Exploring a new feature - daily topic summaries

[Brock Beauchamp]

I've been automating a ton of stuff recently, and now that I've really dived into the site's API features, I can automate posting directly from a script on my home server to the site. Something I'm toying with is scraping the internet for Twins news, and then posting it here. This is literally a first pass with almost no refinement. Is something like this of interest to the forum? I think it's kinda cool, and can provide talking points and show you content you may have missed.

Let me know what you think of this idea:

Minnesota Twins: Top Analysis, Past 48 Hours

1. Why didn't the Twins win this season? Five big reasons (Aaron Gleeman, The Athletic). Gleeman argues that cutting payroll and ignoring roster holes backfired, noting that playoff odds that rose to nearly 40 percent after buying at the trade deadline have sunk to 2 percent with 16 games left. This was the most widely discussed Twins piece of the week.

2. Twins vs Tigers Pick Prediction (Tony's Picks). A breakdown of Zebby Matthews' road problems, citing a 6.45 road ERA and a .531 slugging mark allowed away from home.

3. 2027 is starting to look interesting (Tim Meyer). Meyer sees a young core forming, pointing out that Luke Keaschall is batting .276 with a .369 on-base percentage.

4. Twins Road Struggles Reveal Major Problem (SI). Per FanGraphs, the Twins have the worst road pitching staff in the league, with a combined 5.19 ERA.

5. Twins vs Tigers Prediction (TheSpread). Contrasts Detroit's run prevention with Minnesota's 4.66 staff ERA.

6. The Twins have no choice but to overhaul their roster (Puckett's Pond). Notes that after entering August at 56-56, the Twins have gone 12-21 since, and suggests trading Joe Ryan.

Is that the same Aaron Gleeman from AaronGleeman.com?  I'm not familiar with anyone by that name at The Athletic 😜

Hah, I didn't even notice it had Gleeman at The Athletic in the post. I also see it sourced SI regarding a FanGraphs article. I have some tuning to do on this.

I believe it will generate a ton of activity.

Nothing wrong about having more to converse about! Isn't that what most of us are here for anyways? what drew me here was how active the community is.
