ASG Ratings

[Thunder]

The ratings from last night's game were 6.9, the lowest ever. Now, half of you may not understand this crap, but why is it so low? Don't think I don't know.

[boston22407]

I didn't watch it

[BornToRun]

Too many Cleveland Guardians.

[Thunder]

I didn't watch it

 

 

I didn't either. I was too busy watching America's Got Talent.

[suns]

The ratings were so low because no one could find the game.

I missed the top of the 1st because I couldn't find it.

I would start about something like there should have been more Guardians but I don't want to derail the thread

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Yeah, please don't.

So on my TV, there are 2 FOX. FOX is on 07 and 70.

 

It wasn't on 07.

Maybe its because of no Pujols, Jeter or A-Rod? Too hot in Arizona?

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

It's a sign that it people don't think it should determine who gets home field advantage. It should be for fun meaning it doesn't count.

[Thunder]

Yeah, it's just an exhibition game.

[Youk Of The Nation]

It wasn't on 07.

 

 

It took you an entire half-inning to switch to another channel?

I also thought it started at 9 eastern.

They should eliminate all the all star games in all the sports.

 

They are all terrible and nobody watches them, and nobody wants to play in them. This would hurt the players in the wallet because many receive all star bonus's when they are selected, even if they dont play.

 

The writers association should pick the "all star" team and put it on paper only. After a couple of years of losing money and it not being on TV, the players and fans might want to see the home run derby and all star game after being without it.

 

Either that, or replace the game completely with an old timers game (like the Yankees do) and a skills competition where the home run derby is only a piece of the competition. Skill competitions should consist of events like best outfield arm, best infield arm, fastest baserunner, best contact hitter (using wiffleballs), best catcher arm, home run derby, a h.o.r.s.e type hitting game, best hitting pitcher competition, a home run derby for pitchers,have a "hardest throwing" non-pitcher competition.....any of those are more fun to think about than a bunch of players playing in a game they dont give a s*** about. Make the all star break more about the individual players rather than a team. Allow the players to show the fans things that we dont normally see, like positional players pitching, pitchers trying to hit home runs, or pitchers who can run faster than "base stealers" That would be more interesting. Put a point valule on all the mini competitions so that the players can compete for the crown of "best player" in baseball based on specific skill sets.

The thing is, how long would all those events take?
