Maybe there has been too much hype for the Josh Rosen era in South Florida. Maybe Tampa was too amped to see former Buc Ryan Fitzpatrick back in town for a preseason game. Either way, MLB didn’t do well in the entire state of Florida last week.
The Marlins didn’t draw more than 9,000 fans to any one of their games this week, while Tampa didn’t draw more than 17,500. Those two accounted for the only teams to be outdrawn by minor league games last week:
MLB teams outdrawn by AAA teams: Miami (33 AAA games), Tampa Bay (4 AAA games),
MLB teams outdrawn by AA teams: Miami (2 AA games)
MLB teams outdrawn by A teams: Miami (2 A games)
Time of game once again sat down around 3:07 with four teams not having played a game below the three hour mark, though everyone did play a game longer than that mark, and the amazing Nationals – Brewers 15-14 14-inning game clocked in at 5:40
Temps were buoyed by a series in broiling hot Arlington, where the Rangers hosted two 97 degree games, while the Blue Jays had mild temps and an open roof, measuring twice this week at 68 degrees.
Now, as always, your miscellany. And of course we have included the raw data at the bottom of the page. Enjoy!
