Off to Surprise Stadium for a weekend of warm baseball! In sunny Arizona.
Two games vs Oregon State (#5) will tell us a bunch.

Good Knight;
Enjoy the sun and games. "Spring Training". Many memories.

Headed up to Arlington myself to catch opening three games for my son's school, plus more than likely we will watch the other four games on Saturday and Sunday.
youngest is playing in Mississippi, and oldest son's team is playing in Florida (though he's coming back from UCL surgery so isn't traveling). Not going down to MS but following games on ESPN+ or website. Good luck to all!
Heading to Millington, TN for 4 games this weekend. When not at the ballpark it will be fun to watch his buddies from last years team and next years team playing their games on ESPN+.
Following son's team on Twitter/X most of the time. Iowa is about two hours away from us, but I'm very excited they're going to have a weekend series at our AAA park in Des Moines. Will be fun and easy to go see them. I am NOT, however, going to their game in Iowa City today. Feb. 20 seems too early for outdoor baseball in Iowa!!!
if anyone out there is tech-savvy I have a question/thought. I spent the weekend watching my son's games, and toggling back between ESPN + and multiple open tabs running live stats. I was trying to keep tabs on whether or not my son's friends were playing or coming in to pitch.
Does anyone know if there is a way to set google alerts or generative AI to get notified when players I care about are coming in to games?

The only site that I know of which has a scoreboard with all games is D1baseball, but that is a bit delayed and just direct's to the school's own website. If you have a list of players/schools, you could write something that queries those sites. Most colleges seem to use one of about 3 different platforms. You'd have to tailor it for each.
So, no, not really unless you're technical. Better off with an AppleTV where you can have 4 games going at once.

Good news, there is a chrome extension named Batter Up. You can get it a Git Hub.
Bad news is it is Batter Up is for MLB only, today. If you don't mind creating some code, you can follow @nycdad's suggestion. I'd start by looking at the Batter Up code and see if you can gut the code for the D1baseball website.
Good luck!
