How to Catch Those Pesky Tigers: A Not-So-Serious Guide to Watching Detroit Baseball
Ah, the Detroit Tigers. A team steeped in tradition, with a stadium named after a dentist (don't look it up, it's true), and a fanbase that could outslug a grizzly bear with a hot dog in one hand and a Mitten (the glove, not the mitten!) in the other. But where, oh where, can you catch these ferocious felines in action? Fear not, fellow baseball fanatic, for this guide will have you roaring with the best of 'em in no time!
Cable? Nah, We Stream Now (Unless You Still Rock Cable, No Judgement)
For you cord-cutters out there (and let's be honest, who isn't these days?), there are a couple of ways to get your Tigers fix.
QuickTip: Short pauses improve understanding.
- Bally Sports+: This is the new king of the jungle, offering all things Tigers (including those awkward post-game interviews) for a monthly or yearly subscription. Think of it as your own personal Comerica Park in your pocket... except with better nachos (probably).
- Streaming Services: Got yourself a fancy streaming service like fuboTV or YouTube TV? Check if they include Bally Sports Detroit in your package. If so, you're good to go! Just remember, these services can get pricey, so be sure to crunch the numbers before you jump in.

Cable? Cable It Is Then!
Tip: Check back if you skimmed too fast.
Hey, no shame in the cable game! If you're rocking a traditional cable or satellite package, chances are you already have Bally Sports Detroit included. Just dust off that old remote, find the channel, and settle in for some baseball bliss. Pro tip: Check your provider's website to see if they offer a streaming app so you can catch the game on your phone or tablet, too.
Nationally Televised Games: When the Tigers Take Center Stage
QuickTip: Pause when something clicks.
Every now and then, the Tigers might grace us with their presence on a national broadcast network like ESPN or FOX. These games are a special treat, a chance to see your team on the big stage (and maybe even impress your out-of-town friends with your Tigers knowledge). Keep an eye on the MLB schedule to see if any upcoming games are getting the national treatment.
Bonus Round: Radio! For the True Diehards
QuickTip: Read a little, pause, then continue.
Let's face it, sometimes you just can't be glued to a screen. But that doesn't mean you have to miss out on the action! Tune into WJRW (AM 1340) to catch the Tigers on the radio. There's something undeniably charming about hearing the crack of the bat and the roar of the crowd through the crackle of the airwaves.
