| MLB All-Star Game - 2nd Worst Ratings In History | |
| 2021-07-16 | |
But for Tuesday night's game, the Nielsen numbers were profoundly horrible: 8.24 million people tuned in, making it the second-least-watched All-Star Game in history. This number is stunning when considering what was billed as one of the most compelling lineups in years, one that included Los Angeles Angels' Japanese sensation Shohei Ohtani, who was the first player in All-Star Game history to be a starting pitcher and bat lead-off, and the game's first two-way starter dating back to 1933. So even with a hotshot phenom player, they had trouble drawing flies. I barely watched it myself; when you'd rather watch reruns of Law and Order, that should tell the suits something. However, the current MLB commissioner, Rob Manfred, seem as woke and inept as his NBA counterpart, Adam 'Jug Ears' Silver, whose professional background is a lawyer. And this is coming from someone who's disliked baseball for a while but has been watching more Red Sox games in recent months, probably because a) nothing else is on and / or b) they don't suck like they did last year.

| #5 The 8.24 M is higher than last year which had 8.15 but of course that was in worst of the epidemic. Interestingly, the ratings for the HR Derby (I watched this on the internet) was up this year. |

| #3 I discovered years ago I could enjoy baseball in a bar with no volume. I miss Jack Brickhouse. |

| #2 You used to have Joe Buck as a Braves announcer, right? Can't get worse than that. I turn off the audio for N.E. Patriots NFL games and tune in Scott Zolak (former Pats QB) on local 98.5 FM instead - he blows all analysts outta the water. |

| #1 Didn't even know it was on. Can't watch a Braves game anymore because that 1 fuvcking commentator will not shut the fuck up. |
