The 2021 season
Month by month, the streaks, and the record in the games that are argued about.
They finished 5th in the AL West, 35 games back. They were as far as 36 games back on September 22. Their best month was Sept/Oct at 13-17, their worst July at 6-18. The longest runs were a 4-game winning streak from June 25 to June 29 and a 12-game losing streak from July 10 to July 25. They were 36-45 at home and 24-57 on the road, 18-21 in one-run games and 34-63 against clubs that finished .500 or better. The most lopsided win was 12-1 at the Dodgers on June 12; the heaviest defeat, 14-0 at the Tigers on July 19.

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. 181 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
Texas Rangers are 60-102, a .370 win rate, while their -190 run differential implies .381. That is essentially in line — the record reflects the run scoring.
