MLB 2018 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 9/3: Ejection Comeback!
The American League took their time, waiting in the water all season, letting the National League think they’d win their first ejections title since AMSTS has been tracking the thing. That is, until September rolled around. The Junior Circuit finally got serious about winning the ejections race and pulled to within one ejection of the…
MLB 2018 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 8/27: Attendance Plummets!
Teams really outdid themselves last week trying to attract fewer fans than normal. The Marlins continued to dominate the game, however, with only 6,587 showing up to see the Braves on Thursday. However, the A’s, Rays, Pirates, and White Sox also joined the Marlins in being outdrawn by AAA teams on the week. The twist? …
MLB 2018 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 8/20: The NL Strikes Back!
The National League strikes back this week with seven ejections to the AL’s one, meaning we once again have separation in the season ejection rate. Attendance continued to be high, reaching the highest level of the season, with no games under 10,000 in attendance all week! Only six teams managed below 20,000, while seven managed…
MLB 2018 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 8/5: Dog Days
The dog days of summer are here again, and with it we have games in brutal heat and everyone too hot to argue balls and strikes. The lowest ejection week of the season, with only three getting sent to the showers early. Only three teams averaged below 70 degrees on the week, with half the…
MLB 2018 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 7/16: How Low Can We Go?
Once again the Marlins were the only team to be outdrawn by minor league teams last week. But it gets worse. The Miami Marlins are the first team since AMSTS has tracked MLB and MiLB attendance to ever be outdrawn by a Rookie League team in the same week. The Ogden Raptors drew 5,368 on…
MLB 2018 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 7/9: Marlins Do It Again
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…
MLB 2018 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 6/18: Double Digit Ejections!
Tempers finally have flared in the past two weeks as we’ve gone from 56 ejections to 76 in no time flat. This week alone had eleven ejections, including the Dodgers getting three ejected in one game. This didn’t do much to help the American League, who has held the ejection crown since we started tracking this…
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…
