In My Backyard: Brewers on the Bally Block
If you reside in the magical land of Wisconsin (or some other lucky states blessed by Brewers broadcasts), then Bally Sports Wisconsin is your holy grail. This is your one-stop shop for most Brewers games, so cozy up on the couch and fire up the cable (or whichever fancy way you get your TV these days). But hey, what about those out-of-market games? Don't worry, we got you covered there too.
Broadcasting Beyond the Borders: Catching the Crew on the Go
Just because you're on a road trip to that friend's wedding in, shudder, Chicago, doesn't mean you have to miss the game. Here's where things get a little more interesting:
- MLB.TV: This is your subscription service for out-of-market games. Think of it like a super-powered Brewers bar, accessible from anywhere (with decent internet, of course). Just be warned, there might be some blackout restrictions depending on your location, so check the fine print before you subscribe.
- National Broadcasts: Keep an eye out for those glorious Friday Night Baseball (Apple TV+), Saturday Night Baseball (FOX), or Sunday Night Baseball (ESPN) games. These are your Brewers in the national spotlight, a chance to show off Yelich's swing to the whole country (and maybe make some new fans...or terrify opposing pitchers).
Bonus Tip: Radio is your friend! Download the MLB At Bat app and listen to the dulcet tones of Bob Uecker narrate the game. It's like having your own personal baseball grandpa in your pocket.
QuickTip: If you skimmed, go back for detail.
