Man, what a wild ride it’s been trying to get the lowdown on the Braves vs. Padres game. I really wanted to see how the players did, you know? So, I started digging around the internet, hoping to find some solid stats.
First, I bumped into some stuff about the 2024 NL Wild Card series. Apparently, this was the first game between the San Diego Padres and the Atlanta Braves. It went down at Petco Park, and guess what? The Braves actually beat the Mets in some other game before. I’m not too sure what happened there, but it sounded like a big deal.
Then, I found this other piece talking about Fernando Tatis Jr. hitting a massive two-run homer on his first playoff swing in four years! Can you believe that? And this guy, Michael King, struck out 12 batters in his first postseason start. The Padres must have been on fire!
I was curious about how these teams stacked up against each other, so I looked for some head-to-head stats. Regular season, playoff stats, championships, win-loss percentages… the whole nine yards. It was interesting to see their history.
Next, I tried to find the details for the game played on October 2, 2024. Box score, stats, odds, highlights, play-by-play… everything I could get my hands on. It was a bit of a struggle, but I managed to piece some of it together.
Some Real Action
Oh, and get this, I read that Kyle Higashioka hit a solo homer that started a five-run rally against Max Fried, who was apparently not feeling his best. This all happened with two outs in the second inning! What a turn of events.
- Ozzie Albies was another name that popped up. Some fancy projection system called “THE BAT X” had him in the 83rd percentile for some positive match player stats in the second game of the series. I’m not sure what all that means, but it sounds pretty good.
It took a lot of searching, and honestly, it wasn’t easy to find everything I wanted. But I managed to gather a decent amount of info on the Braves vs. Padres game. It sounds like it was a heck of a match, and I’m kind of bummed I didn’t get to watch it live. Still, it was fun to track down these stats and see how the players performed.
