Okay, so, the 2024 Futures Game. What a day. I decided to get into it and record the whole thing. It was a Saturday, and I woke up pretty excited ’cause, you know, baseball! I made some coffee, grabbed my notebook, and got ready in front of the TV.
First thing, I opened my laptop to find the stream on *. They were showing the pre-game stuff, and the energy was just awesome. Globe Life Field in Arlington looked amazing on the screen. I jotted down the date—July 13, 2024—because, hey, it’s a good detail to remember.
I started noting down everything. The game started, and I was glued to the screen. I had a simple table going in my notebook to keep track of the scores and some key moments. You know, like those moments that make you go “Wow!”.
Game Highlights
The National League team really brought their A-game. I mean, they were hitting well, pitching like there’s no tomorrow. I saw a home run by a player named Collier in the third inning—that was a big one. My notes on that were just “Collier HR – 3rd inning, no outs!”
I was trying to keep track of everything, but man, it was fast-paced. There were some strikeouts that I noted down, like for players named Johnson and Eldridge in the 5th inning. I scribbled “a-Struck out for Johnson” and “b-Struck out for Eldridge” to remind myself who got those strikeouts.
The game went on, and I was just scribbling away. There was a walk for a player named Salas, which I marked as “c-Walked for Salas.” Gotta keep these details straight, right?
Final Score
In the end, the NL team won 6-1. I wrote that down in big, bold letters. NL 6 – AL 1. It was a pretty clear victory. There was another home run in the 6th inning by a guy named Baldwin. I made sure to jot that down too, “Baldwin HR – 6th inning, one out.” These are the moments that really stick with you.
- Collier’s HR in the 3rd inning
- Baldwin’s HR in the 6th inning
- Key strikeouts in the 5th
- NL’s overall solid performance
By the end of the game, my notebook was a mess of scores, names, and little notes. But, you know what? It felt good. I love doing this, breaking down the game and keeping a record. It’s like, I’m part of the action in my own little way.
After the game ended, I took a quick look at Baseball America’s website, just to see what the pros were saying. They had live updates and all that fancy stuff. It was cool to compare my notes with theirs. I mean, I’m no expert, but I like to think I caught most of the big moments. All in all, it was a fun day of baseball, and I’m already looking forward to the next game. Recording these games has become my own little tradition, and I love every bit of it.
