The other way to look at it is a fan can watch all three games, where if they were all played in prime time you’d miss at least one of the games.  

The actual reasons why this happened today specifically is because of geography (no west coast games) and television rights (tbs has the sole rights to the ALDS).

It's been an ironically rough day for indigenous peoples.

Which is funny because it's National Indigenous People's Day (formerly known as Columbus day)

seriously

I feel like you are projecting. As you get older things tend to naturally feel lesser than they once did, it's easy to project a decline in personal interest into something bigger. As it's currently programmed there is baseball on all day, and I love that. When the kids get out of school there is a game on. When you get out of work, there will be a game on. Maybe they should've put the Astros / Indians game on along side the Yankees / Sox game but then most people are only gona watch one of them anyway.

I don’t think I’m projecting. Just stating what I am seeing. I guess I’ll look up the national ratings when I get home. I can’t imagine they are very good.

they weren't going to put a game opposite the ny-boston game and MNF.

I  mis-spelled Ryan Madson's name when Googling him. Turns out "Ryan Madison" is a male porn star.  Hope my wife doesn't look at my search history.

The braves didn't really roll over or choke.  The dodgers are just better

[nando714]

Dodgers just a few outs away from their 3rd straight NLCS

*sigh*

[nando714]

Long strike by Duda 

[eligrba]

Angel Hernandez calling home plate at the NY/Boston game makes sense.

[eligrba]

LOL...another Yankee hitter with opposite field power comment.  Jesus, most homeruns to right field would be F9 in most modern fields..

His ERA was "inflated" because he got lit up in 3 of his games.  14 earned runs across 1.1 innings.

if you take out his 1.1 ip on 5/20 vs AZ, his ERA was 5.61

Only bright spot of this is that the Brewers have a legit chance to knock them out, and home field advantage.

If you take out games in which he allowed a baserunner, his ERA was 0.00 and his WHIP was 0.00

[Lou]

we should sign Madson

Should we wait until he can't pitch?

I don’t know if this has been talked about. But didn’t feel like starting a new thread. But how dumb is MLB? It’s Monday and they are having playoff games in the middle of the day so people can’t watch. Could you imagine the NBA or NFL doing something this dumb? I’m not watching anyway but got an alert Houston swept and just thought why on the planet would baseball think it was a good idea to put their playoffs on when no one will watch. I can’t imagine ratings for these games are any good. End of rant. 

It is technically a holiday.
