Nobody last week was outdrawn by a minor league team! This is great! Well…. Everyone except the Marlins. And boy, did they get outdrawn by minor league teams again this week. With a low of 6,004 fans, the Marlins were outdrawn by ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY FIVE minor league games last week. This week also got the Marlins past a season milestone: the Marlins have been outdrawn by ONE THOUSAND minor league games thus far on the season. The overview, as if it’s even needed:
MLB teams outdrawn by AAA teams: Miami (below 79 AAA games)
MLB teams outdrawn by AA teams: Miami (below 33 AA games)
MLB teams outdrawn by Single-A teams: Miami (below 8 A-Advanced, 18 Single-A, and 7 A-Short Season games)
For the other 29 teams, attendance wasn’t even that bad. The closest average attendance to the Marlins’ 6,602 on the full week was 21,304 in Cincinnati, more than three times the Marlins’ average attendance, and more than the Marlins full three game series’ combined attendance! On the top end, six averaged above the 40,000 mark on the week, giving one of the strongest weeks in attendance on the year
Ejections continued at a healthy pace, with the AL narrowing their gap to the NL by a factor of 4-3 this week. This brings the American League within six ejections of catching the senior circuit with plenty of time left in the season to protect their three-season ejection winning streak.
Game time averaged around 3:05 this week, with the Rangers and Tigers playing the shortest game of the week at 2:05. Meanwhile, Miami subjected their fans to a 5:31 game against the Rays. Perhaps it wasn’t a bad thing that there were fewer than 7,000 in attendance.
Temperatures got even more brutal this week, with an 108 degree game in Los Angeles between the Dodgers and Angels, and a 102 degree scorcher in Arlington between the Rangers and Astros. Once again more than half the league played every game in temps above 90. July is here!
Now finally, as always, your miscellany. And of course we have included the raw data at the bottom of the page. Enjoy!
