Okay, so today I wanted to dig into the stats for the Seattle Mariners vs. Texas Rangers game. You know, just for fun, to see who’s performing well and maybe get some insights for future games.
Getting Started
First, I needed to find a place to get the data. I’m use some websites that provide MLB player statistics.
I typed “Seattle Mariners vs Texas Rangers player stats” into the search box and boom, the game I wanted popped right up.
Diving into the Data
Once I got to the main page, I could see the usual stuff: team lineups, box scores, and all that. But I wanted more detail, so I started looking around for individual player stats.
It had options for both teams. Since I was just checking out both sides, I browsed through both the Mariners and the Rangers players.
Analyzing the Stats
I started with the batters. I was looking at things like:
- AB: At-Bats – How many times they came up to the plate.
- H: Hits – How many times they got a hit.
- RBI: Runs Batted In – How many runs they scored for the team.
- AVG: Batting Average, BA – The percentage of at-bats where the batter got a hit.
- HR： Home Runs – How many home runs they had.
For the pitchers, I was looking at things like：
- IP: Innings Pitched – How many innings they pitched.
- H: Hits Allowed – How many hits they gave up.
- R: Runs Allowed – How many runs they let the other team score.
- ER: Earned Runs – How many runs were “earned” (not due to errors).
- ERA: Earned Run Average – A measure of how well they pitched.
- K: Strikeouts – How many batters they struck out.
I didn’t have any super specific questions in mind, I just kind of scrolled through, looking at who had a good game and who might have struggled. It’s interesting to see how different players contribute, some might get a lot of hits, others might hit a key home run, and the pitchers, you can tell who was dominating and who had a tough time.
Wrapping Up
After spending some time with the stats, I felt like I had a better understanding of how the game played out, even without watching *’s pretty cool how much you can learn just from looking at the numbers.I thought might give some insights to someone. Maybe next time I’ll compare stats across multiple games to see if I can spot any trends!
