I honestly think the boos were more directed at the continued poor managerial decisions about personnel, especially pitchers.
Joe gave me a call in the first yesterday when Blubaugh couldn’t throw strikes. I told him that I had just thrown about 60 pitches with my grandson the day before. He went with King instead. In hindsight, I could have done better with a tired arm.

This thread is so dumb. Atlanta and Houston are both absolutely rocking playoff atmospheres. WTF do you think is gonna happen when you dilute the playoffs with extra rounds and have a damn wild card game on a weekday afternoon?
People with money also typically have kids and jobs and are gonna save it for when their teams make the LCS or WS.

Yes, because every sporting event that is on NBC and NBC Sports Network is available on Peacock.
but this was only available via peacock correct? It wasn't on the NBC network channel was it? Seems pretty dumb to broadcast an MLB playoff game on a premium service if you expect a good TV audience for a midweek afternoon slot.

Those who buy the TV rights to sports have demonstrated time and time again that they don’t care about the viewing audience at all. It’s all about $$$.

It was on NBC Sports Network, just as is the case today.

Whenever there's a bunch of empty seats at a sporting event in LA it's always because all 10,000,000 of them are at the beach.

National media took note.
Afternoon starts and diluted playoff pool are part of it, but it’s a spoiled fanbase as well.
Stands were crazy empty when the team sucked. I get it, they were tanking, but the highs and lows for Houston are more than many other places. As soon as the team starts contending, everyone in my neck of the woods was suddenly die hard for 30 years. We had the celeb fans with the long mustache and the old couple dressed as astronauts. As someone who lives in Astros territory, I can confirm that they aren’t any more loyal than any average team.
The Rockies have been absolute shite for a while, and their attendance is still respectable.
