MLB 2018 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 7/23: Lots of Records!
A short update this week, with the All-Star break limiting the number of games played on the week, but not the number of records set! Only the Rays were outdrawn by a handful of minor league teams last week, a big improvement over most weeks. The short overview: MLB teams outdrawn by AAA teams: Tampa (outdrawn…
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 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: 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 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…
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…
