A few notes:

* Thanks to David Peng (LA Podcasting Hombre of Anaheim) for feedback as I built the site.
* There's no real reason I used a .GQ domain, other than it being free.
* If the .GQ domain goes down, which it did for a while yesterday, you can reach the site at bit.ly/bbscores.
* Thanks to the fine people of Equatorial Guinea for the use of their TLD.
* I'm a hobbyist with no real training in code beyond some basic HTML. I'm teaching myself as I go along.
* On a related note, currently the scoreboards update every 180 seconds with a full page refresh. I'm struggling mightily to figure out how to fetch updates via AJAX, and would welcome assistance if any of you know how to get that done and want to help.
* I'm not running any ads or anything, and have no current plans to do so. Maybe, possibly, I'll put up a Paypal link for anyone who wants to donate to cover my costs, but the costs are minimal at this point.

Thanks, Dan! This is neat - I like to do a very quick check on how minor league starters did every night.

Dan - this looks to be great. Thank you!

Thank you Dan. I'll bookmark this one.

Thank you very much, Dan.

Thanks for the kind words. Much appreciated.

That many games makes finding the games of interest a bit of a visual challenge, but trade-offs are a fact of life. Would it be worth it to include some links allowing you to filter the results by the minor league affiliation? One click brings up the games of a MLB team and all its farm teams?

And to drive enough traffic to bring in the advertising to support a future life of leisure, perhaps a large banner for the TIM TEBOW BOX SCORE?

I might be able to help with your AJAX issue. It looks like it's mostly an angular app, so I can look at helping out after work. Feel free to primermail me.

Damn that's fantastic.

Vis-a-vis 7's comment, if you could just put the standard org three initials (PIT, CHC, STL) next to the city names, I found that it was awesomely easy to Cmd (Ctrl)-F to find teams without scrolling through the panels (if they are not showing, it scrolls in the panel right to the team). If I could search by org, then 6 fast Ctrl-F "PIT" would show me how shittily the Pirates organization is doing on any particular day.

But really, in it's current form, it's amazing so don't do what I said if it makes it worse in any way.

#7: Filters are a longer-term goal of mine, but simple organizational filters are something I could probably implement pretty easily. As for advertising, the MLB.com API's terms of service talk about the data being published and available for non-commercial use, so I don't want to anger the MLBAM gods. I can't imagine they'd have a problem with me breaking even financially, but I wouldn't want to start raking in TIM TEBOW BOX SCORE!!! money.

At this point, "breaking even financially" would equal seven or eight bucks a month, so it's not threatening to put me out on the street or anything.

#8: Fantastic, thank you. AJAX just makes my head spin - I can handle basic Javascript and some JQuery and Angular, but AJAX has been blowin' my mind up.

Love this Dan!! You da man!!

Perhaps a voluntary funding link for operational costs would fly under MLBAM radar? I would certainly kick in. I already sponsor a few pages on BB-REF.

Maybe you could donate the excess to one of MLB's favorite programs (like Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities, not the Rays).

Very cool website, Dan! Thanks for putting this together and sharing it here.

#10: I think I can probably do that, at least for MLB teams. I'd just make the text tiny and the same color as the background, so it's available for CTRL-F searches but not intrusive. Thanks for the idea.

I'd prefer if the MLB board took up the majority of the page, making scrolling unnecessary. But it looks really great.

I think I'll eventually make the iframes taller so there's little-to-no scrolling once you get to the level you want to see. Also, implementing AJAX updates would allow me to stop the autorefresh, which would cut down on the scrolling.

I first saw this at the top of the Omnichatter thread, and I'll repeat my appreciation for a terrific website. It's great to be young and be a Giant Yankee baseball bug.

Am I seeing Mexican teams in the AAA box?

This is awesome.

This is an awesome effort.

My 2 cents worth: keeping the page elements simple reduces your bandwidth usage (and costs) and makes it quicker to load for us, so I vote for that approach just as I did for B-Ref.

That AJAX stuff sounds close to voodoo so proceed with care, it might be a much bigger project than you thought.

I'm not sure how popular it would be, but I'd vote for whatever the buzzword for "fluid design" is this week. Rather than fixed frames with internal scroll bars, allow the page to resize naturally whether it's my big desktop screen or a tiny phone viewport or a tablet. Just kicking out some ideas to consider, but good work already!

You are. MiLB treats the Mexican League as a third AAA league, so those games appear too.

Thanks. Yeah, it's important to me that this be simple. I'm not trying to be slick, I just want a useful tool. Particularly as someone with no actual coding training, there's no way I could make something cooler-looking than billion dollar organizations like ESPN, Fox, or Yahoo. The only way this is worth doing is if it provides functionailty that they don't.

Thanks! That's a longer-term goal, something that I'd like to implement as my skill level increases. The frames aren't necessarily intended as a permanent format, but are a workable system for now.

Adding to the chorus: this is very cool, thanks Dan.

Humorous note: I run the excellent NoScript script blocker in Firefox and until I allowed thejamootz.com to run it's stuff, the page looked decidedly different :-)

Great site. Looks awesome within chrome. One ask... It looks like you are going to have all Rookie League games in one square. That could be as many as 30 games a day to scroll through. Any chance you could split out the lower and higher Rookie Leagues?

Just went to MLB.com, was disappointed, came back here, bookmarked the new page.

Duly bookmarked as well, and greatly appreciated, Dan.

I rarely know what's going on with the Rangers affiliates even at the AAA level, but now I know that Jurickson Profar is leading off for Round Rock and somehow they've reacquired Drew Stubbs to bat #2. I feel like an insider now :)

Wow. That's all. Great work.

Thanks, everybody. And a huge thanks to PS for helping me with a more seamless and efficient way to update games.

#25:

Good question. I'll look into it - I pull my data directly from MLB.com's public Gameday API, so I'd need to see if there's an easy way to separate them. If I can, I will.

Fantastic! Bookmarking and sharing. Thank you.

Great site, and I've bookmarked it and mentioned it to friends.

One note, the dates seem to be a bit goofy, unless today really is 12/16/2022.

#31: Are you using MS Edge? I've seen that bug on Edge, but not on Chrome, Firefox, or Opera.

Edge does goofy stuff with Javascript Date() calls, and I confess I haven't spent a ton of time looking into it.

FWIW, Paypal button has been added. Please don't, in any way, feel obligated to give me money. I say this only because someone mentioned it earlier in the thread.

Don't bother, it's not you, it's MicroSoft. More's the pity.

#31: Are you using MS Edge? I've seen that bug on Edge, but not on Chrome, Firefox, or Opera.

I am. I've been using Edge because it doesn't crash every 5 minutes while using Flash, which has been a huge problem for me with Firefox.
