I don't spend all day or get really in depth on sports news, but I do like to browse the articles, especially when they are pro-MSU. During baseball season In the past I have read through articles on D1 baseball concerning the top teams (not just MSU) and this keeps me fairly informed on what's happening, but over the past few years they have started putting more and more of their content behind a pay-wall. I am not saying that their content is not worth it, but I am not going to pay $119 a year to read it. So, what website(s) do you guys frequent to keep up to date on the college baseball world?

Not sure why ESPN doesn't realize there's a legit audience for college baseball news/scores.

I think ESPN knows what the audience for college baseball is. The ratings don't lie.

For paid content that’s cheaper the baseball digital subscription is like 6.99 a month. I just follow all the writers on Twitter and it works pretty well. Follow guys like Mike Rooney, Carlos Callazo, Ben Balder, Kendall Rogers, Aaron Fitt, JJ Cooper and you’ll have a lot to read.

Only some of the SEC really cares, not worth the money for ESPN.

I'm sure you're correct, but is the audience for baseball really smaller than people that want to watch bowling, women's basketball, a re-run of Marty and McGee (or Finebaum), or any of the other terrible ESPN shows that no one watches? I guess they know what they are doing, but I find it hard to believe last weekend's top ten matchups wouldn't outdraw half of whatever ESPN showed on some of their stations.

Kyle Peterson interviewed this afternoon by Finebum. Talked about SEC stadiums, fanbases, athletic dept. commitment, etc. Not one mention of MSU on any topic. Peterson seems to love Kentucky and UF, and of course Umissy. We get zilch, nada.

The way to voice your complaint is by never watching the atrociously terrible Paul Finedork show again

In the interest of full disclosure, my viewership of Finebum is significantly less than 1% of his air time. As happens, I was channel surfing today and when it landed on Finebum's show, Kyle Peterson was on camera, so I stopped to hear the interview. As soon as that was done, I moved on. Finebum is hot garbage which I quit watching with any regularity years ago. Didn't listen to him on the radio some years ago when I was still working and driving home in the afternoons. Did the same thing with Mad Dog Christopher Russo some years ago when he started spouting off about gun control.

To put into perspective, 3.8 million watched our final vs South Carolina, and 3.5 million watched our final vs Notre Dame. Our finals series vs UCLA drew a total of 2.9 million for the two games combined.
