I cast a lot of broadcasts to my TV, but I am having trouble with this twitter broadcast.

 

Hmm, I don't know what to tell you then. I just tried casting Twitter, which I can do no problem, and I don't even have an account anymore. I can't find the link to the broadcast, however

The broadcast is on the Red Sox twitter feed.

I am currently watching it on my TV
I have to figure this out for tomorrow or just watch it on my laptop which is better that watching it on the phone.

Casting twitter to the TV?

 

Yes. Cast the webpage to the TV, and then expand the video to full screen

Is Chaim s***ing me? This is going to be the rotation to start the season? This season will be a sprint not a marathon like normal seasons. With no crowds and our pitching getting blown up game after game, it will be like watching batting practice before the gates open.

 

Lots of piggybacking, lots of bullpen games. If you're going to go that route, a 60 game season is the time to do it.

 

ERod will be like our trade deadline acquisition to put us over the top.

I’ve told you from the winter meetings, the Sox are tanking 2020. If you had to pick a year to tank, this is the one. You reset, you get Sale back next year and you rebuild.

^^Wishful thinking.

Maybe we can get the number one draft pick, next year.

 

 

Great. Top pick after the colleges and high schools didn’t play. Good luck scouting that draft...

If they are tanking, I’d rather have them do it for 60 games as opposed to 162. Much more watchable. Or less unwatchable...

Well, with our record in recent drafts, throwing a dart may help us.

I wasn't really thinking about "tanking." My top draft pick idea came to me after looking at our projected rotation.

@TheAthleticBOS

It'll be 3 guys sitting in a studio calling a game on TV that's being played nowhere near them.

 

Here's how NESN plans to make Red Sox games feel like normal this year

Couldn't be any worse than a normal NESN broadcast.

 

As long as I still get Eck roasting players on both teams when they do something stupid, I don't care what they do

Does Remy stay away due to health concerns? Have him on a Teams meeting from his house?

 

I believe Eck lives in the Bay Area, so I bet they put more of a focus on bringing in local talent (why DiNardo is on all the time).

"NESN plans to have analysts Jerry Remy and Dennis Eckersley, and play-by-play man Dave O’Brien call all 60 Red Sox games remotely from its studio in Watertown, Mass., this season, according to The Boston Globe."

A700 will be happy that there will be no Speier.

LOL Speier will find his way on the telecasts somehow.

Per Heyman, the Braves have signed Yasiel Puig.

 

We can put an end to the Puig to the Red Sox rumors.

 

I've heard that he's not exactly a great presence in the clubhouse. That's probably why he's bounced around since leaving the Dodgers

I will miss giving the nerd alerts.

 

Then how will we know if there's a nerd... as we constantly type to strangers about how smart we are about constantly typing to strangers.

 

I like Alex Speier. The data Stat Masterson provides on-air complements the booth banter, and modernizes the broadcast with new perspective on veteran analysis and Ecknology.

The data is fine, it's his personality that's a problem.

I did not want the Sox to sign him for that very reason.
