I guess he got what he came for. He's go no reason to stick around except to get sanctioned.
That sucks. Is your game bot open source? Is there anything I can do to help?
I'll tell you what, I really like the new rules. I did not expect the batter to be at a bigger disadvantage with the pitch clock. Turns out all those glove adjustments really did help
I don't think he'll be traded tbh. The amount of farm talent it would take to wrestle him away has to be enormous.
BTW, do you want to mod !minnesotatwins@fanaticus.social? I've seen you post over there and we don't have a mod yet. Fleshing out that community a bit more might attract more Twins fans to chat with.
You're welcome! The reward is getting enough people over here so we can all talk shit to each other 🤣
Hi, I'm an admin at fanaticus.social. Sorry for the inconvenience! Game bots are an important way for us sports fans to interact with one another during games but I understand how annoying they can be if you don't care about the sport.

If you're comfortable with coding, there's an API endpoint to block a community. I threw together a little python script that would block all the above (I think 🙂).

In the future, we are planning on adding the game bots for the other major sports as well (they're not in season now) but hopefully that will be a nice jumping off point for you.
I'm no college baseball expert but I don't think it's common. I wonder if we're seeing a Shohei Ohtani effect
Join us for all your sports talk over at https://fanaticus.social! We've got communities for all the major sports and their teams.
I also spent the past week forking the popular game day bot, redball, in order to bring game bots to lemmy! There are still a couple of kinks I'm working out but I've begun rolling them out to the teams' communities, starting with the baseball communities.
Check out:
And all the teams-specific communities!
Be the change you want to see in the world! And also share your graphs with the rest of us 😁
This is an issue that the dev team is actively working on and (I believe) it'll be a part of the 0.18.0 release.
There's a hacky workaround some admins in the matrix chat implemented @TheDude@sh.itjust.works -- set a cron job to restart your lemmy back-end every hour or so. Not sure what the impact would be on a bigger instance like this but the restart only take a few seconds on my smaller one and it keeps my feeds fresh.
You got it! What do you think of skipping the Pre-Game and Post-Game threads and just having a single Game thread? Just thinking that three posts a game is a little much. It might be good to consolidate until at least there's more volume.
