MLB playoff viewership surges as big market stars vie for World Series
24 comments
*wow shocking*
We all know who the biggest draw is: the mistake on the lake, River burning, metropolitan capital of the Great Lakes, Cleveland Ohio.
A lot of people aren’t going to want to hear this.
Great for MLB, baseball in general, and if some sad folks on r/baseball can’t deal… who cares?
I cannot, for the life of me, understand why anybody who doesn’t work for MLB would give a shit about this.
The better teams are still in it, not surprised
Wait but I thought the smaller markets supporters said that big markets did bad in the ratings because everyone in the smaller markets are too uninterested to watch? 🤔
Fans: ugh no one wants to watch Dodgers vs Yankees
Same fans last year: watching reruns of South Park instead of rangers vs Dbacks
I find it insane the LCS is on cable. It’s going to restrict viewership. MLB needs to find a way to get both on network for every game, not just a few here or there.
Too bad the LCS games have been dog shit
Water is wet
The othani affect
If certain teams have literally double the budget then they should have to win twice as many games. I think that’s only fair!
Good for mlb but years like last year where the rangers won the World Series may have had low ratings but i am still cheering on my team to win it every year, ratings be damned.
For those people who complain about the rangers winning it last year and act like they should have laid down for bigger market teams, no they should not have. If you cannot market a team from dfw, who has a all time great manager, seager, bat flipping Garcia, nathan eovaldi, max scherzer. Yeah that is on baseball, not on the rangers. Not saying they should have had ratings like the new york teams or la, but it could have been higher.
Always cheer on your team, ratings regardless because mlb do well enough. It is up the commissioner to prepare for any scenario.
Dodgers Yankees the dream ratings matchup. Anything else will be a dud.
Just wait till the Bluejays make a comeback in a few seasons! All of Canada will be watching…..at least that’s what I like to tell myself 🥲
Every game, of every series, has been a real treat to watch.
Each team’s fans must be losing their minds each game.
More ads -_-
WHAT IF it’s the ghost population swelling the numbers in hopes in seeing their own represented in extra innings?
I accept that this is largely because there are 3 big-market teams in the final 4.
However, I would also add that it has been a very exciting post season all around, and even an exciting regular season, and that the new generation of superstars is bringing lots of eyes to baseball.
Which is amazing.
The Ohtani effect
Duh
No numbers?
well, the dodgers drew me into watching these playoffs, once Baltimore was eliminated
