Looking for pros and cons of each. I'm in the market for one, but know very little about the products. I will be using it to stream LSU baseball games. Any input is appreciated. TIA

just get a roku 3 when it's on sale for $70. it's worth the extra money.

If you're gonna get a stick, get the Amazon FireTV Stick - it's the best stick available. Of the two you posted, the Roku stick is better, but the Fire Stick is the best stick out there.

I've had the Chromecast for a week....and all I can say is that it has performed fantastic for every task I've put it through. The fact that I can control it seamlessly from my phone is a plus. I watched every LSU baseball game that I didn't attend on it, streamed the PBS app over screencast for my daughter, and scrolled through a bunch of pictures on my phone for my MIL to see on the screen.
Obviously I haven't put it through its paces, but I don't see it being a bad purchase especially for 35 bucks.

Chromecast doesn't have all of the capabilites of FireTV or Roku sticks, as far loading Kodi and all, but for what it is and its price, it's a great device. I have one and I love it.

We bought a Roku stick for our daughter's room. She likes to watch a show or 2 of Disney Jr or PBS kids before going to sleep at night. It works great for what we got it for. Plus, you can control it with your phone via their app.
Here's a comparison from back in October...I'm sure a few things have changed, but it helped me decide on the Roku stick over the other 2: LINK.

Needs a "remote" to send it shows..I know thats not exactly how it works, but that is the jest
