MLB 2018 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 7/2: Marlins Gonna Marlin
The Marlins are at it again, drawing only 6,105 fans in attendance to a game against the Diamondbacks last week. To put that in perspective, the lowest attended MLB game not involving the Marlins last week drew over double that when the Rays put 12,305 paying customers through the turnstiles. To put that in even…
MLB 2018 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 6/18: Ejections Aplenty!
All good things must come to an end. After a slow start that led to me complaining last week that there weren’t enough ejections, MLB umpires listened to AMSTS and sent NINE players/coaches to the showers early this week, the high water mark of the year. The NL extended its lead slightly by getting rung…
MLB 2018 Attendance, Ejections & Weather – Week of 6/10: Marlins Outdraw Oakland!
A big round of applause due to the Miami Marlins this week, as they hosted a three game series in which every single game had more than 10,000 in attendance. That gave the crown this week to the Oakland A’s who managed only below 8,000 on Thursday against the Royals. Impressively, only seven teams drew…
2018 MLB Attendance, Ejections, Time of Game, and Weather: Below the Box Score. Week of 6/4: The Oakland AAs?
Only one team drew below 10,000 this week, as the Marlins and Rays were on road trips. That left the A’s, who played the aforementioned Rays in a matchup that couldn’t rely on fans from either side showing up. The four game series averaged fewer than 9,300 fans with the low point being 6,705. This…
2018 MLB Attendance, Ejectons, Game Time, and Weather: Below the Box Score. Week of 5/27:
A belated BtBS this week on account of Memorial Day, which I hope you enjoyed. Oakland made an attempt to reclaim their low attendance crown from the Marlins, drawing 6,991 in their lowest attended game of the week, while the Marlins were able to muster a relatively strong crowd of 7,512 and were the only…
MLB 2018 Attendance, Time of Game, Weather and Ejections, Week of 5/21: Tempers Flair – Below the Box Score
The Marlins continue to draw nobody, but the story this week is that ejections have finally heated up. Seven ejections this week, fairly distributed between the two leagues and allowing the NL to maintain its lead in the ejections race this year. But how bad was that Marlins attendance? One in three AAA…
2018 MLB Attendance, Ejections, and Weather, Week of 5/13/18: Summer is Heating Up | Below the Box Score
Attendance up slightly while time of game ticked up. Let’s take a look at this week’s Below the Box Score: Tensions remain low across the league with only three ejections, keeping the NL ahead of the AL by a margin of eight on the full season. Is it too much to ask for a few…
2018 MLB Attendance, Ejections, and Weather, Week of 5/6/18: John Gibbons Ejection Mania! | Below the Box Score
John Gibbons has had enough of the National League leading the ejections race, and he’s doing something about it. Gibbons accounted for 60% of this week’s ejections, getting rung in three separate games of the eight played by the Blue Jays on the week. John may not be the hero the AL needs right now,…
2018 MLB Attendance, Ejections, and Weather, Week of 4/22/18: The Oakland Single As? | Below the Box Score
Only three ejections this week, as level heads prevail, which means that the focus this week is on the attendance. Or, I suppose I should say: the lack thereof. In fact, there was a team that didn’t draw over 10,000 fans once this week in three home games. Let’s get down to business. Attendance was,…
Below the Box Score: 2018 MLB Attendance, Weather, and Ejections. April 16: Eleven Ejections!
We are in the heat of things thanks to a couple of brawls on Wednesday. Between the Padres-Rockies game and the Red Sox-Yankees game, there were NINE ejections, nearly doubling the season total in one afternoon. But that wasn’t the only excitement this week, let’s take a look. The Miami Marlins made the news…
Below the Box Score: 2018 MLB Attendance, Ejections, & Weather. April 8: NL Ejection Runaway!
Our first full week of the season and it feels like we’re fully back in the swing of things. Besides some weird things regarding scheduling due to MLB’s wishes to give home team’s a day off mid series to protect home openers, everything looks as it should this week. With one notable exception. For the…
Below the Box Score, 2018 MLB Attendance, Ejections, and Weather: Opening Day!
A new season is upon us, and it’s time again to look at what’s happening in the wonderful world of weather, attendance, and ejectons. We’re excited to have you back for the 2018 season, and have spent some of the offseason updating our data sources which should mean more reliable data for the full season.…
