Playoff schedules in team schedule pages for Baseball Reference?
In Baseball Reference, is there plans to put in playoff schedules underneath the regular season schedules in the team schedule and results pages like in the other sports reference pages? Thought that would be a good idea.

Daily College Basketball Box Scores
Does anyone know if they plan on updating the boxscores page before games start today for CBB or is that only for boxscore data after game completion? I know other sports there are boxscores available for preview such as MLB, NFL, etc. I'm asking mostly because I would like to get the game ids for every game played daily.

Split seasons not in chronologicalorder on hockey page?
Not sure if this is temporary or an error, but the order of the teams a player's split season is no longer chronological and it's driving me nuts. The best example is Dave McLlwain, who played for 4 teams in 1991-92. Why is Winnipeg listed third? It's been chronological for many years, did something happen?

Player Relations
When will the Sports Reference pages show relationships between players of different leagues like say Bubba Paris (NFL) and his twin daughters Ashley and Courtney Paris (WNBA). Also, on the Basketball Reference pages, will it show relationships between WNBA and NBA players like Anthony and Candace Parker or Paolo Banchero and his mom Rhonda Banchero?

MLB Games Played with Plate Appearances only
I'm looking to pull stats on how many games a player plated while also making a plate appearance.
ex.) 1997 Greg McMichael appeared in 73 games as a pitcher and recorded a plate appearance in 3 games. Can I mass pull this data for certain seasons? If so how?

Will Stathead ever add an AI search feature?
So I have had the free trial for stat head for just over a week, and it has had its positives and negatives. The positives is that it gives a lot of stats, and it is a very useful tool for looking through large sets of game data. This can be really fun to use, looking through games and box scores. However, there are some negatives. One is that some of the pages take forever to load, and some really don't load at all. Another is that the searching interface seems very outdated. I would hope that they are able to add some sort of AI search feature that takes written requests, and presents data in a very user friendly way. StatMuse provides this search feature, but it isn't very refined, and it can get confused very easily. I don't know all the background of how this would be put in place, but with the advancement of AI, I'm sure a great system could be made.

consecutive RP appearances?
Is it possible in stathead to show all the consecutive relief outings for a pitcher? I can get their totals per season but I'm trying to get it to show each pitching appearance. Or maybe it's easier to just download all the pitching appearances and do that streak work in excel or something.
