Nine more ejections this week. With all but one involving the away team, including multiple ejections for the Pirates, Athletics and Royals, it was a busy week in the away clubhouse.
In other news, A NEW LOW ATTENDANCE RECORD FOR THE SEASON. The Rays managed only 9,014 to their Tuesday game against the Angels. That was 3,000 fewer fans than they had drawn on Monday night, their high on the week. They were joined in the sub-20k group by the Athletics, Orioles, Phillies, White Sox, Diamondbacks, Marlins, Nationals, and defending AL Champion Indians. Of those, only the Rays, Athletics, Diamondbacks, Marlins and Orioles averaged below 20,000 on the full week.
Meanwhile in the time of game area, we also have a NEW FASTEST GAME OF THE SEASON, as the Giants and Cubs played 2:05 of baseball on Tuesday, a full 18 minutes shorter than the second quickest game of the week. On the other end of the scale, we also had a NEW LONGEST GAME OF THE SEASON as the Twins and Rays played a 15 inning 6 hour and 26 minute game. Woof. Twelve teams averaged sub 3:00 with the overall average hovering around 3:05, a shorter trend over the past few weeks.
Weather was again unremarkable, except for the Diamondbacks playing the HOTTEST GAME OF THE SEASON not once but twice, with two 103 degree dome-open games on Monday and Tuesday.
Now as always, we have included 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!
