The Astros- Phillies World Series didn't attract many TV viewers. Why?
Jose Altuve and the Astros didn't draw nearly as big an audience in 2022's World Series as they did in 2017.In Houston, we've become pretty good about projecting defiance over anything remotely resembling shade toward the Houston Astros, even if said shade is really just statistical fact. Three years of fending off"trash can banging" insults will make a fan base defensive. So prepare yourself, definite Astros fan, fox this is not shade, but merely statistical fact.
I'm sure that anybody reading this in Houston is saying"How can this be? What are the reasons? I mean, this World Series had EVERYTHING, right? Major comebacks, star power, a no hitter, and by God, Jose Altuve is as lovable as the day is long! What gives???" This one does hold some water for me . Sure, on paper, it was just moving one conflict with the NFL onto another NFL day , but that Thursday night was a prime time game involving two teams from the EXACT same cities as the two World Series team. That had to do some damage.
That context is important when analyzing the World Series, he added, noting that baseball expects to make about $11 billion this season.
