Not much interesting to note this week, though strangely the American League continues to walk away with the ejections lead. This week four AL players or managers were ejected to the NL’s zero. That’s the second time this year that the NL has gone a week without an ejection.
Once again eight teams drew fewer than 20,000 at one point or another this week, including the Rays who drew only 10,118 for Thursday’s game against the Marlins. The Mariners, Reds, Marlins, Padres, Athletics, Royals and Twins join that list. Of those eight, four teams averaged below the 20,000 mark: The Rays, Marlins, Reds and Athletics. On the top end of the spectrum only the Dodgers averaged above 40,000 on the week, with the Angels and Cubs drawing above 40,000 at least once this week.
Only six teams averaged below three hours this week, up from last week but still below where the league wants it to be. The average sat at about 3:15, higherthan last week but attributable to a high number of extra inning games. The Mariners appear in the longest time of game for the week largely due to the five hour game against the Rangers on Friday.
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!
