@Royals Could anyone update Gore's MLB player page with the date of his death and the fact that he won multiple World Series (unless he doesn't get "credit" for those since he wasn't on the World Series roster)? @MLB @MLBPA @Braves @Dodgers

@swampsteve Between hosting costs, my domain name registration, and estimates for X API, I'm looking at a total of about $170 per year. This excludes any time I put into maintenance / updates myself, but I consider it a hobby, so I'm not looking for any reimbursement for my time.

[Brent Butler @BrentButler]

@Royals This was lovely!

Why does his MLB player page still not show the date of his death? Also, it only shows the 2021 title with Atlanta; why?

@Royals Who’s responsible for updating his MLB page, both with the date of his passing and the correction that he was on three World Series winning rosters, not just one?
@MLB @MLBPA

@XDevelopers @grok I run a Chicago Cubs fan bot that posts about 4 times per game. It doesn’t ask anything else of the API. What would that look like pricing-wise? What’s a “for-good Public Utility app”?

[Brent Butler @BrentButler]

@baseballhall @SFGiants Anyone feel like correcting this? Kent is HOF Class of '26 instead of '25, right?

[Brent Butler @BrentButler]

@MLB Please fix.

@WatchMarquee Why is the stream a choppy 30fps on Apple TV from St. Louis? Do they only have AOL there or something?

[Brent Butler @BrentButler]

@WatchMarquee fix the audio, please

@WatchMarquee The building beyond straight center at Comerica is the Detroit Athletic Club.

@WatchMarquee @EliseMenaker It was a ball.

[Cubs No-Hit Streak Bot @CubsNHS_Bot]

I love running The Bot™ (now in its 8th season) and will keep it going as long as I’m able. That said, it is a time commitment and has some costs. If you’d like to support it, you can at https://t.co/yITEr5YHOx

No obligation, just appreciated! 🫡

Go Cubs. ⚾️💙

@PrazMaster Pretty sure I know what you're referring to. 😉 That doesn't happen until No. 1,649. #spoilers

@Cubs @MotorolaUS Isn’t this exclusive to ESPN tonight?
And why are the Cubs the only MLB team not officially on Bluesky yet?

@PrazMaster @CubsNHS_Bot @Cubs

[Brent Butler @BrentButler]

@PrazMaster For the record, Blauser extended The Streak™ 14 times, including during his last game in the majors. In fact, his last MLB hit was a Streak Extender.

[Brent Butler @BrentButler]

@PrazMaster Well... I was fixing a bug with this new #TBT thing and was going to delete this latest test. Now I guess I won't!

Potentially interesting for it to pick one "on this date" at random, right?

[Brent Butler @BrentButler]

@bears_fan25 @Cubs_Highlights The joy of automation.

@Cubs when.
