Alright, let’s talk about how I went about grabbing the player stats for that Padres versus Rockies game. It wasn’t anything too fancy, just my usual routine when I need to check up on a game.
First off, I figured I needed the box score. That’s usually the quickest way to see who did what. So, I opened up my usual sports news source on my computer. Didn’t go to any super specific site right away, just the main one I browse daily.
I navigated to the baseball section, MLB scores specifically. Had to find the game listing for the Padres and Rockies. Sometimes you gotta scroll a bit depending on how many games were played that day.
Finding the Game Details
Once I located the game, I clicked into the full summary or box score page. This is where the good stuff is.
Here’s what I focused on getting:
- For hitters: At-bats, runs, hits, RBIs, home runs, maybe walks and strikeouts too. Wanted to see who was hot and who wasn’t.
- For pitchers: Innings pitched, hits allowed, runs (especially earned runs), walks, and strikeouts. Crucial to see how the starters and relievers performed.
Digging into the Numbers
I started jotting down the key performances. Looked at the Padres lineup first. Made notes on guys like Tatis Jr., Machado, Cronenworth – whoever stood out, good or bad. Just simple notes, like “Machado 2-for-4, 1 HR, 2 RBI” or something similar.
Then I did the same for the Rockies. Checked out Blackmon, McMahon, guys like that. You gotta see both sides to get the full picture, right?
Checked the starting pitchers’ lines carefully. Who got the win, who got the loss? How many pitches did they throw? That stuff tells a story.
Finally, I glanced over the relief pitchers for both teams. Sometimes a reliever’s performance can be the deciding factor, so I wanted to see if anyone blew up or shut the door.
So yeah, that was basically it. Just went to my regular sports spot online, pulled up the box score, and systematically went through the hitting and pitching stats for both teams. Nothing magical, just a bit of clicking and reading. Got the info I needed logged down pretty quick.
