What baseball team do Panthers fans root for?


Keep Steve

This is marginally related to the Panthers, but I am curious and I know it will get more traffic in this section of the forum.  I did not find anything similar using the search function.

 

Given that there is not a professional baseball team in the Carolinas, who do most of you root for? The Orioles and the Nationals make sense because of distance.  The Braves are an option as well.  The Durham Bulls are the triple A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays and the Charlotte Knights is the triple A affiliate of the White Sox, so it would make sense to follow either the Sox or the Rays.  There are several other minor league teams, but the triple A teams are most relevant to the major league clubs, unless a young stud jumps from single or double A.  

 

With that said who is your team and why?

Loved the giants as a kid, big Barry bonds fan. Went to a padres giants game when I took a trip to south town as a kid.

I have fell off for years, and not a baseball fan at all. If I had to identify with a team it would be the giants. I hesitate, cause I do not want to identified as a banwaggoner. So I guess I'm N/A.

Definitely holding out for a franchise in the Carolinas.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
