Not back on it, Joe, still on it… Four teams in MLB that had winning records in 2007 have seen their home attendance fluctuate by more than 10% in 2008:
| Winning Pct | Attendance | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Team | 2007 | 2008 | Diff (%) | 2007 | 2008 | Diff (%) |
| Statistics are courtesy of Baseball-Reference and are through games of May 25, 2008. | ||||||
| Mariners | .543 | .353 | -35.0 | 32,990 | 27,090 | -17.9 |
| Indians | .593 | .460 | -22.4 | 28,098 | 23,919 | -14.9 |
| Padres | .546 | .365 | -33.2 | 34,234 | 29,546 | -13.7 |
| Rockies | .552 | .400 | -27.5 | 29,156 | 33,149 | +13.7 |
The Rockies have seen their numbers increase more than any other team except the Nationals, who have a shiny new stadium. Apparently reaching the World Series entitles one to a certain degree of immunity from fickleness…
Kevin Kouzmanoff in May: 309/.343/.521
#32@Richard Wade: Yup, seems that 8 spot was the difference maker. For Khalil’s career, BB/PA:
batting 8th: 10.2%
batting anywhere else in lineup: 5.8%
Take some darn walks, Kouz.
#53@Stephen: It’s hard to complain about a lack of walks when a guy is batting over .300 and slugging over .500.
Gonzalez is on pace for 46 homers and 162 games.
Newest Padre: Cha Seung Baek
#56 Who did we trade him for?
Jared Well is gone.
#57@SD Padres Girl: Jared Wells according the Channel 4.
