Are MLB ratings terrible? (Edit: I see I'm late to this)


"Major League Baseball, which started its shortened 60-game schedule last Thursday for some teams, saw TV ratings increases of more than 200% in some cases. Thursday’s opening night game between the World Series champion Washington Nationals and New York Yankees averaged about 4 million viewers nationwide on ESPN. That was the biggest game audience for opening play ever on ESPN. It was also the largest audience for any regular-season game on any network since 2011. The big-market matchup was up 232% from last year’s opening night game between the Boston Red Sox and Seattle Mariners.

The ratings roll continued on ESPN Thursday night with the late game between the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers drawing an audience of 2.8 million viewers, the biggest ESPN audience ever for a regular season late-night game. Ratings remained well above average over the weekend."
