Is the batter up? Who’s on first? Customers of Time Warner Cable and other paid-TV providers can find out for free this week as MLB Extra Innings channel offers a free preview through April 11.
Time Warner is the only one with an official announcement on the freebie. The baseball package, which will broadcast “well over 2,000 out-of market baseball games” this year is $179 for the whole season from Time Warner if you order by April 11. After that, it goes up to $199.
Some special features for this season include a way to watch the same game broadcast from the home team and the visiting team. You choose. Also, there will be a multi-screen mosaic so viewers can watch multiple games in the same TV frame.
In Orange County, Cox Communications also offers the MLB package. Consumers can check with their local TV service to see if the MLB free preview is available. More details at www.getbaseball.com or by calling 1-888-SPORTS-iN.

Here's a list of TV/mobile companies helping consumers one tweet at a time. 
I don’t see it on their website, but I can verify that Cox is offering the free preview of MLB Extra Innings as well.
It’s listed on the iN DEMAND website, though (both Cox and TWC own part of iN DEMAND):

DirecTV has the preview as well:

Not sure about FiOS or U-verse. Dish doesn’t offer MLB Extra Innings at all.
Generally, the free preview always takes place the first week of the regular season. Another free preview takes place the week after the All-Star game, so be on the lookout at that time.
Thanks Bud!
