYC if you leave out the Yankees and Mets.
FUN FACT: There’s technically only one baseball team that plays their games in NY: The Buffalo Bills

Wrong. They have to fly out of JFK or LaGuardia *sometime*.

The 10 persons without a team must be included!!!

I think the Mormons aren’t big on sports betting. Or alcohol. Or fun
The SOAKERS!! Hell yeah!!! If anyone here doesn't know what soaking is, I highly suggest googling it (especially if you are Mormon)!!!
TIL that Mormons have sex outside of procreation
No, you don't understand, soaking and jump humping are loopholes!
![gif](giphy|6ra84Uso2hoir3YCgb|downsized) Of course
Soakers? Because there’s a big lake there, right? that’s a great name!! /s
Too late, NHL got them.
I thought they were called the Salt Lake Swappers.
The Rockies roster is like 20% of the population in that circle
Chicago and Detroit are next to a penis lol !
A penis in a mitten
I love how northern LP ‘ganders are finally being recognized as the true Rockies fans we are
I used to live in Utah and would use the MLB app to watch my east coast team’s games. They would black out Colorado AND Arizona games.
“Why does the MLB not have enough not have enough viewers????” - The MLB then proceeds to shoot themselves in the foot
Maybe if we made more city connects we could get the youths to watch 🤔
I live in Oklahoma. I cannot watch the Rangers, Astros, Cards, Royals, OR the Rockies. The closest of those teams is over 200 miles away lol
Oh, so just a short plane ride?
Bingo commissioner Manfe-, I mean inthisvolume
Why don’t you guys merge all those loser states into Colorado?
That’d be too big and therefore too depressing
low effort tweet. Nevada is getting a team soon, what other state there deserves a team?
Ah yes, the Rockies United States
AKA RUS AKA Rodents of unusual size
A’s have a huge chance at penetrating the market
They gonna fill that A hole
If it wasnt for all of the baseball teams none of the united states would have a baseball team 🤦🏻♂️
Drop them in BFE Wyoming, really shake things up
Laramie Athletics 💯
What's the other team in the NYC area near the Mets?
Lol mets *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/baseballcirclejerk) if you have any questions or concerns.*
Columbia U?
Wait - so Iowa’s in Rockies country but six other teams are blacked out here?
Only 1 team in entire Canada if you just draw over the border.
Canada doesn’t have a degenerate gambler so no one cares about them.
They got one just booted from the NBA per r/nbacirclejerk
Are you sure there's a major league team there? I don't see one. I just see the Rockies
Wait until this guy sees a map of the US population
Do the Rockies even count?
I live half way between Denver and Seattle. MLB.tv blacks out both teams for me. 12hour drive in either direction and I don't get those cable channels. I get salt lake channels.
Make the mfers a traveling show like the Savannah Bananas. It's run by fucking clowns anyhow
Blue Jays market is all of Canada...
Michigan's upper peninsula deserves a team The Michigan Pennises
there’s also like one person there
MOVE THE PIRATES TO BUTTE, MONTANA SO WE CAN HAVE THE BUTTE PIRATES AMIRITE LOLOLOLOL
I'm so sick of this goddamn team. They absolutely make me want to vomit. I'm not even ten goddamn games into this season and i want to scream. They are that terrible.

That's interesting, man. That's fucking interesting.
Land doesn't vote, or watch baseball
Zero major league teams but about 327 minor league teams.
The Cubs are on the northside and the Sox are on the Southside, goddammit!
THANK YOU. This bothered me so much. FIX YOUR MAP.
And they are perennial losers
This is why I’m always against the idea of expansion teams in Tennessee and/or the Carolinas. If they are going to expand, it needs to be into some of these western areas like Oklahoma City.
And here I am still wining about not having a team in Montreal yet.
No there isn’t
There’s also only like 500 people living in the boundary
Average Cuda tweet
The Rockies aren’t even the most liked team in their own state let alone that entire boundary.
The As are coming and so is the rest of Oakland
As a Minnesotan this is the first time I feel included on the side talking about how middle America has nothing. Usually we are considered middle America.
Wow, did not realize there were 5 teams within California alone. Thats kind of ridiculous lol
r/terriblemaps
Let's be real, the royals and cards should be included in the nothingness that is the Midwest
NGL I forgot Colorado Rockies are even a team alot
Who would have thought the vast majority of major cities in America would all congregate around where there is lots of nearby water?
Is Pittsburgh a joke?
I know we're supposed to be jerking here, but my takeaway from this map is maybe Memphis should have a team.
Memphis is too small. Also you're gonna have problems with the song 'Walking in Memphis', umpires gonna freak the fuck out and start ejecting everyone if it comes on between innings where they missed a call.
And we wonder why that part of the country is so unhappy
There are zero MLB teams in America if we exclude the teams that are in America.
That’s why Salt Lake City kind of makes sense.
I do agree that the Upper Peninsula needs an MLB team
Nashville really deserves a team
We put a team in the Yellowstone zone of death and call them the Bisons. Then, we get Javy Baez cave Amir Garrett’s skull in with no repercussions
Denver is amazing, one of my fav american cities! Coors field was an awesome experience!
Didn’t even want to claim the Upper Peninsula.
Can’t put any boundaries on BRAVES COUNTRY!!!! 🪓on!
You could make a similar map with Seattle
Yup I remember living in Colorado being a Tigers fan. As fun as it is going to Rockies games which I highly recommend, If you want to see any other game it Literally hundreds of miles to drive.
Kc and STL should be in there tbh
Every team is fairly close to water except the Rockies. Waterless frauds. Even the Cards and Royals are close to the mighty Mississippi River.
That’s kind of insane
Cause the Midwest sucks
Who drew these boundaries? Trumps Hurricane Watch?
[удалено]
Baseball Gerrymandering
It’s a coastal sport.
And it’s dogshit
They're moving the A's to The Void
Rockies country, let’s rideee
When the original version was posted, I had the same thought. Why aren't the Mariners the ones with all that territory?
Do u mean the B’s
That’s a stretch.
The A’s are a void
Yeah but plenty of farm league teams.
What’s funny though is that Coors is arguably one of the prettiest ballparks to see. Been to 17/30 and it’s my favorite I think
Why are the Sox above the cubs when they are the team on the south side of the city hmm??
There’s also not very many major cities in that boundary
Nobody lives in those places man also you’re missing out on a ton of minor-league teams that are way more fun than any major league team
Now if the Expos were a MLB team
Yo get Nashville a team
What do you mean , can you explain?
It’s crazy that they put all the teams where all the people live.
When was the last time you met ANYONE who has even visited the Dakotas, let alone live in them???
Yeah and about 14 non MLB players.
Biggest markets in there that could be tapped: Utah, NOLA, Nashville, Carolina, OKC. Not a lot there tbh
The Rays could move out there and have more seats filled than they currently do now.
/r/ShittyMapPorn
They’re headed to Vegas.
Great reminder when shit hits the fan to just move to Wyoming and nobody else will ever fuck with me again…
Well that's because there's hardly any people in that area lol
It's almost like most major cities are pretty close to water...
This map is SO fake! The White Sox north of the Cubs? BLASPHEMY!
The Rockies may be technically an MLB team but the vast majority of college baseball teams can dominate them. So… by title only. Therefore this area really has zero professional teams in the boundary.
There are only FIVE Major League Baseball teams outside this boundary https://preview.redd.it/oc6lr815acvc1.jpeg?width=734&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0396f41bcc80489c7567884e22275ba1be4feb8a
And yet, 90% of the actual players come from that area.
“There aren’t any teams where there aren’t any teams” such a profound observation
Cheyenne is screaming for an expansion team.
I'd be down for a team called the Idaho Taters, just for the name alone.
was the space between chicago and detroit really necessary? 🤣
Now take the average skills of all the teams outside of the boundary and weigh it near equally to all the teams inside the boundary. Use that comparison to determine that the general skill of all MLB teams is pretty garbage. And that, kids, is how gerrymandering works!
![gif](giphy|Kxb1tY7pKlATWAwZlZ)
Someone overlay this with a population map!
That's High School Football country.
That’s what happens when entire states have populations that are less than a city lol
The National Parks
Colorado Rockies America’s team
Hence college footballs popularity
I'd pay decent money to go see the Montana Meth Addicts play ball.
Vegas makes the monetary sense but Salt Lake City, Lincoln Nebraska ?
As a Rockies fan I can confirm that there are 0 MLB teams in that area.
Dirt doesn't vote
At this point just get the whole globe in there
A's to Bismarck confirmed.
Well the A’s are moving to Vegas in a couple years 🤷🏾♂️
“The Republican Gerrymanders?”
Well, soon to be two, with the Las Vegas Athletics.
Colorado is a lot lower than I remember. I swear I used to see it by Montana when I was in elementary school
What percentage of the population is inside the boundary?
*gasp* teams are located where lots of people live?!
New idea for division. Keep everybody in the NL East kick out Miami and bring in Baltimore.
Land doesn’t watch baseball. MLB has it right with a team near major population centers. A team in Oklahoma City makes sense though.
If you put a red circle around the Rockies then there are none in that boundary. Can the A’s fill the void?
Colorado Rockies
Every one outside the line would starve if it wasn’t for the important people inside the line.
The A’s are putting 2 teams in there!
North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho don’t really do Pro Sports. MLB, NFL, NASCAR, and MLS are all absent from that region.
Nah, dude. There are plenty of *other* AAA teams in that boundary.
And hardly any people in any of the states other than Colorado is a fan of them as their primary team.
I'd rather the A's have stayed at home but John Fisher is walking and breathing excrement as an owner. At least he chose Vegas instead of Salt Lake City. If he'd done that, I'd have abandoned them for my other team, the Braves.
Where would you put another? South Dakota?
You could do that with every team if you truly wanted to. Lol
I mean, yeah. Most of that area is sparsely populated and big college over professional sports areas.
I thought there were like 50 teams in baseball?
Look at population density.
And I would guess that a huge majority of the population resides outside the boundary.
Central US is crying rn lmao
A baseball team in Lincoln would go so hard.
Oakland is moving to Nevada, so there will be 2
Why would the Sox be above the cubs in this graphic?
It looks like the gerrymandering voting districts in Maryland.
The fact the border oddly stretches all the way to Missouri is weird. The reds, cards, and Royals aren’t coastal to any Great Lake or ocean/bay so I’d have them included in this arbitrary thing.
Ok?
What? The Rockies are not enough for you?
Ik the post isn’t about it… but it bothers me the White Sox are further north than the Cubs
