Description

bis_boxscore.xml is not available for games this season. For example, this directory has no bis_boxscore.xml which is a file this library depends on to build out war: http://gd2.mlb.com/components/game/mlb/year_2019/month_03/day_29/gid_2019_03_29_anamlb_oakmlb_1/

I'm looking at working around this, but wondering if anyone has some info on why gameday at mlb.com isn't providing this file anymore?

Research direction

Start by checking the referenced 2019 MLBAM game directory and confirming that bis_boxscore.xml is absent. Then locate where the library reads this file to build WAR and determine whether the upstream format has changed; done means the package can process affected 2019 games despite the missing file.
