Okay, so today I wanted to dig into the stats for the Seattle Mariners vs. Texas Rangers game. I’m a huge baseball fan, and I always like to see how individual players are performing.

Getting Started
First, I needed to find a good source for the data. I tried a few different sports websites, you know, the usual ones. It took a bit of clicking around to find exactly what I was after – a detailed breakdown of each player’s stats for that specific game.
Diving into the Data
Once I got the right page, I started checking out the numbers. For the hitters, I was mostly interested in:
- At-Bats (AB):How many times they came up to the plate.
- Hits (H): How many times they got a hit.
- Runs Batted In (RBI): How many runs they scored for the team.
- Home Runs (HR): Always exciting to see who hit it out of the park!
Then, for the pitchers, I focused on:
- Innings Pitched (IP):How many innings they were on the mound.
- Earned Runs (ER): How many runs the other team scored that were the pitcher’s “fault”.
- Strikeouts (K): How many batters they struck out.
Making Sense of It All
I spent some time comparing the players’ stats, looking for standouts. I looked for a batter on either team who have high amout of Hits, and which one of them got a Home Run.
I did same for the pitchers, I looked for the pitcher who played the most Inning Pitched and checked how many Earned Runs and Strikeouts they got.
It was pretty cool to see all the details laid out like that. It really helps you get a better feel for how each player contributed to the game, beyond just watching the highlights. It definitely made me appreciate the game even more!
