Anybody know why the Advocate no longer reports how players with LA connections are doing in the minor leagues? Is it covid related?

probably because they cant afford to hire "journalists"

besides, why report on it when espn.com and other publications do it?

Because nobody reads the Advocate anymore. Things are apparently pretty bad. I heard they were begging strangers for money last year.

They don’t start until may
Most papers aren’t running stats anymore
You can find that online
Your lucky to get box scores
You might get some stats from those with la connections once summer gets here and LSU sports dies down

Advocate only prints the important stuff like how Saint George Floyd had an impact on pro sports.

Disagree.

The Sadvocate rocks.
The Advocate is bird cage liner.

The Baton Rouge rougarou are about to play in the Texas collegiate league in a couple months so give it a bit?

I didn’t even know the advocate reported on the minors.

If it’s not already something neatly packaged by the AP, the Advocate “writers” don’t know what to do. You can probably gather it all from the More Sports page here on TD and you’d already be ahead of the curve of what that trash rag gives you.

Used to love reading that page in the sports section every week. It was LSU players and local players.
