Tempers finally have flared in the past two weeks as we’ve gone from 56 ejections to 76 in no time flat. This week alone had eleven ejections, including the Dodgers getting three ejected in one game. This didn’t do much to help the American League, who has held the ejection crown since we started tracking this sort of thing, they now trail the NL by twelve ejections on the full season. Lots of work to do!
Attendance was overall good, with the Marlins, and A’s on road trips, and the Rays hosting the Yankees, the real professional baseball team of the Tampa metro area. Only Pittsburgh drew fewer fans than multiple AAA games last week, with the Pirates and the Royals being the only teams to average below 20,000 on the week. Only five teams drew below the 20,000 mark at all, the aforementioned Pirates and Royals as well as the Indians, White Sox, and Reds. Nine had greater than 40,000 in at least one game this week with the Yankees and Cubs averaging above the mark. The good news continues as no team was outdrawn by a team in AA or lower this week:
MLB teams outdrawn by AAA teams: Pittsburgh (below 9 AAA games), Cleveland, Kansas City, and the Chicago White Sox (below 1 AAA game)
Game time averaged around 3:05 which is up over the past few weeks, largely on the backs of quite a few extra inning games that happened last week. Everyone but the Phillies played a game below the three hour mark while everyone played a game greater than three hours as well.
Temperatures and weather was surprisingly pleasant, as no outwardly cold games took place, though some might argue that 57 degrees in June is freezing. On the other side, only a handful of games at or above 90 degrees, with nobody averaging above 82 degrees on the full week.
Now finally, as always, your miscellany. And of course we have included the raw data at the bottom of the page. Enjoy!
