There is no easy solution. The solutions involve getting someone else's Bally login or getting MLB.tv and a VPN or something. Or dodgy streams, I guess.

It's absolute malpractice that MLB has gotten to this point. You've got like 20% or more of the baseball watching public who is now used to not being able to watch the games, in a time when MLB is terrified they're going to become irrelevant. They should be leaning on Bally to make a deal or pushing them relentlessly to launch their stand alone streaming package.

I asked this same question on the MSB. Would getting a VPN allow me to trick YouTube TV of my location and then would allow me to watch any local in market game? Say for example I want to watch the Bengals NFL game and it’s not televised in the Lafayette area, can I trick youtube into thinking I am in the local Cincy market and it would show on a local channel?

AT&T Now/DirecTV now, whatever they call it these days, is the only streaming service with Ballys.

Now that you’ve cut the cord, you can probably call back in and get a better rate with cable. directv stream has Bally on their $90/month level. Yay….

Bally wanted to go the streaming route. But MLB told them they don't own the "streaming" rights. Bally is getting left out to die. Going to be fascinating to see what happens

I have Sprectrum for my Internet service provider and I login with that. The Bally Sports app can't tell that I don't pay for cable

May be worth a shot depending on who your ISP is.

We left Youtube TV for Direct TV stream due to the Bally situation for the Braves.

I just moved to Dtv Stream too because I wanted to watch the last month of Spurs games (Pelicans fan in Texas, so I wanted to watch the Spurs jump the Lakers). I like everything about Dtv Stream. The menu is smooth and, to me, the picture quality is better than both Youtube TV & Fubo. The issue with Dtv Stream is always the price as their packages are always $10 or so more than similar packages from their competitors. But it does come with Bally Sports and ATT Sports (Fubo has ATT Sports but not Ballys).

FWIW, Dtv Stream is offering $10 off any package plus free premium stations (HBO Max, Showtime, Epic, Stars) for three months for new signups. So that puts it closer to price as the other stremaing services for 3-months with a shite ton of movie channels all of premium stations on demand stuff.

Thanks, probably going to give it a try since there isn't really anything lost in doing so
