Go Padres. I want a rematch of the 1984 World Series.

Holy Shit.
Me and my daughter just went nuts. Should the Mets hold on we are going to at least one of the games next week. |

It seems like every year somebody is deserving of some level of the Barry Bonds treatment. We are not letting that guy beat us even if it means sacrificing one run so he does not beat us with more than one run.
Lindor is probably that guy this year.

A guy who works for my wife has a son who is a scout for the Mets and he told her he is going to give us his tickets for at least one of the NLCS games. I'm going to bring my daughter

Does anyone know why the NLCS is on during the afternoon? I enjoy day baseball but it just makes these games feel less important.

I'd assume it's a desire to avoid overlapping games on different networks, plus tomorrow is a travel day for the NL so they can getaway a little earlier this way. Personally I've loved the return of some day post-season games to the schedule, a nostalgic thing for me that I've lamented for years

Anecdotally, it feels like many baseball fans do as well. Yesterday was definitely a rough one for the West Coast folks. Ideally you would have the game on the East Coast on during the day on the East Coast and then the West Coast game during the day on the West Coast. But it's the Yankees, New York etc.

Now that I no longer have cable and channel numbers, and I just click on a streaming app to watch stuff, sometimes I'm unaware of what channel I'm even watching.
So it didn't occur to me until I saw something on social media about it, that baseball is such a niche sport now that the LA Dodgers and NY Mets played a primetime game last night on FS1 while Fox aired The Masked Fucking Singer. Absurd, but it is what it is, I guess. Money/ratings don't lie.

That's actually (I suspect) more about propping up numbers for FS1. That game drew roughly 4x the total audience of Masked Singer (which is down considerably from where it peaked) Plus, when they made the TV schedules/deals, they couldn't count on getting NY vs LA. I doubt STL vs MIL would have drawn as well.

MLB says that game 5 of the NLDS between the Dodgers and Padres had 12.9 million viewers in Japan. Average Viewership • America: 7.5M • Japan: 12.9M That means that 10% of Japan's entire population watched the game at 9 a.m. on a Saturday.

Yeah, they are much more serious about baseball than we are.

Took my daughter to the Mets game tonight and man what a time we had. The place was crazy and we definitely made a lifelong memory as it was her first MLB game. Her 2 favorite players are Ohtani and Alonso and when Polar Bear went yard she went crazy.

Imagine being told at the beginning of June that you'd be taking your daughter to her first MLB game and it's game 5 of the NLCS with the Mets at home against the Dodgers. It sounds like it was an amazing experience. |
