The 2015 season
Month by month, the streaks, and the record in the games that are argued about.
They finished 3rd in the NL West, 13 games back. They were as far as 15.5 games back on September 14. Their best month was July at 13-11, their worst August at 13-17. The longest runs were a 6-game winning streak from July 25 to July 31 and a 6-game losing streak from July 10 to July 19. They were 39-42 at home and 40-41 on the road, 20-24 in one-run games and 32-53 against clubs that finished .500 or better. The most lopsided win was 13-1 against the Phillies on August 11; the heaviest defeat, 21-5 against the Astros on October 2.

National League West, 2015. Games back of the best record in the division.
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. 184 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 79-83, a .488 win rate, while their +7 run differential implies .504. That is essentially in line — the record reflects the run scoring.
