Just an update...I'm able to access the regular season games on archives too. I've looked and couldnt find anything about a free preview so I assume this is either a mistake or just the way its going to work this year. I did, however, find this: • NOTE: Due to broadcast restrictions, new MLB.TV and Condensed Game archives are limited to a playing time of five minutes in duration until 6 am ET on the day following that on which the applicable game commenced play. I'm reading this to mean you cant watch the whole game until after 6am the day after the game. Still, if you dont get to watch the games live anyway, it might save you some cash.
