I would like to suggest that a 1 way chat or the ability to post notes to those watching on iscorecast. This would be used to describe a delay like "Player Injury, collision at 2nd" Or if you wanted to explain an infield single, "Ball deflected by Pitcher". I found myself hunting for my cell phone and group texting many times during games where this feature would be very handy.

You have this ability already with the notes. iscorecast viewers see notes that are posted. I often post notes such as "coach to circle", "time out called", etc, so the viewers know why there may be a delay in the play.

Been available forever.

I'd like to see a chat feature implemented a little easier than it is now though.

depending on what device you are using the NOTE icon is more prominent.
on tablets the notes icon is on the scoring screen so it is one tap away and pretty straight forward i think for one way communication. on phones, the notes icon may be a couple swipes away and in that regard i think it could be easier in terms of access but not sure what simpler method you envision for one way text message.

now two way or group messaging i think you need to go to twitter.

I think they have Facebook integration, it's just kind of hidden.

I do not believe there is any facebook integration on the scoring screen (.. if it is i would say extremely well hidden because i have not seen it )

twitter integration yes, but not Facebook

Yeah. Sorry. Meant to say it was with iscorecast. Never used it. Just happened to see it there.

One thing hopefully they can do is make an easy way to do a status update with the links.
