Additional recommendation for MLB Live Data XML feed handling

With the tri-feed integration, there has been a change in behavior of our feeds in pursuit of the lowest latency data possible. The change is two-fold and does have implications on our recommended handling of messages.

First, we providing data as the play unfolds on the field rather than waiting until the play and base positions are finalized to send data. As outs are recorded or runs are scored during a play, this information will come through immediately when entered. For examples as a fly-ball is caught, a “player out” message will be sent even if there are still runners trying to tag up and advance on the base paths. Similarly, on a straightforward ground into double play, a “player out” message will be sent when the first runner is out while the fielding team is still trying to complete the double-play.

Second, as runner positions on the bases are finalized, we are now sending a “player on base X” message before we receive information on who the runner is or where he advanced from. Before a “play over” message is sent, we will have provided a “player on base X” event for every base that is occupied by a batter or runner upon the conclusion of the play.

Due to this change, we have added full game state information (balls, strikes, outs, pcount, errors, hitshome, hitsaway, errorshome, errorsaway, firstbaseloaded, secondbaseloaded and thirdbaseloaded attributes) to the play over event ID 1716 to eliminate or minimize any need to track intermediate states as a play unfolds.
