Launch day tomorrow!

I know Jays suck right now, but I built this anyway: jays.baby It's a daily stats panel that uses Fangraphs, MLB Stats and Savant data to show a ton of interesting information. I'm constantly adding new things too. I made this for the people, so RTs appreciated.

New update released today! Just close and open the app again and you should have it. Lot's of bug fixes, and you can now add comments to trade offers.

If this tweet has exactly 1 like in 24 hours we will give that person’s team 1,000,000 team cash in Meta Baseball League.

GEORGE SPRINGER IS BACK!

Sorry Bo. @Mets

Season 1 playoffs are underway now! Good luck to all the teams who made it to the postseason.

Road to 10,000 - 250 active players. First card show in the books. Stouffville, 5 hours at a table trying to get baseball fans to download a mobile game. 34 downloads. I was hoping for 50. Here's the thing I didn't anticipate: this show was probably 80% Pokemon, 20% sports cards. The crowd skewed young- lots of kids with their parents. Our game is built for adults. Most of the people who downloaded did it for a chance to spin the prize wheel and win free cards, not because they were genuinely interested in a baseball management game. A few people really got it though. You can tell the difference- they ask questions, they're curious, they linger. Those conversations made the day worth it even if the number is underwhelming. Was it worth it? Honestly, I don't know yet. The real test is next week in St. Thomas at a show that's 100% sports cards. Should be a much better audience. If that one doesn't move the needle, we'll have our answer about card shows.

Last night I tried an experiment. WhatNot is a live streaming platform where people buy and sell sports cards. I wanted to see if I could flip that on its head- instead of selling, just give cards away for free. The only catch: download Meta Baseball League. 30 minutes and about $50 in shipping later, we got 10 downloads. $5 a player. For an indie game with no real ad budget, that's tough to scale. But something unexpected happened- another game developer was watching, and we ended up having a great conversation. He downloaded it, said he'd share it with friends. One real connection might end up being worth more than the other nine downloads combined. I'm not writing the idea off completely. There might be a better version of it. But right now the math doesn't work well enough to do it again as-is. This weekend: the card show in Stouffville. Different approach, same goal.

Really not the @BlueJays content we were hoping would blow up 😭. Turn around starts tonight. Let's go Gausman! Need to get the bats going.

Building games is scary. We built the best game we've ever made. Only 214 people are playing it. I'm going to get to 10,000 and share the whole journey- every win, every failure. First move: setting up a table at a baseball card show this weekend to convince collectors to try a mobile game. No idea if it'll work.

What it feels like watching the Blue Jays right now…

We can forget about everything else - if you can't score runs you can't win games. Need to get the bats going. #BlueJays.

Only 8 days until season 1 playoffs!

Welcome back!
