So, I’ve been glued to the screen watching the Yankees and the Astros go at it again. What a wild ride! These matchups are always intense, right? I decided to really get into it this time and track the player stats myself. Here’s how I went about it.
First off, I grabbed a pen and a notebook—yeah, I’m old school like that. I thought about using an app or something, but I like the feel of paper, you know? Plus, it helps me focus. I listed all the players from both teams. I mean, we’ve got some big names here—Aaron Judge, for instance—so I made sure everyone was on my list.
Then, the game started. Every time a player did something noteworthy, I’d jot it down. For example, Judge was on fire! I wrote down “3 hits, 2 doubles, 1 homer, and 3 RBIs” next to his name. Man, that guy can swing! It felt like reliving those awesome moments just by writing them down.
I kept at it, marking down each hit, each run, each strikeout. It was a bit hectic, especially when the game got really intense in the later innings. There was this one moment where the Yankees pulled off a crazy play, and I was scrambling to get it all down. My notes started looking like a spider’s web, but hey, it was all part of the fun.
- Aaron Judge: 3 H, 2 2B, 1 HR, 3 RBIs
- Carlos Rodon: Watched closely to see how Gerrit Cole would handle the moment.
By the end of the game, my notebook was a mess, but a beautiful mess. I had pages filled with stats, notes, and little doodles of excitement. I even managed to compare the teams’ head-to-head regular season and playoff stats. It was interesting to see how these two giants stack up against each other.
I also noticed the Astros’ seven-year streak in the ALCS ended when they were swept by the Tigers. And I took a close look at Rodon’s composure during the game and made a note about that.
Reflecting on the Game
After the game ended, I took some time to reflect. It wasn’t just about the numbers; it was about the performances, the strategies, and those nail-biting moments. It’s amazing how much you can pick up when you’re really paying attention and documenting everything.
In the end, doing this made me feel more connected to the game. It wasn’t just about watching; it was about being a part of it in my own little way. Plus, I ended up with a cool record of the game that I could look back on. Definitely going to do this again for the next big game!
