How to get info on the players I follow via MLB.com...

MLB is inept...

Sorry, this is question wrapped in a complaint. Seems every time I turn around the MLB is making it harder to be a fan.

I really dislike the new team website design- it looks like they're all the same, so I don't think the Twins are really running their own, probly just plugging in content...?

For instance, I like to see the preview for upcoming games- previously it was right there on the landing page, but now I'm doing all kinds of random clicking trying to find anything, usually I end up on a page trying to sell me tickets that I already own (for now, but I'm reconsidering).

I've pretty much stopped reading their stories because of all the auto-play videos and other content that sometimes you can't even stop!

So to the actual question- the MLB website says you can follow individual players, so I figured out how to do that, and selected everybody we traded a week ago, and a few others. Great. So now what? I can't figure how to actually find any sort of feed regarding the players I've chosen to follow.

Don't get me wrong, I love the notifications about the Yankees Dominican League prospects, but...

If anyone can enlighten me on this feature, I would certainly appreciated it.

 

Thanks in advance for any replies :-)

My landing page is http://mlb.com.

From there, players I follow are featured right below the lead 2-3 stories. I click on their image and it takes me to their stats. I admit that most of my research is on http://baseball-reference.com.

Upcoming games are listed at the top on the same page. I can go right to "preview" or "story." I chose the game/s I am going to listen to that eve based on starting pitchers, announcers (I only do radio via MLB), and competitiveness of game.

Hope that is responsive to questions posed. db

Hey Dave! Thanks very much for the reply!

I found my players. They didn't really distinguish it much form all the 'noise' on the site.

And it looks like 'games' ribbon on top is kind of the only direct way to get to games. The Twins site also has a ribbon- of upcoming games- on top, but they just bring you to ticket sales.

I just get sick of constant website changes- it's ubiquitous across the internet- it's like disposable fashion- change for the sake of change. So the loyal fans have to learn to find everything again when it worked just fine before.

Thanks again!

They are after eyeballs. Eyeballs drive revenue.

Quite frankly, I find MLB.com good at keeping me abreast of the width of the teams/games/league as my interest is baseball first and twins 2nd. I enjoy it. I come to TD for Twins depth.
