@Oldmanastro, hornsports staff, and several others. Thanks for wanting the baseball game updates. I don't try to do as much details as Joey did.

I do believe that you can watch some, mostly the weekend games via YouTube. You still have to put up with the ESPN+ / SEC+ announcers. I usually listen to the radio with the game on YouTube no audio.
