Since I’m already in a grumpy mood today I’ll continue into the baseball thread. Where are the media relations and social media departments when it comes to baseball? We get a ‘practice is at X’ post once a day on the Twitter page if we’re lucky and a ‘please buy season tickets’ promo at the basketball game and little else during spring practice. The team is scrimmaging several times a week and nothing is reported to generate interest and excitement in the program. Who pitched and how did they do? Who got hits? Who made great plays? Who scored? What was the score? A work-study student (with some boundaries) could generate more activity, publicity and interest than what we’re getting today. Even the booster club seems to be floundering with no membership info nor recruitment less than two weeks from first pitch. And no night games until March 11? (and 3 pm weekday starts until then) What are we trying to do to a program that needs all the help it can get? Does this media silence somehow give us an advantage in players getting NIL deals? Are we just giving up? #primalscream Now all you kids get off of my lawn. But before you go tell me how much I have to pay to get my seats in the new arena.
Your rant is warranted and you're not wrong. You couldn't be more right on the booster club membership information, or lack thereof. I tried to donate to the club but the site was severely lacking and not a lot of information. I almost feel like our fans have just given up at this point. It seems like no matter how well we recruit it's always going to be worse than at least 5 of the SEC West programs. Maybe that apathy is leaking to the membership.

There are a couple of guys on Twitter that routinely post updates from the baseball scrimmages - Roger Patrick Meyers and Rick Pendley.
But I agree that our athletic department sucks when it comes to putting baseball information out there. Ole Miss has a "Ole Miss Baseball Analytics" twitter page that puts out great stuff from their scrimmages. I'm sure there other others doing great work too.
It's very similar to the effort put into the broadcasts that go onto the ESPN app early in the season. Other schools will have multiple cameras, graphics, stats. We will have one camera in the pressbox and the radio feed over the top of it.
