player_stats & team_stats don't always return obp, ops and slg about mlbgame HOT 6 CLOSED

I can calculate obp from other stats, but not slg or ops (unless there is data for singles, doubles and triples which I haven't been able to find).

Is it possible to get single, double, triple data per game?

That's odd, ops and slg do not appear to show up on spring training games. That's on MLB, there's nothing I can really do if they do not provide the data. As far as I know, data for individual types of hits is not provided but there is a list of all the events that occurred in the game, and you could go through and see who was batting for each event and what the outcome was. Here is the list of events for the game that you gave an example of: http://gd2.mlb.com/components/game/mlb/year_2015/month_04/day_01/gid_2015_04_01_bosmlb_minmlb_1/game_events.xml. I'll continue to look into the issue with slg and ops.

Got it. Thanks for the game events link; I can scrape through that to find 1b, 2b and 3b data.

Will there be support in the future for getting play-by-play events through mlbgame? Wasn't sure if it was already in the works.

I'm thinking about it, not exactly sure how I'm going to add it to the project but it will probably be coming soon along with other feature additions.

Double and triple data are there. The stats are labeled 'd' and 't'. You can get slg via (h + d + 2 * t + 3 * hr)/ab.

Thanks @rationalpastime. Updated statmap with commit f76408e, new release coming sometime soon.
