    Will this be the lowest rated World Series?
    Yes and I don't think it will even be close. 
    Not sure about the lowest but yeah it will be up there (or down there) as one of the lowest watched WS. Don't feel like googling it but anyone know the least watched WS ever? I would have to think it would be in the 80's/90's maybe?


    edit: oh wow the past 3 world series were the least watched WS. So yeah this one will probably definitely be the least watched one ever.
    Just with viewing habits, alone, playing a factor this has a great shot to be the lowest.Johnny Abruzzo said:
    I don't think they capture streaming and such in those numbers. Or maybe nobody watches outside the home markets. Besides last year I've barely watched them probably since the Cubs one. Anyway I definitely won't be watching the first two games since I'll be at MMJ shows bitches!
    Yeah I think baseball has morphed to being much more of a home town thing over the years. Majority of fans don't care too much about teams outside of their own market.

    I’ll watch almost ANY MLB. it’s my favorite sport and, even tho some people bitch that it’s “boring” (which I never thought anyway), the new rules have improved what it was turning into. I will watch random hockey, too, because it is such a great, no bullshit sport. NBA, I will only watch my Jazz and maybe some playoffs (not a lot of overlap there).

    I know the NFL is the grandaddy, but I’m kind of losing interest….I think soccer sucks but at least that “football” keeps moving and isn’t, what, like 4 minutes of actual action over three hours? endless commercials; endless reviews, etc.

    Yes to random baseball and I play fantasy baseball so I have interest in most teams.
    Hockey is the king of random viewing, though.  I'd watch hockey pretty much anytime.  As you say, it is go time and not much bs.

    Very happy the Astors and Phillies both blew 3-2 leads at home. Think the World Series is worth watching no matter the teams. 
    I always watch the World Series regardless of who's in it. In the wild-card era since 1995, there have only been two repeat matchups:
    1996 and 1999 - Yankees-Braves, 2004 and 2013 - Red Sox-Cardinals

    As for ratings. Kids don't watch baseball anymore. (They watch way less sports in general than previous generations). It's become a regional view like hockey has always been, folks (mainly old Wobbie like folks) just watch their home team. Long gone are the days of big national audiences when there was Monday Night Baseball and such. The "big" national weekly game, ESPN Sunday night draws like 1.5 million viewers on a good week.
    So, ratings overall are in steady steep decline, and these 2 teams will do nothing to stem that tide.

    It won't be that exciting when you find out Aaron Boone didn't create a vacancy with the Yankees. For me, there's a moratorium on non-playoff teams during the postseason.

    openings and how they relate to donnie:

    angels - perhaps….but I’m hearing Buck. then again, they previously entrusted all that talent to phil nevin.

    astros - no

    guardians - not seeing it but maybe a slim chance.

    mets - looking like counsell

    padres - I think they’re going to promote from within

    and igot’s dream scenario doesn’t look to be open.

    I'm the same way. I watch minor league games, college games, etc...I just truly love watching the game that I've loved since I was a little kid. I wish I could still play it, but rec softball will have to do! Ha! I also play fantasy baseball and it's a really fun way to get into other players and teams.

    I agree on the NFL. I still play fantasy, but only watch it here & there until the playoffs. I'm the same way with the NBA. I do enjoy college FB & BB, though. March is easily my favorite sports month with the tourney and spring training going on (yes, I watch those games too).

    I enjoy watching hockey and soccer quite a bit. If we had hockey in TX when I was growing up, I would've played for sure.

    I enjoy playing golf, but barely watch it. I enjoy watching tennis sometimes.

    All that to say, I'm looking forward to watching the series.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    The Diamonbacks were ably backed by right fielder Corbin Carroll and second baseman Ketel Marte.
