[General Discussion] Around the Horn - 12/11/23
A basic understanding of R should be enough if you install the baseball r package. From there you can scrape off of Baseball Reference or Fangraphs for custom date ranges to get stats on whatever time frame basis you would like. Then you can export/copy/whatever to excel if you want, or do the analysis right in R.

Are the 2023 Yankees too dependent on Judge (and maybe Stanton)? (a) Judge/Stanton Active: .562 W-L% in 16G, 4.8 R/G (b) Judge Active, Stanton IL: .636 W-L% in 33G, 5.0 R/G (c) Judge IL, Stanton Active: .438 W-L% in 16G, 3.4 R/G (d) Judge/Stanton IL: .400 W-L% in 10G, 3.5 R/G (Source: MLB Stats API)

Question on data scraping
In order to make it, I need to get every lineup from every game in the season. I am using the baseballr package to get the game_pk number. Each game has a game_pk number, and each lineup is tied to that game_pk. So I need to create a dataframe (all_games_list) for each game with its game_pk number in it, and then use the game_pk numbers to create a new dataframe (lineup_all) that contains the lineup for said game_pk.

Is their a stat or a program where I can see which pitchers during game deficits or leads, giving up a few runs due to walk walks, played hits, rbis? How would I go about filtering it out? I don’t mean starting pitchers or anything like that, I mean pitchers that came in one inning gave up 4 runs.
I just remembered there is also this R package: Acquiring and Analyzing Baseball Data • baseballr.

MLB Stats API Application time?
most folks without direct access to mlb's api scrape baseball savant's data api. packages like baseballr or pybaseball can help with this. remember, this is in the open on a trust model: no commercial use, and don't hammer the api.

Adding MLB Team Logos to a Graph in R
If people are looking to do this, what I did was to copy the csv used to map team logos to assets from mlbplotR, make a function to grab each image from whichever spot, and use AnnotationBbox to actually plot the logo.
