Enough waiting, the first pitch of the season is about 24 hours away. The new season brings an extra national game a week for those of use who get MLB Network as they'll have Thursday Night Baseball. It appears unlike their television partners, MLB wants variety in their telecasts as their first 8 games feature 16 different teams. There will still be local blackouts like with ESPN and TBS but there will be an alternate game with an RSN feed in their place.
Also once again this year MLB Extra Innings will be free for all the first week of the season.
