Game time: 11:05 pm EDT
Scheduled starters: Clay Buchholz v ??????
The game will be on WRKO and on mlb.tv.
Tokyo weather: At 8 am it was clear, with the wind out of the north northeast at 14 mph, and the temperature was 46F.
The game will be played in a dome, so it really doesn't matter....

The two games against Oakland will be on NESN and on ESPN2, so it will be nationally televised. Both of the exhibition games are on mlb.tv and WRKO.

If they are night games and start at (guessing) 7 p.m. in Tokyo, they'll start at 6 am eastern and 3 am pacific. Guess I'm recording those puppies.
In fact, I saw on ESPN a 6 am start time, must have been east coast time.

Game starts in 20 minutes but MLB.com still doesn't have the link up. Someone's asleep at the switch.

I can't believe that mlb wouldn't take this opportunity to offer the game free online to promote mlb.tv. Then again, Yes, I can believe it.

They did skimp on the coaches, afterall.

It was fun listening to the game on MLB.tv in Japanese but it sure would have helped if they had kept the squeeze(with the count, outs, etc) that they had the first 3 innings.
Is this what we're going to get tomorrow morning?
