You Wanna Watch the Giants? Buckle Up, Buttercup!
Ah, the San Francisco Giants. A team steeped in glorious history, passionate fans, and enough orange creamsicles to put Willy Wonka to shame. But where, oh where, do you, intrepid baseball fan, catch these mighty sluggers in action? Fear not, for I, your friendly neighborhood baseball guru (with a questionable sense of humor), am here to guide you through the wonderful world of Giants-watching.
In the Realm of Cable (or Streaming...Whatever)
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.

NBC Sports Bay Area: Your One-Stop Shop (if you're in the Bay Area)
Living the dream in the land of fog and sourdough? Then you're in luck! Most cable providers will offer NBC Sports Bay Area, the official broadcaster of all things Giants. Settle in, crack open a cold beverage, and prepare to be entertained by Krukow's ghost (not literally, that would be terrifying). However, if you're a cord-cutter who wouldn't know a coaxial cable from a particularly long shoelace, fret not! -
Streaming Services: Baseball for the Modern Age
FuboTV, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV – these glorious services offer NBC Sports Bay Area in their channel lineups, allowing you to ditch cable without ditching the Giants. Just remember, these services can set you back a pretty penny, so make sure your love for the orange and black runs deep.
Beyond the Bay: When Location is a Cruel Mistress
QuickTip: Skim first, then reread for depth.
- MLB.TV: Your Ticket to Out-of-Market Magic
Don't reside in the Giants' glorious broadcast territory? Fear not, wanderlusting baseball fan! MLB.TV offers a subscription service that allows you to stream out-of-market games, meaning you can catch all the Giants action (except when they're playing your local team, blackout rules are a thing). Just be prepared to explain to your significant other why you need yet another streaming service.
Tip: Rest your eyes, then continue.

Hit the Bar: Cheers to Baseball!
Many a bar across the land will be showing the Giants game, especially if it's a big one. The atmosphere can be electric, the beer can be cold, and who knows, you might even make some new friends (or scare them away with your passionate – and slightly off-kilter – baseball commentary). -
Radio: Old School Cool
There's something undeniably charming about listening to a baseball game on the radio. The crack of the bat, the roar of the crowd (filtered through the magic of radio waves), and the dulcet tones of the announcer – it can transport you right to the ballpark, hot dog in hand. Just be prepared to explain to your neighbors why you're yelling at the radio like a madman.
Remember: No matter how you choose to watch the Giants, wear your orange and black with pride, indulge in excessive amounts of ballpark snacks (responsibly, of course), and be prepared to yell at the TV (or radio) like there's no tomorrow. Because let's face it, baseball is serious business, but it should also be a whole lot of fun. Now go forth and Giants-watch responsibly (or irresponsibly, depending on your definition of fun)!
