I wanted a simple and to the point TUI app for MLB. Since I was unable to find what I wanted, I created it.
bsbl is a newspaper-styled terminal app for following MLB games and players, built in the spirit of tools like Newsboat. Launch it and you get live scores, an inning-by-inning box score, batting order, and season player stats for whichever teams you follow, plus a live at-bat view during games showing the current batter and pitcher, ball-strike count, outs, who’s on base, and the last pitch thrown, along with a scoring-plays recap screen that lists every play that put a run on the board, grouped by inning. You can also follow individual players outside your main teams and see their stats and headlines on one aggregate page. All navigation is arrow keys and single-letter hotkeys, headlines come from Google News and Bing News, and all the baseball data comes from MLB’s free, keyless Stats API, so there’s no account, no API key, and nothing to sign up for. It’s free to install via Homebrew and open source on GitHub.
