Listen "Why the Rockies’ void in Japan glares during a global 2025 World Series and how the Angels became second-class citizens"

Episode Synopsis

With 13 foreign countries represented in this year’s World Series, it truly feels like the Fall Classic is representing the globe. For example, we are seeing three Japanese-born players for the first time since the first time: the 2007 World Series (Boston’s Daisuke Matsuzaka and Hideki Okajima and Colorado’s Kaz Matsui). Could this provide a good reminder to the Rockies about investing in Japan?Dave Roberts has only one NL Manager of the Year Award in his 10 seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Is there a bias against him and/or the Dodgers? Does Roberts even care?Plus, a potential Coors Field media game with Patrick playing first base, the embarrassing optics coming from the Los Angeles Angels and Kiké Hernández makes Dodgers history.🎥WATCH LIVE 🎥https://www.youtube.com/@TheRockiesInsider🎧 LISTEN 🎧 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rockies-insider-with-patrick-lyons/id1762349675https://open.spotify.com/show/2MVUbiBbDp3wM85z2yy0Ut✏️WRITTEN ✏️https://www.justbaseball.com/author/patrickdennislyons/https://patrickdlyons.substack.com/🚨 SOCIAL MEDIA 🚨https://x.com/Rockies_Insiderhttps://x.com/PatrickDLyonshttps://www.threads.net/@rockies_insiderhttps://www.threads.net/@patrickdlyonsmlbhttps://bsky.app/profile/rockiesinsider.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/patrickdlyons.bsky.socialhttps://www.tiktok.com/@patrickdlyonsmlbSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-rockies-insider/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
