Balls, Strikes, and Outs

[panzarino]

@ajbowler The existing events module contains information about the balls strikes and outs for each at bat, and I am fairly sure that just getting the last at bat will provide you with the current (live) ball, strikes, and outs.

@panzarino yes, it does look like the existing events module will work fine for this. Thanks!

mlbgame.game_events("2017_11_01_houmlb_lanmlb_1")[0].top[1] would correspond to this event:

<atbat num="2" b="0" s="0" o="0" start_tfs="002311" start_tfs_zulu="2017-11-02T00:23:11Z" end_tfs_zulu="2017-11-02T00:24:18Z" batter="608324" pitcher="506433" des="Alex Bregman reaches on a throwing error by first baseman Cody Bellinger.   George Springer scores.    Alex Bregman to 2nd.  " des_es="Alex Bregman se embasa por error en tiro de primera base Cody Bellinger.   George Springer anota  Alex Bregman a 2da.  " event_num="14" event="Field Error" event_es="Error de Fildeo" play_guid="05156dff-7cbc-456e-a480-9e64b00e89c2" score="T" home_team_runs="0" away_team_runs="1" b1="" b2="608324" b3="">

b1, b2, b3 are the bases. The number should be a player_id if you need that information. You can get it from mlbgame.players(game_id).home_players or mlbgame.players(game_id).away_players.

Something like this should work:

game_id = "2017_11_01_houmlb_lanmlb_1"

def runner(player_id, players):
    player = filter(lambda p: p.id == player_id, players)
    return player if player else None # or "", depending on how you want to implement it

away_players = mlbgame.players(game_id).away_players
home_players = mlbgame.players(game_id).home_players
events = mlbgame.game_events(game_id)[0].top
curr_ab = events[len(events)-1]
on_base = dict(b1=runner(curr_ab.b1, players), b2=runner(curr_ab.b2, players), b3=runner(curr_ab.b3, players))
count = dict(b=curr_ab.b, s=curr_ab.s, o=curr_ab.o)
