The 2013 season

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

They finished tied for 3rd in the NL West, 16 games back. They spent 29 of 183 days in first place, led by as many as 2.5 games on May 13 and were as far as 22 games back on September 3. Their best month was Sept/Oct at 16-11, their worst July at 8-17. The longest runs were a 6-game winning streak from April 29 to May 5 and a 6-game losing streak from June 23 to June 29. They were 41-40 at home and 35-46 on the road, 28-28 in one-run games and 41-46 against clubs that finished .500 or better. The most lopsided win was 19-3 at the Dodgers on September 14; the heaviest defeat, 14-3 against the Cardinals on April 7.

Record by month. March games count toward April, October’s toward September.

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. 180 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 Francisco Giants are 76-86, a .469 win rate, while their -62 run differential implies .457. That is essentially in line — the record reflects the run scoring.
