Alright, so I got interested in tracking Corbin Burnes more closely this season. Not for anything super serious, just kinda wanted to see the game-by-game details myself, you know? Instead of just looking at the season totals.
First thing I did was just hop on my computer. Went to my usual search engine, typed in something like “Corbin Burnes game log” or “Burnes stats per game”. Pretty basic stuff.
Got a bunch of results, mostly the big sports statistics sites. I clicked around a few of them. What I was looking for wasn’t just the win-loss record, but the deeper stuff. You know, like:
- How many innings he actually pitched each time.
- The strikeout numbers, ’cause that’s always fun.
- Walks issued – gotta keep those down.
- Earned runs, obviously. Big factor.
- Sometimes they even show pitch counts, which is neat to see.
My Tracking Process
So, I found a couple of places that laid it out pretty clearly, game by game, with the dates and opponents. I didn’t need anything fancy. Honestly, I just started pulling the numbers I cared about after each of his starts.
I kept it simple. Sometimes I’d just jot down the key stats in a little notebook I keep on my desk. Other times, if I was already at the computer, I’d open up a basic text file or a simple spreadsheet and just type it in there. Like, Date, Opponent, IP, K, BB, ER. That was usually enough for me.
I wasn’t doing complex data analysis or anything. It was more about getting a feel for his performance flow. Is he better at home? Does he struggle against certain teams? Seeing the logs lined up helps you spot little trends maybe the overall season stats hide.
For example, I started noticing his strikeout totals seemed really high in some games and just okay in others. Looking at the log helped me connect that to maybe the opponent or if it was a home or away game. Just my own little observations.
It became a small ritual, really. After he pitched, I’d go find the log for that game later that night or the next day and add it to my little list. Took maybe five minutes. It’s just a straightforward way I found to keep tabs on how he’s doing, beyond just the highlights or the final score.
So yeah, that’s my process. Nothing groundbreaking, just a practical way I found to follow a player’s performance game by game using the readily available game logs online. Simple, but it works for me.
