Alright, so, I’ve been meaning to keep better track of the baseball games I watch. Just for fun, you know? I’m no sports analyst, but I do love the game. Today, I decided to actually write down some notes while watching the LSU vs. Texas game. Let me tell you, it was a good one to start with!
I kicked things off by grabbing my notebook and a pen. Then, I opened up a few different sports websites on my laptop. I figured this way, I could watch the game and easily look up scores and player stats as I went along. Nothing fancy, just some good old-fashioned multi-tasking.
Setting the Scene
LSU, ranked number one, was coming into this game on a six-game winning streak. They were the visitors, playing against Texas in Austin. The atmosphere was electric, even through the screen. Texas always has a strong home crowd.
Keeping Track
- Game Start: The game kicked off at 6:30 PM. I made a note of that right at the top of my page.
- Pitchers: I jotted down that Ty Floyd was starting on the mound for LSU. I recognized his name from somewhere, probably a previous game. I also saw mentions of a pitcher named Ackenhausen for Texas. Seemed like a good guy to know, considering the pressure to pitch in the 9th.
- Plays: As the game went on, I started scribbling down key plays. It was tough to keep up, honestly! But I did manage to catch a few highlights. For instance, I wrote down “Braswell III singled through the left side” in the 4th inning. Then, when things got down to the final inning, I made a note of a guy called Johnson who faced a couple of batters before a substitute.
Wrapping Up
By the end of the game, my page was a mess of notes and scribbles. It wasn’t pretty, but it was a start! I realized that keeping track of every single play is way too hard, but noting down key moments and players is definitely doable. I’m going to keep doing this, maybe refine my system a bit. It’s kind of fun to look back and remember the game, even if my notes are a bit chaotic. I’m no expert, just a guy who enjoys baseball and wants to remember the games he watches. This feels like a good way to do it.
