..how do you follow Tennessee Baseball games? I was using the horrible ESPN app to just follow vague happenings of the innings, but it no longer works. (They care more about women’s badminton than college baseball.) How can I watch, or at least follow the games? My best method now isn’t the worst and that’s following this forum, but I’d really like to see some of the action.

Hulu is great, it comes with ESPN plus and the Disney bundle for like 64.99a Month. Totally worth it, live tv with more channels then you would expect and a hub where you can go in and binge watch your favorite shows or find a movie to watch, so many selections, I highly recommend it man 👍

Also I’ve always been able to find a game being streamed on youtube. Just search the game and you can usually find someone streaming for free on youtube, can be kinda spotty tho but hey it’s free and better then nothing.

ESPN Airs 90+% of Tennessee games on the streaming app because we are number 1. With a huge following this year. They sell more subscriptions to that service at 7 dollars per. It's all about the Benjamins.

Fubotv is a another way to go. You get SECN and SECN+, as well as ESPN and its' offspring. Costs about the same as hulutv. I use a Roku box as a platform.

subscribe to espn+ on your computer (or tablet or phone). it's like $7.50 per month and you also get access to all their videos, documentaries and bonus articles daily.
then just go to "watch" on the top toolbar and scroll down to "browse". click on "baseball" or "ncaa baseball" and browse thru practically every D1 game in the country for that day.
find the vols game and click it. the picture quality is outstanding, crystal clear. you can put it on full screen and get a great view of the game.
i have a 32" desktop monitor so it is like watching on tv.

I don’t have cable. However, I have an Amazon fire stick smart TV (best buy) with spectrum internet. It wouldn’t let me purchase espn plus.

You can get a HDMI cable and run it to your big screen. I have this all the time. I have not had cable for seven years. I get all the UT football , NFL and whatever tour looking for. I also get all the movies and tv shows I want. Granted I have had trouble getting the UT baseball games so I rely on our little old forum on Volnation to keep me informed. I get the highlights of the TN game about 30 to hour after the game on YouTube.

My app did the same thing. Used to do play by play and show live stats. Now nothing

That’s because it’s only $13 per month. Not sure where he’s getting that $64.99 number.

The ESPN+ subscription is the correct answer. Not sure if the OP is referring to just having an ESPN app or having ESPN+. There’s a difference.

I was having an issue watching games on the ESPN app also. I deleted & reinstalled it then logged back into my ESPN account and cable provider and it’s working fine now.

I used my 89 year old grandmother’s cable subscription to create an online account and then everything is free. She honestly didn’t know what I was even asking for and certainly didn’t care if I used it for that purpose.

I have an LG and while you can watch certain ESPN shows you can't download the ESPN+ app. That forces me to use its very slow web browser to go to ESPN and access Plus that way, but it is very slow loading. Strange since I don't have any speed issues once I get to the right program.

My tech savvy daughter keeps telling me to use my computer and the airtime to my receiver. Guess I need to figure that out.

Big hockey fan, follow the Rangers and Plus is the only way I get their games. Getting the Vols baseball is an added benefit.

I use utsports.com, scroll to the calendar, click on the baseball listing, click on "Live stats" and click on "Live Audio" and listen on my phone to John Wilkerson and follow along on the live stats.

If you’re in a spot where video isn’t an option, this is the way.

You can also access it through the Tennessee Gameday app. The live stats update pretty quick if they’re at home or an SEC school, and you can switch between game status, box score, play by play, etc.

That app is also the easiest/best way to get Wilkerson’s play by play.

It’s $64.99 for Hulu Live TV. To get ESPN+, Hulu (streaming only, no live), and Disney+, it’s $13.99. Hulu Live TV is basically cable.

Roku is crazy. I still struggle to wrap my brain around the Roku channel. You just buy any Roku device (TV, stick, whatever) and you get the Roku Channel, which is almost like having cable and there’s no extra cost. We still have a streaming service too but if someone were struggling with the money to get cable or a streaming service, that Roku channel is certainly sufficient.
