People actually go to the ballpark.

No one is saying they aren't, they are saying that is not enough revenue to support it without the city giving tax credits and funding.
They're also saying people just leave Worcester post game as most games end past closing time of most restaurants in the area, with the exception of maybe 99, Wings over Worcester, and some pizza places. (Only including family friendly options). It's not like people are leaving the park in hordes and head into downtown / Kelly sq. And on top of that people tend to not want to spend more time in Worcester than needed.

I mean, the restaurants determine their opening and closing times.

I totally agree, but i also understand most restaurants cant feasibly do that. It's untenable.
