It baffles me when looking at the schedule, how little games we have on television.

Nearly every game at Baum is streamed on ESPN+. Just log in with your TV provider if you have SECN+ in your package and you should be able to watch them.

Huh?

Every game is on SEC Network or SEC Network +

Hell I’ve watched our games this weekend, Florida/Winthrop, Clemson/South Carolina, and now LSU/Texas on AppleTv

Television …. Not online, on the dang tube bros! Some of the crap shows, and reruns constantly... surely they could find the space to show more SEC baseball games.

sec+ is online only, correct?

There are many ways to get a stream on the internet to display on your TV. Would that work for you?

Rev, do you have internet?

It’s 2019...Internet also = TV now

If you have wireless internet at home and you have a normal cable or satellite provider then just go to Walmart or Best Buy and purchase an appletv.

Yeah, ive looked at cutting the chord, doesn't work for us here.

We have the worst internet available from a pathetic provider. Stream isn't strong enough to do so. Even at the highest available offering from the company.

I have considered going with a cell service company like myfi, or LINK

And getting sling, or something like it. With YouTube tv, etc. I will check out apple tv thanks.

It would help. I have a 72 inch tv, etal….

But I still don't understand why SEC network doesn't can some crap shows and show more SEC Baseball overall.. all well, nothing I can do about it.

I haven’t cut the cord. I have Dish as my main provider. I pay for SECNetwork so I can just use my dish login for the ESPN app on my Apple TV.

How is your cell service? If good enough to stream on your phone or iPad you can also purchase a connect box from Apple that hooks into your device and then us an hdmi hookup on the other side of box to go to tv.

If you have a smart tv and phone you can stream on your phone through wstchESPN and then cast it to your tv. This why I bought a smart tv for the garage. Didnt miss a game last year.

I've cut the cord for over 2 years. Roku and Sling, never miss a game.


Sometimes the WatchESPN stream is shitty but it's Baseball.

Get off Dial up Rev!

Hey Grandpa, get a Roku box, Apple TV box, fire stick, etc. and stream those games right on your TV. There’s no excuse for not watching the vast majority of our baseball games.

I usually do air play through my AppleTV. I didn't mention air play to Rev because both phone and AppleTV have to be on WiFi. He said he was pretty spotty there. Is it the same when you cast to your tv?

Ive got a Vizio 4K Smart tv 65" in the cave, but I have never even looked to see if it has the cast capability you speak of. I have just always used the Netflix and Amazon apps that are on it and then use AppleTV for ESPN/SEC, etc.

I will have to look into it now, thanks.

This has totally ruined me on some weekends in the spring. I will watch college baseball more than I watch college football since all the games have started to be available on tv.

Speaking of...the new pbp guy that has been doing our games...is he a replacement? I like him more than the last. They just need to get rid of the squeaky voiced color guy now.

Wouldn't mind Scott Inman getting those pbp duties on the broadcasts.

I either watch on my computers either watchESPN.com or the app or use the watchESPN app on my playstation/phone. I need to learn how to cast it from my chromebook to my bedroom smart tv.

As others have mentioned there are a million different ways to watch the games on ESPN+. However, I agree with your comments as there seems to be a ridiculous number of Softball games on the actual TV channel later in the spring. There is no way those are bringing in more viewers than baseball games.
