Error: 'winning_pitcher': game['decisions'].get('winner',{}).get('fullName',''), KeyError: 'decisions' about mlb-statsapi HOT 4 CLOSED

Fixed in v0.0.9, update with pip install --upgrade mlb-statsapi.

Thank you for the bug report!

Thank you for the report.

This happened because the decisions field is missing in the MLB data for a game. I thought MLB included the decisions field for all completed games, but perhaps there was a suspended game or something else out of the ordinary for which they leave that field out. I’ll take a closer look later today or tomorrow.

The fix is easy regardless of why the data is not included. I just have to change game[‘decisions’] to game.get(‘decisions’,{}) to account for the field missing sometimes.

It's due to gamePk 565060 from 6/13 not having the decisions data included, but I don't see anything special about that game. It completed after 8.5 innings, the status is FInal, and the Red Sox beat the Rangers 7-6. MLB Gameday shows W/L/S in the pitching box score, but it is also missing a couple of names for the Red Sox (no name on the row after Brewer, and no name with the save credited). I'll add protection against missing decision data, but I don't know why it's missing.
