Things haven't gone the Padres way this season, but strangely I find the team more watchable than in years past. I guess I'd rather watch Matt Kemp strike out than Will Venable, but I'm still okay with watching Venable strike out too. Meanwhile my game attendance has dropped significantly but I just keep tuning in to watch the games on Fox Sports San Diego. I'm not alone apparently.
FSSD viewership is up 52% over last year. The 2014 Padres while also losers, were simply unwatchable, so I understand the bump.
