Wow! Almost 2 months since the last blurb. Actually, that’s not entirely accurate, since I’ve been posting some updates on DailyBaseballData.com, where most of my attention is during baseball season. But I figured I should probably provide some updates here as well, for those who don’t typically venture to that domain.- If you go to the front page at DBD, you’ll see a panel in the upper right that lists the day’s starting lineups as I get them from my stats provider. Often, lineups are provided 3-4 hours in advance of game time.
- The RotoGuru daily fantasy point report is now picking up live stats, including starting lineups. This page also provides an opportunity to download data in SCSV (semi-colon separated values), for this who want to import data into a spreadsheet.
- The DBD live stats report has also been enhanced, with more sorting options (by team, or by lineup order). You may find that report format more suitable for smartphone display, as the width is narrower and there are fewer advertising graphics.
All of these reports are feeding off of the same underlying stats feed, which is generally updated at 10 minute intervals once game action starts. If you are looking for sources of info on starting lineups or live stats, you may want to check out these three links to see whether any of the formats work well for you.Meanwhile, RotoGuru and DBD have been getting some recent notoriety as well. I recently had a lengthy interview which was published at oligolf.com. And the Daily Baseball Data site has been highlighted as as a useful resource in two recent books written by Jonathan Bales, including Fantasy Baseball for Smart People. Always nice to get free, favorable recognition! |
