Worst fans in baseball

Playing the Astros (a perennial playoff team) and Paul Skenes pitching and the attendance is 15,000

I guarantee New Orleans would support that team better

Everyone saying the Marlins should move (and they should), but Pittsburgh does too.

You expect a 2:15 game on a Tuesday featuring a team that is 17 games under .500 to have a big crowd?

FWIW, Pirates-Reds wild card during McCutchin’s prime might be the single best baseball crowd I’ve ever watched on TV

15,000 in the middle of the week during work hours for 1 game out of 162 sounds good to me

No shot Nola would get those numbers man. Pelicans don’t get that freaking number during a prime time night game and they play half as many games

Yep but MLB has a bigger issue. Their marketing team as a whole is embarrassing. I love baseball but they just don’t promote it enough and they don’t get out to the average fan.

Pittsburgh is an incredible baseball town. People don't realize that even with the Steelers winning Superbowls, the Pirates were still more popular until the late 90's when they went on the 21 year losing streak.

How much abuse do you expect the fans to take? The only way to hurt the ownership, is to stop showing up.

To be clear this isn't a fan support problem with the Pirates. It's an ownership problem.

I’m a dumbass. I was reading the length of the game AKA Game Time

Point stands. If Skenes was in Miami or Denver, he’d be playing in front of crowds smaller than his college days

pirates ownership has been arse for a long while now

The highest payroll ranking they've had in the last 23 years is 20th.

Their ownership doesn't deserve people in the stands

Not to sound excessively condescending, but have you ever been outside on a June afternoon in NOLA before?

Poor baseball demographics aside, what gives you any reason to think they’d draw a fourth of Pitt attendance?
