Okay, so, I’ve been wanting to dig into this whole Phillies vs. Mets rivalry for a while now. It’s one of those things that just keeps popping up, and I figured, why not see what the stats say? So I started by just looking up their recent games, you know, to get a feel for how they’ve been doing against each other lately.
First, I went to check some sports news sites, try to find some info about that. I found that the Phillies already made it to the playoff, and the Mets are still fighting for that last NL Wild Card spot. That’s a pretty big deal, right? And it seems like the Atlanta Braves are making things tough for them.
Then I started digging into the 2023 season. The Phillies, man, they did pretty good, 95 wins and 67 losses. I looked up some head-to-head stuff, just to see how often they played and who won more. That’s when things got interesting. You’ve got players like Brandon Nimmo making moves, and Alec Bohm stepping up.
Here’s where I got kind of obsessed: player stats. I mean, there’s Francisco Lindor hitting grand slams, and Sean Manaea winning four games in a row. It’s like, every game has its own little story. I was particularly interested in the game on September 13th. I found some box scores and player stats for that day, and it gave me a better picture of what went down.
I tried to see if I could pull data from different places, to compare, you know? But, like always, each website gives you a piece of the puzzle, but not the whole thing. That’s when I thought about how cool it would be to have all this data in one place.
- Checked out some recent game summaries.
- Compared player performances across a few games.
- Noticed some key players kept popping up, like Bryce Harper with his homers.
- Thought about how to organize all this info in a way that makes sense.
So, I did a little more digging:
It’s a work in progress, but I’m starting to see some patterns. And it’s making me appreciate these games even more. There is a lot of information here to work with, and I have to say it’s pretty exciting. Next, I am going to try to find more about this rivalry and get a bigger picture of the situation.
