Howdy, Partner! You Craving Some Texas Rangers Baseball in DFW?
So, you're a die-hard Rangers fan stuck in the DFW metroplex, and that baseball itch needs scratchin'. You wanna witness the glory of Gallo (or whoever's launchin' dingers these days) launch a moonshot into the Dallas sky. But hold on there, buckaroo, watching America's pastime in DFW can be a bit of a maze these days. Fear not, fellow baseball fanatic, for this here guide will have you yellin' "How about them Rangers?" in no time!
Cable Cowboys: The Tried and True Way
If you're rocking the good ol' fashioned cable package, then saddle up, partner! Here's where you can wrangle in those Rangers games:
- Bally Sports Southwest: This is your primary corral for all things Rangers, unless it's a national broadcast situation. Think of it as your own personal Rangers channel, filled with pre-game shows, post-game analysis, and maybe even a blooper reel or two (because let's face it, we all love a good Odor incident...well, maybe not love). You can find Bally Sports Southwest on most major cable providers in DFW, including:
- DirecTV: Channel 676 (yeehaw for satellite!)
- AT&T U-verse: Channel 1753 (but only for existing customers, so new folks might be outta luck)
- Spectrum: Channel 35 or 744 depending on your specific area (be sure to check your local listings)
- Grande Communications: Channel 36 or 836 (howdy to our Grande friends!)
Cord Cutters: Wranglin' Rangers Without Cable
Now, how about those of you who've ditched the cable box and gone maverick with streaming services? Don't worry, partners, there's still a way to catch those Rangers. But here's the thing: wranglin' Bally Sports Southwest on streaming services can be a bit of a rodeo these days. Some of the bigger brands like YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV don't currently offer Bally Sports due to a channel carriage dispute (cable companies love their little spats). However, fear not, there are still a couple of wranglers you can try:
- DirecTV Stream: This is DirecTV's answer to the streaming world, and it offers Bally Sports Southwest in its Choice Plan. Just remember, this option packs a bigger price tag than some of the others.
- FuboTV: Another streaming service that offers Bally Sports Southwest, but again, be prepared to pony up a bit more than the basic streaming service packages.
The Lone Star Looper: MLB.TV
Alright, so maybe cable and streaming services just ain't your style. Maybe you're a baseball purist who only wants Rangers games, and nothin' else. Well, saddle up for MLB.TV, your own personal Rangers buffet (with a blackout restriction side dish). This option lets you watch all Rangers games that are out-of-market, meaning any game not being broadcast on Bally Sports Southwest. However, there's a catch: you can't watch any Rangers games that are being shown locally. Think of it like a self-imposed exile, but for the sake of baseball.
Parting Shot: How About Them Rangers?
So there you have it, partners! With a little know-how, you'll be back to cheering on the Rangers in no time. Now, mosey on out there, grab some ballpark nachos (or a giant soft pretzel, we don't judge), and get ready to yell yourself hoarse for your favorite Texas team! Just remember, no matter how you choose to watch, there's one thing for sure: How about them Rangers?
