Baseball is a sport built for die-hards, and die-hards might be the only ones willing to stay up until midnight every night for a month. williamfleitch writes
Fenway Park in 2018. Photo: Al Bello/Getty Images The MLB postseason begins Tuesday night with the National League Wild Card Game between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Washington Nationals, and if you are a die-hard fan of those or any other team playing in this year’s postseason, you are about to spend the rest of this month as a member of the walking dead.
Every postseason, baseball spends most of what should be its signature month getting mocked for how low its television ratings are. You’ll get the headlines this fall, too. The ratings are too low compared to last year, they lost the night to The Masked Singer, more people watch the Pro Bowl than the MLB postseason, the usual sort of pile-on.
It has been 32 years since the last World Series game was played during the day — in the 1987 series between the Twins and the Cardinals, in a dome, naturally — and the reason is obvious: On weekdays, when most of the World Series games are played, television networks are incentivized to maximize the eyeballs on an individual game, which means pushing it as far back as possible.
