Triple digits in Kansas City this week was the highlight, the first 100 degree game outside of Phoenix this season. Especially impressive considering the game’s 7 PM start time. Neither starting pitcher made it past the fifth, with the game eventually going ten and the sweaty Royals fans going home sweaty but happy after 4:10 of baseball.
The A’s joined the Rays as the only teams with a sub-10,000 attended game this year as they had 9,736 show up to their game against the, you guessed it, Tampa Bay Rays on Monday. It turns out that a small fan base multiplied by another small fan base equals low attendance. The A’s were joined by the Orioles, Reds, Rays, Marlins, Phillies, and Pirates in the sub-20,000 attended game list this week, with the A’s, Marlins, and Phillies all averaging below the mark on the full week. On the top end, the Rockies, Dodgers, Mariners, Angels, Cubs, Braves, and Giants all had a single game attended by more than 40,000 fans on the week with only the Mariners not averaging above the 40,000 mark. A great week for attendance!
Average time of game once again remained stuck at 3:10, where it has sat almost all season. The Angels not only played the shortest game of the week last week at 2:13 (against the Red Sox of all teams!) but also managed to not play a single game longer than three hours on the full week. On the opposite side of the coin, the Rockies shortest game of the week was 3:07.
On the ejection front, only six to speak of this week as the AL widened their lead by two, bringing them up seven on the senior circuit this season.
And now, as always, your miscellany. And of course we have included the raw data at the bottom of the page. Enjoy!
