Hey guys, I wanna share something I’ve been working on today, and I think some of you might find it useful. Today’s topic is about getting the player stats for the Phillies vs. Kansas City Royals match. Let’s dive right in.
So, first off, I went to look for the schedule, you know, to see when the game was actually happening. Turns out, there weren’t any games scheduled for today. That’s a bit of a bummer, but it happens. I guess we’ll have to look at past or future matches.
Next, I started digging around for some head-to-head stats between the two teams. I checked their regular season and playoff stats, championships, and win-loss percentages. It’s always interesting to see how teams stack up against each other historically.
After that, I got curious about the top players who played for both teams. For example, I found out that Tom Gordon played 3 seasons for the Phillies and 8 seasons for the Royals. Carlos Santana is another one – he played 2 seasons for the Royals and 1 season for the Phillies. There’s actually a bunch of players who have been on both teams, like 81 of them, according to my notes.
Then I tried to find a specific box score for a recent game. I stumbled upon one from August 24, 2024, at Ewing M. Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City. It looks like the Phillies beat the Royals 11-2 in that game. The attendance was 27,002, and the game lasted 2 hours and 44 minutes. I even managed to get the complete box score and play-by-play from that match, which is pretty cool.
- I also learned that the Phillies are 16-11 against the Royals in the regular season and playoffs combined. That’s a pretty good record!
- In one of the games, players like Bryce Harper, Alec Bohm, and Castellanos all reached base with one-out singles. That must’ve been an exciting moment!
Lastly, I read somewhere that both teams were looking for a series win on Sunday. The Phillies were 60-51 overall and 29-21 in their games at that time. It sounds like a pretty intense rivalry.
So, that’s what I’ve been up to today. It might not be a complete analysis, but it’s a start. I hope this information is helpful to some of you. I just wanted to share my little data adventure with you all. Let me know if you guys have any other interesting stats or insights about these teams. I would love to hear about it!
