The Cleveland Indians saw their TV ratings drop 36% last year, according to a report by the Sports Business Journal. In 2014, the team averaged a 6.17 household rating, but this rate plummeted to 3.93 this past season. 2015’s figure is quite close to 2012’s 3.9 rating. The Post Season-bound 2013 team led ratings to increase to the 5.5 mark.

That ratings dropped may not be incredibly surprising given the Tribe’s 81-80 finish to the season, but this drop was the second-lowest in the major leagues. Only the Atlanta Braves experienced a larger fall from grace.
