I have looked over the statsapi python package, which is supposed to pull data from the new MLB API. However, it doesn't pull game data, only things like leaderboards and box scores. I would really like to have something like BBOS, to simply translate that API into MySQL. I asked around and searched everywhere, and it doesn't seem to exist. And I actually tried to build something myself. I got as far as getting the JSON text into a program but I just don't have coding skills to parse it. There were...
