The ejection race between the two leagues had gotten close last week, but this week the defending champion American League ran away with an 7-2 week on the back of four Chicago White Sox ejections on the week. Overall, ejections had a great week with Milwaukee having a bench player ejected in the top of the first for arguing that the Braves took too long to challenge a call (note: the Braves did not challenge the call at all), and John Farrell getting ejected in Boston after a dubious balk call, but only after he got his money’s worth.
Attendance was once again stellar as only four teams drew below 20,000: the Rays, A’s, O’s, and Mariners, with only the Rays and A’s averaging below the mark. Twice as many teams drew above 40,000: Dodgers, Cardinals, Yankees, Giants, Cubs, Rockies, Diamondbacks, and Nationals. The Cardinals, Dodgers, Yankees, Giants, and Cubs all averaged above 40,000 on the week.
Meanwhile time of game had its lowest individual average for a week with the Marlins having averaged 2:48 over six games, playing no game longer than three hours and two minutes! Overall, with the longest game of the week being a handful of minutes over four hours, it was a good week to get in and out of your local MLB team’s game.
Other than that, weather was once again unremarkable, with temps in the 60s-90s and winds topping out at 20 MPH.
