Not surprised really.
Posted on 10/23/19 at 5:02 pm to RLDSC FAN
Nobody wants to watch the Astros

A Cardinals-Yankees WS would have been epic

Guess that poster wasn't lying

Not surprising
2015 had the Mets
2016 had the Cubs
2017 had the Dodgers
2018 had the Red Sox/Dodgers
All big market teams, and Cubs/Dodgers/Red Sox have nationwide fanbases
This year has the Nationals which have no history at all and have only been in DC for 15 years with no national fanbase, and the Astros which are a dislikable team with hateable players and a regional fanbase

Not surprising-MLB sucks at marketing. The day before the series they have their own networks discussing what went wrong with the yankees rather than profiling the upcoming world series which was featuring 6 of the top 15 or so starting pitchers in the last 2 years and 3 who are as close to sure fire hall of fame as exists for starting pitchers in current times. The product itself is good IMO but I dont blame the general public for not knowing

To be fair, they were going against the NBA opener between New Orleans and Toronto. Lol.

thanks LeBron lmao

Definitely the most boring matchup to non hardcore baseball fans
Posted on 10/23/19 at 5:11 pm to RLDSC FAN
The TV playoff package is idotic... why would anyone care about any of these teams if you can't find them on TV when the casual baseball fan interest begins to peak.
Posted on 10/23/19 at 5:17 pm to RLDSC FAN
No one gives a frick about either team.
Posted on 10/23/19 at 5:18 pm to RLDSC FAN
That’s unfortunate, it was an outstanding game

MLB does a horrible job of promoting their product.
NHL has been super guilty of this for many years.

Astros have shitty fans so I could see why.

If you have a any knowledge of baseball over the past five years and Cole v Scherzer Strasburg vs Verlander and Corbin vs Greinke doesnt get you excited then you hate baseball. The AL cy young winner vs the NLs best pitcher for 5 years, Stras who has been a top 15 or so guy for near decade and crazy post season era vs former MVP pitching in arguably his best 2-3 year period and sure fire hall of famer vs the most sought after starting pitcher in this last offseason.
And thats not including guys like altuve soto etc.
Its a really good matchup and the teams comprise probably the highest collection of individual stars out of any possible combo that made the post season.

The Nationals are a garbage team who no one wants to watch and the Astros aren’t a huge draw either.
