MLB attendance for the 2018 season totaled 69.67 million - a whopping four percent decrease from last season and its worst in 15 years - according to Darren Heitner.MLB attendance in 2018 = 69.67 million. Not good.It's a 4% drop from 2017 & the lowest attendance since 2003.Blue Jays had highest drop from 2017 - 878k less attendees.— Darren Heitner (@DarrenHeitner) October 8 http://www.dodgersfanproshop.com/authentic-joc-pederson-jersey , 2018The Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees, St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants rounded out the top four in attendance for a second consecutive year, per ESPN.com attendance figures.But as Heitner noted, the Toronto Blue Jays saw a massive decrease in attendance.聽After the Yankees, Toronto had the best attendance among all American League teams with 39,554 per game - a total of of just over $3.203 million for the season.This year, the Blue Jays ranked just fifth among AL teams in attendance, averaging a mere 29,066 fans per game in 2018. The Baltimore Orioles (4,989 less fans per game compared to 2017) Clayton Kershaw Jersey ,聽Kansas City Royals (7,198), Texas Rangers (almost 5,000), and the Detroit Tigers (5,449), are among the teams who saw attendance drop significantly in 2018.advertising via SportsnetOnce among the top teams in the AL, the Jays, Orioles Royals, Tigers and Rangers are among the worst teams in the majors now. The fans simply weren't willing to shell out money to see bottom feeders, which obviously hurt MLB attendance.It also didn't help MLB in that聽most division races and playoff spots virtually locked up heading into September http://www.dodgersfanproshop.com/authentic-justin-turner-jersey , meaning most fans had lost hope in seeing their teams chase down postseason berths. Without much to聽cheer about, some fans had good reason not to help up MLB attendance in 2019.Bloomberg.com projected that MLB lost about $93.7 million in ticket revenue alone for the 2018 season. Fans and pundits can project multiple factors for lost revenue and attendance, but it simply came down to many of these teams not displaying a winner on the field, and the fans simply didn't want to watch.advertisingMLB also endured a woeful decline in offense, with the MLB average BA finishing at .248, the lowest since 1972, per Baseball Reference. Games averaged just 4.45 runs per contest, compared to 4.65 a year ago.Perhaps too many losing teams and a lack of offense drove baseball fans away from the park in 2018. It's their worst attendance in 15 years, but perhaps the league will get back on track for the 2019 season. LOS ANGELES (AP) — The power went out for the Los Angeles Dodgers, but not their luck.Justin Turner blooped an RBI double to drive in Matt Kemp from second base on the first pitch after a 20-minute power outage in the 12th inning, giving the Dodgers an odd 5-4 victory over the San Diego Padres on Saturday night.“That Sandy Koufax Jersey ,” said Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, “was a weird one.”Manny Machado and Max Muncy each hit their 30th home run of the season, and the Dodgers overcame a third consecutive blown save by All-Star closer Kenley Jansen after Clayton Kershaw threw eight strong innings.The power went out in the 12th with Kemp standing at second base and one out.When play resumed, Turner blooped the first pitch from rookie reliever Robert Stock (0-1) into no-man’s land in right field. The ball fell between three defenders.Kemp hadn’t drifted far from second, uncertain whether the ball would be caught. But when it dropped, he rounded third and scored without a play.After the game, the Dodgers released a statement saying the outage was due to “a disruption in the city’s power feed” to the ballpark.For the Padres, it was their fourth straight loss.“It’s tough to lose on that fluky hit to right,” manager Andy Green said. “It’s been a tough year for us — it’s no secret. We know where we are in this process.”Dodgers rookie Caleb Ferguson (4-2) earned the win with two innings of scoreless relief.Machado’s three-run homer in the first and Muncy’s solo shot in the seventh had the Dodgers leading 4-3 entering the ninth. San Diego had scored on a solo homer from Franmil Reyes, an RBI single by Freddy Galvis and an unearned run on Eric Hosmer’s groundout.All that came before Austin Hedges connected for his 11th home run of the season against Jansen, who has coughed up the lead three straight times since returning from a stint on the disabled list due to an irregular heartbeat.In blowing three consecutive saves http://www.dodgersfanproshop.com/authentic-yasiel-puig-jersey , Jansen has allowed four home runs.LIGHTS OUTIt was the second time this season the power went out at Dodger Stadium. This time it came later in the night, and for a few seconds the stadium was completely black.“Honestly, I’ve never really seen it that dark before,” said San Diego’s Wil Myers. “It was pitch-black. I couldn’t see anything. I didn’t know what was going on but didn’t want to think the worst right away.”JANSEN’S WOESRoberts said he would give the struggling Jansen the day off Sunday in hopes that, coupled with Monday’s off day, it would provide him a mental break.“I’m fine. I don’t need a mental break,” Jansen said. “I just have to figure out some stuff and sharpen up.”Kershaw said he thinks Jansen is close to returning to form.“We all believe in him,” Kershaw said. “He’s not far off.“The velocity is there, the cut is there. It’s just a matter of time.”TRAINER’S ROOMPadres: LHP Eric Lauer (strained forearm) threw 61 pitches in a rehab start for Triple-A El Paso on Friday and is moving closer to rejoining the team. Green said Lauer’s fastball got up to 95 mph. “And it had some jump on it,” Green said. “All the secondary (pitches) had sharpness. We’re moving closer to activating him.”Dodgers: RHP Ross Stripling (back) threw to hitters and is expected to be activated Tuesday. … OF Joc Pederson was out of the starting lineup with a bruised and strained left knee after fouling off a pitch Friday. He did pinch-hit in the ninth and Roberts said Pederson is scheduled to start Tuesday. … LHP Julio Urias, scheduled to be a Sept. 1 call-up Hyun-Jin Ryu Jersey , was reinstated from the 60-day disabled list and optioned to Class A Rancho Cucamonga. To make room for him, RHP Josh Fields (shoulder inflammation) was transferred to the 60-day DL.UP NEXTPadres: LHP Robbie Erlin (2-3, 3.46 ERA) is scheduled to make his fifth consecutive start after spending most of the season as a reliever. He was 1-1 with a 2.05 ERA as a reliever. In his last four starts, he’s gone 3-1 with a 3.43 ERA.Dodgers: LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu (3-1, 2.27) will make his third start since coming off the DL after being sidelined by a groin tear. In 10 innings during his first two starts back, he has allowed three runs on seven hits with 10 strikeouts and a walk.
