@BrentButler Crap, I just remembered that’s no longer available on Twitter. What’s your BlueSky handle?

The 𝕏 API has moved to pay-per-use, so each automated post costs money. Any support is appreciated. venmo.com/BrentMButler ko-fi.com/brentbutler paypal.me/BrentButler Because these costs are specific to 𝕏, so too will be these requests.  > 𝕏

@swampsteve Between hosting costs, my domain name registration, and estimates for X API, I'm looking at a total of about $170 per year. This excludes any time I put into maintenance / updates myself, but I consider it a hobby, so I'm not looking for any reimbursement for my time.

@CubsNHS_Bot I’m happy to kick in. What are the approximate costs for a year?

@Royals This was lovely! Why does his MLB player page still not show the date of his death? Also, it only shows the 2021 title with Atlanta; why? mlb.com/player/terranc…

We were honored to have Terrance Gore's family in attendance today to throw our first pitch. 💙

@Royals Who’s responsible for updating his MLB page, both with the date of his passing and the correction that he was on three World Series winning rosters, not just one? @MLB @MLBPA

We are heartbroken from the loss of Terrance Gore, and send our love to his family and loved ones.

@XDevelopers @grok I run a Chicago Cubs fan bot that posts about 4 times per game. It doesn’t ask anything else of the API. What would that look like pricing-wise? What’s a “for-good Public Utility app”?

Officially launching X API Pay-Per-Use The core of X developers are indie builders, early stage products, startups, and hobbyists It’s time to open up our X API ecosystem and instill a new wave of next generation X apps We’re so back. developer.x.com

@baseballhall @SFGiants Anyone feel like correcting this? Kent is HOF Class of '26 instead of '25, right?

@MLB Please fix. mlb.com/player/jeff-ke…

Welcome Jeff Kent to the Hall of Fame Class of 2026! He has been elected by the Contemporary Baseball Era Committee.

@WatchMarquee Why is the stream a choppy 30fps on Apple TV from St. Louis? Do they only have AOL there or something?

@WatchMarquee fix the audio, please

@WatchMarquee The building beyond straight center at Comerica is the Detroit Athletic Club.

@WatchMarquee @EliseMenaker It was a ball.

I love running The Bot™ (now in its 8th season) and will keep it going as long as I’m able. That said, it is a time commitment and has some costs. If you’d like to support it, you can at ko-fi.com/brentbutler No obligation, just appreciated! 🫡 Go Cubs. ⚾️💙 —Brent

@PrazMaster Pretty sure I know what you're referring to. 😉 That doesn't happen until No. 1,649. #spoilers

Clearly his greatest accomplishment as a Cub…

@Cubs @MotorolaUS Isn’t this exclusive to ESPN tonight? And why are the Cubs the only MLB team not officially on Bluesky yet?

@PrazMaster @CubsNHS_Bot @Cubs

@CubsNHS_Bot @Cubs

No. 1,435: Kyle Tucker singles with no outs in the first for the @Cubs. Only 6,485 to go!

@PrazMaster For the record, Blauser extended The Streak™ 14 times, including during his last game in the majors. In fact, his last MLB hit was a Streak Extender.

One of the few good things he did as a Cub.

@PrazMaster Well... I was fixing a bug with this new #TBT thing and was going to delete this latest test. Now I guess I won't! Potentially interesting for it to pick one "on this date" at random, right?

@bears_fan25 @Cubs_Highlights The joy of automation.

@Cubs_Highlights loved the part where he hit it

Cubs @ Diamondbacks Chase Field 03/29/2025
