Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but the Marlins are having trouble getting anyone to show up at their billion dollar ballpark. All four games this week in Miami made the MLB’s lowest 12 attended games of the year. Of those 12, 10 belonged to the Marlins and the other two to the Rays. So, yeah. Not great.
That meant the Marlins got outdrawn quite a bit by the minor leagues last week:
MLB teams outdrawn by AAA teams: Miami (84 AAA games), Chicago White Sox (8 games), Tampa Bay (6 games), Kansas City and Detroit (5 games each)
MLB teams outdrawn by AA teams: Miami (32 AA games)
MLB teams outdrawn by A teams: Miami (4 A-Adv, 22 A, 10 Short-A games)
Time of game once again sat over the 3:10 mark for the second consecutive week, with six teams not having a game below the three hour mark last week. Brutal.
Temps continued to be buoyed by a series in broiling hot Arlington, where the Rangers hosted another 98 degree game, while the Tigers had temps this week as low as 63 degrees at home.
Now, as always, your miscellany. And of course we have included the raw data at the bottom of the page. Enjoy!
