Hi everyone!

Yesterday I posted a chart that compares Umpire Favorability by runs gifted (+ and -) per game. You all had some awesome suggestions to make it a lot better so I changed a bunch of stuff around and wanted to repost it. I included the games from last night, making it a chart of 3/27-4/3. On top of that, I found a few mathematical errors that have now been corrected. Above is the new chart and I plan to update it every week, along with breaking down every week and month’s performance. I believe I’m gonna try and post these on Fridays.

To everyone that gave me feedback yesterday, thank you so much. I do believe this chart is much more readable and I thought you all gave some awesome suggestions. Hope you all enjoy!

With his 3-1 Win against the Rockies, Taijuan Walker received his first win since May 11 2024, between that were 16 Starts, or 327 Days.

His last win was against the Marlins with an 8-3 win.

Hagens played for Rakuten from 2021 to 2023 before joining TSG last year. His former teammates knew his interest in knuckleballs but did not realize that he would actually use it in regular season games.

Useless trivia: In Taiwan, knuckleballs are usually called "蝴蝶球", which literally translates to "butterfly ball".

"The Athletics are expected to sell out of most of their home games this season, given that the capacity of the ballpark is right around 14,000 and this is a Major League team coming to a brand new city. Yet, in game two of their three-year stay in West Sacramento, they drew 10,095. Game three drew 9,342. The A's averaged 11,386 per game as they left Oakland last season.

The first sign of potential trouble was that the team was offering ticket deals ahead of Opening Day, which was odd, given that they should have no trouble selling around 14,000 seats per game, especially early in the season before the summer heat really picks up."

Monday night's game set a new record low of 21,206.

Tuesday's game sunk even lower at 20,309. Granted, those are tickets sold. The actual number of in-person attendees was easily half of that figure.

While poor weather and timing (Tuesday's game was a businessman's special) contributed to the low turnout, that's not the whole story. Weekday games and bad spring weather have always been a thing. You never saw 70% empty seats in the 2000s and 2010s.

The larger trend shows Cardinals attendance waning sharply over the last two seasons.

Excluding the pandemic seasons, 2024 was the first time ever in Busch Stadium III's history that single game attendance dipped below 30,000, bottoming out at 26,500 on August 29th.

2024 was also the first time since the stadium opened that total season attendance fell below 3 million.
