Below the Box Score, Week Ending 4/23: The AL Takes the Ejection Lead

The American League went on an absolute rampage this week. With seven ejections to the National League’s zero, the AL has recaptured its lead in the ejections race by a score of nine to four.

Meanwhile, data issues continue with our provider, making it look like the Braves had no fans in attendance (they did). But the data that did come in showed that the A’s, Reds, Rays, Mariners, Twins, and Padres all had fewer than 20,000 to a game this week, with the A’s and Rays both averaging sub-20k for the week.  There is still yet to be a game with fewer than 10,000 fans though this wee’s A’s vs Rangers took the season low with 10,406 in attendance on Monday night.

Overall game time this week got better, averaging out at around three hours a game, though the Padres did their fans a favor by getting them the hell away from Padres baseball as quickly as possible, with San Diego only averaging 2:44 per game this week. Miserable Blue Jay fans were not saved by their team, who averaged 3:34 this week. Lucky for Toronto they had the Leafs as a distraction. Unlucky for Toronto is the result of Sunday’s hockey game, which means they now have a full summer of bad Blue Jays baseball to look forward to. Go Argonauts, they might say.

Not much to say on the weather front, with temps from 41-91 and winds 0-16 MPH, nothing really notable for the time of year.

 

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!
