A big round of applause due to the Miami Marlins this week, as they hosted a three game series in which every single game had more than 10,000 in attendance. That gave the crown this week to the Oakland A’s who managed only below 8,000 on Thursday against the Royals. Impressively, only seven teams drew below 20,000 on the week with four of them averaging below the mark. However, only three teams had more than 40,000 in attendance on the week with only three of them averaging above the mark. The attendance band constricted this week! Your minor league underperformers:
MLB teams outdrawn by AAA teams: Oakland (below 30 AAA games), Tampa Bay and Miami (below 8 AAA games), Pittsburgh (below 4 AAA games), Cincinnati, San Diego, and Texas (below 2 AAA game), Minnesota and Detroit (below 1 AAA game)
MLB teams outdrawn by AA teams: Oakland (below 5 AA games)
MLB teams outdrawn by A teams: Oakland (below 2 A games)
Ejections caught some steam this week with five being ejected and the slight edge going to the American league to narrow the gap ever so slightly. The Senior Circuit only holds a six ejection lead at this point and hasn’t done much to maintain it lately.
Both Tampa Bay and the Mets didn’t play a single game over three hours this week, which was the average game time across the league. This continues the trend of decreasing from the 3:10 mark that we saw last year. Good news, but still a ways to go!
As for the weather, hot temps in Dallas with the Rangers and Astros playing in 96 degree heat, a harbinger of what’s to come this summer. Meanwhile, the windy city lived up to its name with a 24 MPH wind on Tuesday.
Now finally, as always, your miscellany. And of course we have included the raw data at the bottom of the page. Enjoy!
