TBS' Baseball Coverage Is Awful. Here's Why.

We all suffered through some bad baseball TV during the postseason.

TBS, under contract to Major League Baseball through 2021 to carry a Sunday afternoon game and postseason coverage, had more people watching the National League Championship Series than any postseason series in its history.

They got a 4.8 rating across the entire country for the series -- that's a huge rating for a baseball playoff series on cable. Wednesday night's Game 4 averaged 7.9 million total viewers and a 5.0 rating, the highest rating for any cable network for that night (based on metered markets).
