If you had places to be this week, hopefully you were not a fan of Colorado baseball. In all seven games this week, the Rockies averaged a 3:40 length of game. The twist? Not one single extra inning game. With 102 runs over seven games, nobody got home from a Rockies game in shorter than 3:17 this week. On the other side of things, nobody watching an Indians game spent more than 3:01 at the ballpark, as the Cleveland fans were able to nurse their championship hangovers with fast-moving baseball this week. With an average game of 2:40 this week, Indians fans gained seven hours of free time over their Rockies’ counterparts, the biggest difference between fastest and slowest weekly average for the entire season.
On the ejections front, a somewhat normal week with six ejections, five of which by the home team. On that front, of the 85 ejections so far this season, 50 have happened to the home team, and only 35 to the away team. The White Sox have had an ejection for the second straight week, two behind their longest streak of the year of four consecutive weeks.
In attendance, the Indians and the Athletics battled for the lowest attendance of the week, while the Marlins and Orioles also managed sub-20,000 crowds this week. On the other end, 12 teams drew greater than 40,000, including the aforementioned Orioles.
On the weather front, another pleasant week, though hot in LA again with 96 degrees for the Dodgers-Nationals game on Monday, tying Atlanta for the week. Nothing notable in the wind department, and once again San Francisco wins the coldest temperature of the week.
And of course, as always: the miscellany and below that the raw data to look at yourself. Note there are three tables, the top being all games, the second home games, and the last being away games. Enjoy!
