Playoff Streaming Options

[Ulice Payne]

We don't normally have a live TV streaming service, although we get Bally's for the regular season.  Fortunately, the Brewers have given us the annual problem of finding a streaming service every October to see the playoff games.

We'll need ESPN and FS1 for the NL games.  TBS for the AL.  FOX for the WS, but that can be pulled in on the antenna.  Looking around, I believe Sling Orange & Blue will be the best place to get those channels.  Looks like it will cost $27.50 for the first month.

Checking before I sign up Tuesday morning; has anyone found a better option?

YouTube TV? Sometimes they have a free trial.

Gotta love how MLB has created a scenario in which you have to Google how to watch your local team play every year and sift through misleading info. 10/10 marketing.

I mean, sure, this is a difficult task if you just don't have TV at all and simply watch Bally all year to get the Brewers....and then insist on finding the cheapest possible avenue to watch the postseason games. I am guessing the number of people that have this issue is a speck of sand on a beach. 

Baseball is incredibly easy to watch these days. Much easier than football where it seems 25% of your team's schedule might force you to buy Amazon Prime or Peacock to even see the games now. You aren't even assured that playoff games will be on national TV.

Not if you are in the local market. I never need anything other than an antenna to watch the Packers. I don't even have a legal path to the Brewers anymore because I got sick of trying to figure out what games would be on or not. I remember a period of swapping between Sling and YouTube and whatever. It sounds like now, that may be easier?

I just follow it on my phone/radio and for the playoffs I will add one month of whatever is easiest. I'm still not really sure what that is.

So I went with the Sling option here in Texas to get Fox and ESPN.  Was working great yesterday for the Braves/Mets games - now today giving me location errors on all of my devices.   Anybody else run into this?   Did all of the common troubleshooting steps, but maybe I am missing something
