Okay, here’s my post about tracking down the stats for the Yankees vs. Tampa Bay Rays game.
So, I’ve been trying to keep up with the scores and stats for baseball recently. You know how it is, you get interested in something, and suddenly, you gotta know everything. Anyway, I really wanted to dig into the details of the recent Yankees vs. Tampa Bay Rays game. I just had this feeling it was a good one, and I wanted to see all the nitty-gritty.
First thing I did was start with a general search. Just typed in “Yankees vs. Tampa Bay Rays stats” into the search engine. I figured that’d give me a decent starting point. And, yup, it did. I got a whole bunch of results, some about head-to-head records between the two teams and some about recent games.
Then I started to compare the teams. I wanted to get the overall picture, you know? Like, how they’ve been doing against each other, not just this season but in general. I looked into their regular season and playoff stats and win-loss percentages. It was actually pretty cool to see their history mapped out like that.
- I checked out a bunch of different websites. There were some that focused on live coverage and play-by-play stuff.
- Others had these neat little tables showing the results, like the final score, who won, and that kind of thing.
I wanted to know who were the heroes in the recent match. I read this piece that mentioned a Nelson Cortes who had an amazing performance, throwing a three-hit shutout into the ninth inning. And there was also a mention about Matt Carpenter doing some good stuff too.

But I wanted more than that. I wanted the player stats. So I started looking for places that had detailed breakdowns. I found one that had this neat pitch-by-pitch strikezone info. I was going through it and was like, “Man, this is exactly what I was looking for!”. I could see each player’s performance, how many hits they got, runs, RBIs, all that good stuff.
It took a bit of clicking around, but I eventually found what I was looking for. A full box score breakdown, showing every player’s stats for the game. It was awesome! I could see exactly who did what, who had a good game, and who might’ve had a bit of a rough one. It was like being right there at the game, except I was in my pajamas, on my couch.
Anyway, that’s how I spent my afternoon – digging into baseball stats. It might sound kinda boring to some, but I really enjoyed it. It’s like solving a little puzzle, and you get to learn a bunch of stuff along the way. And hey, now I’m all set for the next game, armed with all this knowledge. Now, I can follow the game and know exactly what happened, without even actually watching it. Pretty neat, right?
