The 2011 season
Month by month, the streaks, and the record in the games that are argued about.
They finished 5th in the NL West, 23 games back. They spent 4 of 182 days in first place, led by as many as 0.5 games on April 2 and were as far as 24 games back on September 13. Their best month was May at 14-14, their worst March/April at 10-17. The longest runs were a 5-game winning streak from August 18 to August 23 and a 9-game losing streak from August 24 to September 3. They were 35-46 at home and 36-45 on the road, 20-31 in one-run games and 31-54 against clubs that finished .500 or better. The most lopsided win was 14-1 against the Marlins on August 20; the heaviest defeat, 13-1 at the Reds on August 13.

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. 168 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
San Diego Padres are 71-91, a .438 win rate, while their -18 run differential implies .486. That is about 8 wins behind it, which tends to regress upward.
