Spring Training Pitch FX Data
This spring the games at Surprise (home for Royals and Rangers) and Peoria (Mariners and Padres) will be collecting Pitch FX data. The attached link is the only site I could currently find that has the data available. I have looked at a few pitchers and the cameras seem to be calibrated correctly at each location

The link is broken.
All ‘pbp’ folders appear to be missing from the MLB Gameday data folders, too. I really hope this is just a temporary problem.
Anyone know what’s going on? Someone also reported trouble with archived MLB.tv games.
Cory Schwartz said that MLB was removing those pbp folders going forward
They were duplicate info of what is in the innings/inning_X.xml files, and Gameday was not making use of them, so they removed them to free up disk space on the server.

I am similarly curious about this
Boxscore-Junkie is down as well.

Looks like MLB shut them down.

How was the data presented on his site?
I’m obviously slightly worried, but I have no basis for which to compare Boxscore-Junkie to my own. Any help?

It was just the boxscore and then the individual pitches if Pitch FX was around.
I would love to know what part they are being sued over.

Was he doing it in real-time?
If so, he was using their info to directly compete with them.

Google "boxscore junkie" and look at a cached version of his site
http://74.125.155.132/search?q=cache:bwZgmZnpOQwJ:boxscore-junkie.appspot.com/
They were asking for trouble with that. That’s taking info that MLB serves on their own site and resells to partners and simply putting it up on his site to take hits away from MLB.com and the partner sites like ESPN and Yahoo.
I don’t think you have an issue, Trip, unless you were to try to start selling your information. I don’t think you breach the terms of service, and I’m sure that MLBAM is well aware of your site for a while now. They don’t have an issue with BrooksBaseball.Net, and your site is in a similar vein, presenting information as a research service in a format that can’t be found on MLB.com or any of its partners. You’re not eating into their revenue stream in any way, as far as I can tell.

Thanks for clearing it up.
I completely missed the boat on Boxscore-Junkie, so I was pretty clueless.
