Okay, so today I wanted to dig into the stats from the Oakland Athletics vs. Texas Rangers game. I’m a huge baseball fan, and I love looking at the numbers, so I figured I’d track the player stats and share my process.
Getting Started
First, I needed to find a reliable source for the game data. I went to a few different sports websites, you know, the usual ones that everyone checks for live scores and box scores and looked for real time stats.
Collecting the Data
Once I found a good source, I started pulling the stats. Here’s what I focused on for each player:
- Batting: At-bats, runs, hits, RBIs, walks, strikeouts, and batting average.
- Pitching: Innings pitched, hits allowed, runs allowed, earned runs, walks, strikeouts, and ERA.
I decided to use a simple spreadsheet to keep everything organized. It’s not fancy, but it gets the job done. I made columns for each stat and rows for each player. Then, as the game went on, I just filled in the numbers.
Following the Game
It was a bit of a back-and-forth process. Watch a few innings, update the spreadsheet, watch a few more, update again. Sometimes a player would have a big game, racking up hits and RBIs, and sometimes they’d struggle, striking out a bunch. It was interesting to see how the numbers changed throughout the game.
Wrapping Up
After the final out, I had a complete record of all the key player stats. then i was able to look back and see who had a great game and who might want to forget this one.
Anyway, that’s how I tracked the player stats for the A’s vs. Rangers game. Pretty straightforward, right? It’s a fun way to get a little deeper into the game and appreciate the performances of the individual players.
