Anyone know if there's a US Time Zones by Zip Code DB out there
If you happen to use R the tidycensus package is absolutely fantastic.

Finding Usable US Census Data
R has a few packages for this and the first that comes to mind is tidycensus (https://walker-data.com/tidycensus/).

NJ Population mapping by block group
If you have some facility with R, then the 'tidycensus' package is your answer here. You can get the latest ACS (2019) data at the block group level with that. Alternatively, NHGIS from the IPUMS folks offers access to census tabular and spatial data in a straightforward format.

SF object pivot/spread results in improperly pivoted object (NA values)
This indicates the polygons are different - I would ASSUME that the shape for a US county does not change too much (or ever) so I feel like its an issue with the package [tidycensus](https://walker-data.com/tidycensus/).

[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.

[Doyle] Multiple sources: The Seattle Mariners are calling up right-handed pitcher Bryce Miller. He will start Tuesday against Oakland.
To get all the data, I would suggest checking out baseballr if you are familiar with R. https://billpetti.github.io/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.
