It’s all downhill after the Cubs.

Not surprising that there’d be a drop off actually.

Nobody wants to watch that crap except the Red Sox bandwagoners.

Astros just have a much bigger draw than the small market Red Sox. Sucks for them but true

Are the days always set? I feel like there were lots of conflicts with CFB and the NFL this year.

I know they want to play the games akin to regular season but running up against a weekend with decent football matchups doesn’t help.

Having 3 of 5 games on Fri-Sat-Sun competing against football and other weekend plans doesnt help ratings.

Doesn't help that East Coast games start at 9:30pm after the national anthems.

And then go to 1:30am.

And that one game went to 4:30am.

And then people saw Dave Roberts manage and were just like frick it...why I am staying up for this shite, I have to go work tomorrow and Sox will probably win with this guy managing the Dodgers.

Two massive tv markets and two major franchises. That’s a huge failure for MLB.

There’s no realistic way of avoiding going head to head against football. Having 3-4 off days between games isn’t happening. The Friday and Sunday night games weren’t really that competitive anyway, unless you really wanted to watch the end of Indiana/Minnesota. I didn’t bother watching any football either of those nights.

I think it's ironic when people say WWE is fake because it's wrestling. However, every week it's the number one watched show. I'm not shocked by the ratings, as any type of entertainment empire can have a bad day.

Baseball fans are local and love underdogs. They don't give a shite about Boston and LA.
