MLB released its first ad for the postseason on Tuesday, and honestly we can’t believe they did this.

Bat flips? Shirt-ripping? BEEF?! What is the world coming to!? You could have pulled me aside yesterday and told me this was going to be MLB’s postseason commercial, and I never would have believed it. I mean, not only did they go all-in on embracing the parts of baseball that some fans detest, but they also picked a fire Migo’s song for the postseason.
I can’t even.
I asked baseball rules expert (and SB Nation.com baseball writer) Grant Brisbee for his take on the commercial:
“Baseball can only be played with a long, heavy stick, but that doesn’t mean it should be kept up MLB’s butt at all times. Embracing excitement and passion seems like a good thing.”
And most fans seemed happy.
Glad we have official MLB approval of bat flips and showing emotions. Thank you. Also, including a LoCain smile Good stuff.
