Attendance was great last week, with a third of the league reporting a game with greater than 40,000 in attendance. Given that the American League playoffs seem to already be set at the end of July, this is particularly impressive. As for the bad…. another Marlins home stand. And with that, the Marlins once again were the only team to not draw 10,000 on the week. They were only joined by the Orioles in being outdrawn by minor league teams:
MLB teams outdrawn by AAA teams: Miami (outdrawn by 29 AAA games), Baltimore (outdrawn by 3 AAA games)
MLB teams outdrawn by AA teams: None
MLB teams outdrawn by Single-A teams: Miami (outdrawn by 4 A games)
Besides that, it continues to be hot in Texas in the summer1. The week averaged nearly 100 degrees for the Rangers, the hottest in the bigs for the week. Meanwhile, San Francisco reported in with a 60.5 degree average week. In late July! Putting the brrrrr in brutal.
Ejections stayed low, but the AL regained some territory by a 3-1 margin, narrowing the season total gap to merely five. For those new readers to the attendance articles, the AL has won for three consecutive years.
Time of game stayed at the three hour mark as it has hovered throughout the hottest times of the summer, on the back of a six inning 1:47 game between the Indians and Pirates.
Now finally, as always, your miscellany. And of course we have included the raw data at the bottom of the page. Enjoy!
