There is a combination of big market teams, team rivalries, and compelling games. Sunday night, when the Mets were down 6-0 to the Dodgers late in the game, I was thinking, “They could still come back.” The bracket produced regional rivalry, division rivalry, and historical rivalry. It’s been a real treat, and I’m glad fans are watching, and maybe new fans are coming on board.
The games so far have been reasonable in length. And gotten over at a reasonable hour. Keep doing that. For the WS, an 8 pm start should be 8 pm. Pregame folderal should be at 7:30. Some of us aren’t as young as we used to be.
