Here’s a really good read about the RSN’s baseball ratings.
Yes the Cardinals are still #1 but let’s totally ignore how they are down 34% since 2015. Let’s also ignore that the Yankees are down.
Overall, MLB’s RSN ratings essentially were flat, dropping just 1%. Fourteen of the league’s 29 U.S.-based clubs posted increases; 15 were down. The Toronto Blue Jays’ viewership numbers were not available.
I won’t do a Baseball is Dying take here because Baseball Has Died and the Baseball Mafia just doesn’t realize it yet. It’s great that the Padres ratings are up, and not problematic at all about the Yankees, Red Sox and Cardinals. Not at all. Go Padres!
The article did not comment on SNY’s ratings, but I am sure is SNY had a good year they will let us all know.
Baseball is healthy and more popular than ever! Stop being So Negative! Kids love baseball.
