I can't explain the low ratings, but it might have been caused by the fact that both of these teams stumbled into the playoffs and had virtually no momentum. The Twins put together a stunning playoff run and a lot people got behind them. Also, a large portion of the country was probably disappointed not to find the Yankees or the Mets there either.
As far as his comment about the pitching errors, I think he is absolutely right. I was looking forward to the Tigers 100 MPH pitchers giving a hard time to Pujols and the rest of the Cardinals, but they really shot themselves in the foot and just weren't that exciting.
