Okay, so I wanted to keep a closer eye on how the Venezuelan guys were doing in MLB this season. You know, just track their specific results, the “resultados” for our players. It sounds simple, but honestly, finding just that info easily is kind of a hassle.
First, I tried the usual big sports websites and apps. Like, the official MLB site, ESPN, stuff like that. They have tons of stats, sure, but it’s all mixed together. I just wanted to see, quick and dirty, how players like Acuña Jr., Arraez, or maybe some pitchers like Pablo López did yesterday. Filtering by nationality? Forget it, not really a thing on those main platforms without a lot of clicking around every single day. It got annoying fast.
I spent a few days just searching player names one by one. That worked, yeah, but it took way too much time. Every morning, I’d be typing in like 10-15 names, scrolling through game logs. It wasn’t fun, felt like real work.
Figuring Out My Own Way
So, I thought, screw it, I’ll just make my own simple tracking thing. Nothing fancy. I grabbed a list of all the active Venezuelan players in the big leagues. Had to look that up first, used a couple of baseball reference sites to make sure I didn’t miss anyone major. Took a little while to compile that list.
Then, I just opened up a basic spreadsheet. Nothing complicated, you know? I made a few columns:
- Date
- Player Name
- Team
- Opponent
- Key Stat 1 (like At-Bats/Hits for hitters, Innings Pitched for pitchers)
- Key Stat 2 (like RBIs/Home Runs or Strikeouts/Earned Runs)
- Quick Note (like ‘walk-off hit!’ or ‘tough outing’)
And that was basically it. Every morning, or sometimes later in the day, I’d spend maybe 15 minutes checking the box scores from the previous day’s games. I’d scan for the names on my list. If they played, I’d just pop their main stats into my spreadsheet. Super simple.
It wasn’t automated, definitely not high-tech. But you know what? It worked perfectly for what I wanted. I had my own little dashboard, just focused on the Venezuelan players. I could see trends, who was hot, who was struggling, all in one place that I controlled. Sometimes I’d add a bold note if someone had a really big game or reached a milestone.
So yeah, that’s my process. A bit manual, maybe a little old school, but it gives me exactly the “resultados mlb venezolano” I was looking for, without digging through tons of other noise. Gets the job done for me.
