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 – Weeks of 7/1 and 7/8: All Star Break!
Editor note: Apologies for the lack of post last week, but AMSTS went on vacation. This week’s edition will cover the two week period ending on Sunday July 7th. With everyone having hosted a home game in the last two weeks, the full board was up to play, and Miami did not disappoint, drawing 6,276…
MLB 2019 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 6/24: Highest Midseason Attendance Week of the Year
Last week saw some of the highest attendance numbers of the year, accounting not only on the fact that Miami and Tampa Bay were on the road, but even Oakland had decent attendance. The low water mark was the A’s vs the O’s with a completely-not-made-up 12,345 in attendance. The good news in all this…
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 5/26: Ideal Weather Nationwide
The Marlins being out of town and a holiday weekend helped buoy attendance this week, with only one team, the Pirates, drawing under 10,000, which happened to also be the only team to be outdrawn by minor league teams this week: MLB teams outdrawn by AAA teams: Pittsburgh (16 AAA games) The NL continued to…
MLB 2019 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 5/12: Ejection Catchup
The big surprise of the week is that only two teams across MLB were outdrawn by minor league teams, the Rays and the A’s, for a total of 35 games: MLB teams outdrawn by AAA teams: Tampa Bay (19 AAA games), Oakland (9 games) MLB teams outdrawn by AA teams: Tampa Bay (2 games) MLB…
MLB 2019 Ejections, Attendance & Weather – Week of 5/5: M-Single A-rlins
The Miami Marlins and their pathetic attendance is the front line this week as the Marlins once again were outdrawn by a Single-A game three times this week, and by 26 more AAA games than any other MLB team: MLB teams outdrawn by AAA teams: Miami (37 AAA games), Baltimore (12 games),…
