Anyone have thoughts here? I'm mostly just excited to see Seth Beer mash for Clemson again.

I have never been one to watch college baseball. What's the best way to get into it? Pick one team and roll with them? Watch games between ranked teams?

[brandonwarne52]

I'm still learning, personally. Baseball America is my ticket right now, I think.

I was thinking the exact same thing: I need a primer on College Baseball since I've never followed it. I'm not paying again for a BA sub, though.

[brandonwarne52]

Bad experience?

[pytleskij]

Nah, I just found I didn't use it enough to make it worth my money. I'll prob go B-ref this season as I like to use that to write.
