Become a Tigers Fanatic: Your Guide to Watching Detroit Claw Their Way to Victory (Hopefully)
Let's face it, folks, summer screams baseball. The crack of the bat, the roar of the crowd, the existential dread of a ninth-inning meltdown (don't worry, we'll get to that later). But the most important question: how do you actually watch the Detroit Tigers play and witness Miguel Cabrera break every hitting record known to man? Buckle up, because we're about to embark on a journey through the wild world of Tigers broadcasts.
Cable? Cut the Cord? We Got You Covered (Unless You Live in a Literal Cave)
QuickTip: Look for repeated words — they signal importance.
There are two main ways to catch the Tigers in action:
Tip: Share one insight from this post with a friend.
Cable/Satellite: The classic approach. If you're rocking a cable or satellite package that includes Bally Sports Detroit, you're golden. Just tune in and watch the boys (and the occasional girl singing the national anthem) battle it out. You can also stream the games on the Bally Sports app using your cable login. But hey, who wants to get up and change the channel when there's a perfectly good fridge raid to be conducted during a pitching change, right?
Streaming Services: Cord Cutters Rejoice! Fear not, cord-cutters! There are a bunch of streaming services that carry Bally Sports Detroit, including fuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, and YouTube TV. Just sign up, pay the monthly fee (hopefully less than what you spend on ballpark nachos), and you're good to go. Pro Tip: Some of these services offer free trials, so you can catch a game or two (or ten) before committing.
MLB.TV: Your Passport to Tigers Baseball (with a Few Exceptions)
Tip: Reread sections you didn’t fully grasp.
Here's the deal with MLB.TV: it's a fantastic way to watch pretty much every single Tigers game... unless they're playing a team in your local market (thanks, blackout restrictions!). But hey, if you live outside of Tigers territory or have a serious case of wanderlust, MLB.TV is your best bet. Just be prepared to explain to your significant other why you absolutely need a subscription to watch Nicholas Castellanos hit a dinger.
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.

Bonus Round: Because Baseball is More Than Just Watching
The Radio Broadcast: An Old-School Delight There's something special about listening to the dulcet tones of talented broadcasters paint a picture of the game with their words. Grab an old-fashioned radio (or use your phone, you millennial you) and tune in for a more intimate Tigers experience.
Hit Up a Bar (Responsibly, of Course!) Many sports bars will be showing the Tigers game, offering the perfect opportunity to cheer (or cry) alongside fellow fans. Just be sure to pace yourself on the nachos and adult beverages – you don't want to miss a key play because you, well, you get the idea.
