MLB 2019 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 9/23: Penultimate!
The season is drawing down and as teams are eliminated from playoff contention (Sorry Boston!), attendance slowly sinks away. As the Orioles complete a terrible 2019, it’s no surprise they ended up with the lowest attendance of the week, while also being outdrawn by the AAA playoffs: MLB teams outdrawn by AAA teams: Baltimore (4 games),…
MLB 2019 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Weeks of 8/26: Playoff Elimination Time
The Orioles were eliminated from the playoffs last week, and it certainly showed as they managed to only draw 8,153 fans to a game last week. Perhaps more surprising is that the Rays, currently sitting in the middle of the playoff race, managed to draw only 7,455 to their lowest attended game of the week,…
MLB 2019 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Weeks of 8/12: Cooler Heads and Cooler Temps
A bit of a ho-hum week in Major League Baseball after 25 ejections the previous two weeks, only four last week, with mild numbers across all other metris. The Marlins managed to get outdrawn by 52 minor league games over the past two weeks after only managing 8,057 fans to their game against Atlanta. Only…
MLB 2019 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Weeks of 7/29 and 8/5: Hot Temp(er)s
Editor note: Again I was unable to update last week so this week combines the past two. Forgive me. Ejections are the major story this week on the back of the major brawl between the Pirates and the Reds last week, which accounted for nine of the last two weeks’ 25 ejections that took place.…
MLB 2019 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 7/22: Long Summer Night Games
Time of game was above the 3:10 mark last week in one of the hottest weeks of the season so far, so it’s safe to say it wasn’t a great week to be a spectator, unless you were in San Francisco. The Twins, Cubs, Braves, and Dodgers did not play a game below three hours…
MLB 2019 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 6/17: Most Ejections in a Week – EVER
The story of the week is ejections, SEVENTEEN, which is the most that we have seen in a week since 2015, when AMSTS began tracking ejections. Almost evenly split between the two leagues, meaning the gap between the AL and NL remains at only two ejections. On the attendance front, the Marlins were at home…
MLB 2019 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 6/10: Speedy Pace
The Marlins were the only team to draw below 10,000 last week [they also did not draw above 10,000], but no team in MLB managed to get outdrawn by a AA team or below: MLB teams outdrawn by AAA teams: Miami (22 AAA games), Seattle (4 AAA games), Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Detroit (2 games), Cleveland…
MLB 2019 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 6/3: Sub 10,000 Across Florida
The Marlins, Rays, and Orioles all drew below 10,000 for at least one game last week, and the Marlins drew fewer fans in three games than 13 of the other 21 teams drew in their single lowest attended game of the week. As one would expect, there were plenty of MLB games outdrawn by minor…
MLB 2019 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 5/19: More Minor League Marlins
The Marlins nearly had a hundred minor league games better attended than their lowest attended game of the week last week, drawing only 5,947 in to see a game last week. The Marlins averaged 10,300 which actually brought their season attendance up a bit, but overall they are averaging fewer than 10,000 fans on the…
MLB 2019 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 4/28: Ejection Hangover
Tempers spiked last week with fifteen ejections, but apparently everyone got it out of their system, as only two ejections throughout baseball last week. Let’s take a look. The A’s were outdrawn by only AA and AAA teams this week, no Single-A team outdrew them, marking the first time this season an MLB team hasn’t…
MLB 2019 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 4/14: Chilly Weather
We’re into baseball season in April, and with it come the rain delays and cancellations. Both Minnesota and Texas only played four games this week, on account of a scheduled day off and some rainouts. Meanwhile, in Baltimore, some trouble getting butts in seats, as the Orioles had the lowest attended games in Oriole Park…
MLB 2018 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 10/1: Season Finale
The regular season has come to an end, and with it goes Below the Box Score. We’ll have a full season recap for you soon, but first, a look at the last week of the regular season (ignoring both Game 163s here, which will surely be sellouts, right?). With the AAA playoffs being the only…
