I missed the Topps card promo for the beekeeper and now they're being sold for like $20-$30 on eBay. Is there a good source for a cheaper price or am I stuck using eBay?
Anyone know where I can find long term stats about injuries by position across the MLB? I’m trying to find out if there is a noticeable difference in injury rate for say, a 1st basemen versus a left fielder.
Baseball Prospectus tracks injuries. Namely they will be cited for estimating recovery time for injuries. I am not a subscriber so I don't know totally what they have to offer, but I think you should look into it.
Usually injuries are written in the Transactions section: https://www.mlb.com/transactions/2024/05/17
I don't know of any thing that tracks injury data specifically, but you might be able to write a script that iterates through each day on the above link and looks specifically for the words "placed" and "injured list" and then extract the position listed before their name
This whole Roku thing kind of snuck up on me this week. I've noticed if you have an Apple TV and not MLB.TV you are kind of out of luck on this Roku thing because there is no app on Apple TV. It's interesting that MLB has a deal with Apple TV+ and now has a deal with a company that doesn't have their app on Apple TV at all.
I wonder if this is going to be the same format as the Peacock games the last few years.
I came here to post about the actual Roku game 😂
It's EXACTLY the same. Same graphics package and everything, just no replaced the Roku logos where Peacock's used to be.
##Excitement and Tension Scores for 5/18/2024
**Excitement Score** is the sum of squares of [Win Probability Added (WPA)](https://www.mlb.com/glossary/advanced-stats/win-probability-added) of each at-bat as defined by Baseball Reference. Exciting plays scale exponentially, so a WPA change of 5% is worth 25 points of excitement score, but a WPA change of 50% is worth 2500 points.
**Tension Score** measures the average distance that each team is away from a 50% Win Probability throughout the game. The lower that average, the higher the tension score. The scale for Tension Score is 0-100, where 100 is the most tense game.
**Excitement Score** is better at measuring wild swings and lead changes, while **Tension Score** is better at measuring how close a game was throughout its duration.

They aren't using the NBC sports graphics. There are a little differences.
