Dodgers/Red Sox was 3rd Worst Rated World Series Ever

They are in a tough spot. I don’t really know what they can do.

I watched a couple Yankee playoff games earlier in the month but I only tuned in during the 7th inning and later. I heard one of the WS games went 18 innings and tbh I'd be infuriated if a baseball game took that long.

I don't have the time nor the attention span to be sitting around and watching sports for 2, 3, 4 hours these days.
I love basketball and these days outside of postseason games I can't sit around and watch them for 2 hours straight. I'm usually doing some shyt during the first two quarters like eating or doing homework then during halftime I go shower and come back towards the end of the third/start of the fourth to watch the game.
Even 3 years ago I used to watch every Knick game from start to finish and would stay up until 10:30 to watch the Warriors play when they were going for 73. Now I couldn't dream of doing that shyt. Plus with the new highlight channels on YouTuber, there's no reason to be spending that much time watching games.

the fukking world series should be a month earlier they need to smarten up. theres NO REASON they need to play 160 games

Will never happen. Baseball purists are literally the worst in all of sports. Theyd want the game played like its still 1960

Baseball is the most in your face realistic game. You on game 75 and your team 40-35 and you’re 15 games out of the playoffs but you still have most of the season to finish and you already know your team just ain’t good enough

but but major markets




shyt if they put some teams that never won like the cubs a few years ago i would have been more inclined to watch.

Game too long
Attention spans too short
Tradition too engrained

2020s will kill it off

Agreed, I'll even add in long as schedule (160 games)

i love how people dont think it can happen. 60 years ago most people travelled by sea and train not air, milk was delivered by a milk man and black people never had civil rights.

Most people who care about baseball passionately are old people who remember listening to a old cac on the radio, going to a game and scoring a baseball game

this generation is totally different, people's attention span is shorter, kids and teens would rather watch youtube or exciting sports or play fortnite than sit and watch a game that you don't know if its goign to end in 2.5 hours or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6

You’re not gonna be alive in 60 years so why are you worried about it?

Baseball is in a rough place right now.

Ultimately, its a sport that depends on an audience with enormous amounts of free time and scheduling flexibility. Two things working people have less and less of these days.

Working / middle class brehs no longer have the luxury of commuting on more or less traffic-free roads, clocking in at the factory, and clocking out exactly 8 hours later...with damn near a full 8 hours of leisure time available to blow on whatever.

Now, if you're working or middle class, you're working 2 jobs to stay afloat. And if you're white collar...you're expected to be available well into the evening.

And all that is before the changes in how the game is played, the lack of exciting stars, etc.

By this logic nobody would have time for any leisurely activity.

the Dodgers haven’t won a World Series in three decades.
