The 2014 season
Month by month, the streaks, and the record in the games that are argued about.
They finished 5th in the NL West, 30 games back. They were as far as 30 games back on September 28. Their best month was July at 13-12, their worst Sept/Oct at 7-19.

The most lopsided win was 18-7 against the Dodgers on May 17; the heaviest defeat, 15-3 at the Rockies on September 19.

The players whose season belongs to this club, by position and then by dbWAR. A player traded mid-season is listed with the club he played most of his games for, so a deadline arrival may appear on his other club’s page instead.
Each rectangle is a player, sized by his share of the team's hits; darker means a larger share. Top 30 contributors. Select a different statistic above, or click a player for his page.
Day and night divide the home schedule, and so do weekend and weekday. The road line is a different question.

Announced gate — tickets distributed, which is the figure every reference publishes and is not the same as people through the turnstile. A game the feed reports no gate for is left out rather than counted as empty. Seasons before attendance was carried into the lake are absent from the trend rather than shown as zero.

By season
Regulation games only, in minutes. 177 minutes this season.
Elapsed time from first pitch to final out. The feed does not itemise delays, so a rain delay is inside these numbers with no way to subtract it. Games called early are excluded — five innings in ninety-three minutes is not a short game — but they still count in attendance, because the crowd turned up.
Record versus run differential
Arizona Diamondbacks are 64-98, a .395 win rate, while their -127 run differential implies .415. That is essentially in line — the record reflects the run scoring.
