Much more impressed with Will Smith winning three straight World Series with three different teams. That's crazy.0

Gets worse too:
https://frontofficesports.com/world-series-tv-viewership-continues-to-reach-new-lows/
I watched more NBA than I did World Series tonight.
So Baseball has 8 million viewers. Don't blame it on not having Harper like the article says. Didn't they have Harper one year w a low rating too?
I see it as good. At least they still have viewership. They just need to get some momentum with it.
Baseball does a pisspoor job at promoting players and their brands. Jung and Carroll should have been celebrated all year but they didn't do squat for them.
Espns coverage of baseball is pathetic. They push NFL all year long and probably because they have them on their tv schedule. I see more Hockey shows than baseball shows on ESPN... MLB needs to get in bed w them to get some more viewership.
Ohtani and Judge can't be the only 2 players they care about. Bring back TWIB to show highlights.
Thoughts?
Oh yeah. Good game last night. Yes I enjoyed it.
https://www.mlb.com/news/2022-world-series-tv-ratings-and-viewership
Agree on the ESPN coverage and baseball's poor job at marketing. I would definitely watch TWIB but that's not going to increase tv ratings significantly. Kids like other sports more nowadays.
I went to a Mets game because they were playing my Halos. We stayed until the 9th to see a final AB by Shohei. They walked his ass, we walked out, lol.
As we left the Mets fans were all yelling the same thing, "boo" and "who do u think we came to see?". If you have players like this it will make people interested.
Toronto has Bo Bichette and Vlad Guerrero, great players.
Seager has been in purgatory until now in Texas.
Alvarez for the Astros is literally one of the best players in baseball and gets zero love.
Pete Alonso has hit more HR than anyone the past few years and no one cares... Mets have a great RC Japanese pitcher in Senga and no one outside of NY has even heard of him.
Padres have a hell of a team that can't do shit together.
St Louis same thing.
Cubs had Canairio come up. Well they do have Alcantara to look forward to also and that Suzuki kid wasn't bad.
There are tons of stories out there that Baseball doesn't showcase.
I do think the rule changes this year made the game more entertaining to watch. No doubt about it. So that is a step in the right direction.
But part of the problem with the modern game is nobody wants to see bullpen games and everyone hates that most pitchers can't seem to hang for more than a couple runs through the order. That turns people off. I understand the reasoning for why managers do this but it's not what fans want to see. Literally everyone I know pines for the days when pitchers routinely went 7+ innings and bitches and complains that managers are over managing (most of these people I am talking about think it's just the Phillies who do this, which also speaks to the regionality in that they don't watch enough other teams to realize that is how the game is now).
And the regionality thing has been baked in for multiple decades now. Even last year when we did have more star players and bigger markets, it still only drew 12 million viewers. Baseball is just not as popular, nationally, as it once was.
So this year's WS was just destined to draw way less.Wasn’t attendance up ten percent this year? Hasn’t baseball addressed a lot of the pacing concerns with the clock and limits on number of pitching changes? If the pitchers improved wouldn’t the casual fan complain it’s too low scoring?
Baseball is a summer sport we love to attend in person that thrives when the weather is warm. Pushing the fall classic into November closer to the winter doesn’t help. Plus the WS has the misfortune of running into the buzzsaw of American football. Americas attention cannot look beyond football.
I agree with the regional problem. For example, as ive gotten older, I started caring less and less about teams out of my market, for every sport, so I tend to watch much less of the championship series for all of the sports, which is a bit sad.
I am intrigued about cricket. Imagine a ball game with hundreds of runs. FWIW yesterday I watched more cricket than WS. Intrigued by something new I guess.
Such a great game. Once you learn what an LBW is you've got it!0 -
Did anyone think that maybe Eavoldi could have been WS MVP?
I enjoyed this series too. I thought it was well managed and played.0 -

Stephen Vogt is the new Guardians manager. Went from a bullpen coach to manager in 1 year. Other than those who became manager with no coaching experience. This is a big jump.I miss igotid880
