Christian Marrero scouting report
Sox attendance: 14 percent below average
Here is the attendance index for each team (taken simply as the fans per home game, divided by the MLB average, for that season), averaged from 1969-2006. Number 1 is the Dodgers, who had 61% more fans than average, on average (while playing .534 ball in that time frame):
Att_Index win_percent years team ... 0.86 0.501 38 CHA
That’s 86%. 14% below average.
How about when the Sox play under .500?
Att_Index win_percent years team
...
0.72 0.45 18 CHA
That’s 72%. 28% below average.
and when the Sox play over .500:
Att_Index win_percent years team
...
0.98 0.548 20 CHA
That’s 98%. Just 2% below average.
So, keep winning and the fans will be coming Kenny!
AFL Day 7 [UPDATE]
Peoria Javelinas vs. Mesa Solar Sox: Boxscore, Gameday. Dayan Viciedo is playing 3B. C.J. Retherford is playing DH. Weather: 88 degrees, sunny.
BTW, here’s Jonathan Mayo:
Sergio Santos, White Sox: Like Lo, he’s gone four innings without allowing a run. He has yielded five hits, but hasn’t walked anyone and has struck out four. Plus, it’s a cool story since Santos played in the Fall League a few years back as a shortstop.
And C.J. Retherford is twitting @ CJRetherfordAFL.
UPDATE: Peoria won 8-1:
Dayan Viciedo: 1-5, 2 RBI, 2 K, .333 AVG
C.J. Retherford: 0-2, 1 BB, .364 AVG
Jordan Danks: 1-1, 1 HR, 1 BB, .357 AVG
Jacob Rasner: 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 K, 0 BB, 0 HR, 33.75 ERA
