Right now, it is impossible for us to edit the post and/or edit the content of the post after it is up, so we can't update the game threads with stats and scores currently, but that feature should be available to us before the season begins.
If you have access to the one that does c/phillies posts we could use that though
Edit - I tried to message you about this like a week ago but my dumbass must have messaged the bot directly lol
I ask because we've pretty much finished the Redball bot which does the Baseball threads, and expect the port of the existing NFL bot to go pretty smoothly. Let me know if you want to leverage that instead.
Let me see how fast I can bang it out - I don't see anything that needs to change except swapping API calls. The MLB bot is much more complex than the NFL one, so it should go smoothly.
Not OP but a mod at KC Chiefs. If you do get the bot running and are wanting to share I would be very grateful for not access. Totally understand if that’s not something you are wanting to do tho.
The code will be up on GitHub as soon as it is working. You can check in on [email protected] or [email protected] if you want to see what progress I'm making. I'm planning to get it working, then run it for the first preseason game. If it doesn't blow up, I'll point you to the code. I can also run the bot for your team (the code supports configuring multiple teams) if you want.
Grr, federation is broken. I'm going to be testing on that site, so you'll want to sign up over there, or on another instance. Lemmy.world is too unstable (and Cloudflare is doing weird things to some bots) to test here.

On your edit, I was using old.lemmy.world which has a very broken inbox - I found your message about the baseball bot, but not NFL. Not sure why it didn't pop up in Memmy...we'll need to find something more reliable.
