The 2016 season
Month by month, the streaks, and the record in the games that are argued about.
They finished 4th in the NL West, 22 games back. They were as far as 25.5 games back on September 25. Their best month was June at 13-14, their worst July at 7-17. The longest runs were a 5-game winning streak from April 17 to April 21 and a 6-game losing streak from April 29 to May 5.

The most lopsided win was 12-2 against the Yankees on May 16; the heaviest defeat, 16-2 at the Red Sox on August 14.

National League West, 2016. 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. 187 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 69-93, a .426 win rate, while their -138 run differential implies .424. That is essentially in line — the record reflects the run scoring.
