Yeah I know but that they were Japanese is what surprised me.

That's because Nintendo airs the Mariners games in Japan. Still kinda interesting though.

I thought it was interesting that they advertise the "SF Gigantes" here.

Aren't those things added digitally these days, though? I wonder why they don't use that just for the Japanese broadcasts and something more oriented at American audiences here, unless that violates some MLB rule.

Heh, awesome to see I wasn't the only NWR member watching the Mariners on MLB.tv tonight. :)

The ads are digital (it's basically just a green screen at the stadium), but I think the ads are the same for everyone.
