How to Watch the Texas Rangers (and Avoid Going Feral Without Baseball)
Ah, baseball season. The crack of the bat, the smell of hot dogs (questionable origin optional), and the existential dread of watching your team blow a three-run lead in the bottom of the ninth. But hey, at least you get to witness it all unfold, right? Except... what if you're unsure about how to watch your beloved Texas Rangers? Fear not, fellow baseball fan, for I, your friendly neighborhood guide to all things Rangers (and possibly nachos), am here to help!
Can You Stream the Rangers on the Bally Sports App? The Short Answer:
Maybe! But don't get too excited just yet, there's a little more to it than that.
The Slightly Longer (But Still Not Too Long) Answer:
The Bally Sports app is the place to be to stream Texas Rangers games, but only if you have a cable or satellite TV subscription that includes Bally Sports Southwest. Think of it like a secret handshake. You gotta have the password (cable subscription) to unlock the fun (Rangers baseball).
Here's the technical jargon breakdown:
- Bally Sports Southwest has the exclusive rights to broadcast Rangers games in their local territory.
- The Bally Sports app acts like an extension of that broadcast, allowing you to stream the games on your phone, tablet, or computer.
- But to access the stream, you need to prove you're already paying for Bally Sports Southwest through your cable or satellite provider.
In other words, the Bally Sports app isn't like Netflix where you just plop down some cash and get everything. It's more like a fancy club with a velvet rope.
So, You Don't Have Cable? Don't Fret Yet!
There are still a few ways you can catch your Rangers fix:
- Check the national broadcast schedule. Some Rangers games are televised nationally on networks like ESPN or MLB Network. You might not need cable for these, but it depends on your specific streaming service.
- Head to a bar (assuming you're of legal drinking age, of course). Many sports bars will have the game on, and who knows, you might make some new friends (or at least commiserate about the latest Rangers blunder together).
- Befriend someone with cable. Just kidding (mostly). But seriously, if you have a friend with the right cable package, maybe you can work out a viewing deal. Just be prepared to bring the snacks (and maybe some tissues for those inevitable emotional rollercoasters).
Ultimately, there are options! So grab your favorite Rangers jersey (or laundry day t-shirt, we're not judging), fire up the app (or convince your friend to let you in on their cable login), and get ready for some Texas-sized baseball!
