The 2010 season

Month by month, the streaks, and the record in the games that are argued about.

They finished 3rd in the NL Central, 14 games back. They spent 1 of 182 days in first place and were as far as 17 games back on September 4. Their best month was June at 14-13, their worst March/April at 9-14. The longest runs were a 5-game winning streak from June 20 to June 25 and a 9-game losing streak from May 10 to May 19. They were 40-41 at home and 37-44 on the road, 26-23 in one-run games and 28-46 against clubs that finished .500 or better. The most lopsided win was 20-0 at the Pirates on April 22; the heaviest defeat, 15-2 against the Giants on July 7.

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.

Regulation games only, in minutes. 179 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

Milwaukee Brewers are 77-85, a .475 win rate, while their -54 run differential implies .468. That is essentially in line — the record reflects the run scoring.
