A Preview to the 2023 MLB Season



Written By: Carmine Tuosto of Swish Tribune

Baseball fans, get ready for another exciting season of baseball. The 2023 Major League Baseball season is upon us, and there is a lot to look forward to. 

One of the most significant changes to this season is the expanded playoffs. Instead of 10 teams, the postseason will feature 12 teams, giving more teams a shot at the World Series. With more teams in the hunt, the competition will be fierce, and fans can expect plenty of huge moments. 

As we begin to watch this year's Spring Training games, baseball fans all over have noticed the new pitch clock. A 15 second clock winds down and forces the pitcher to pitch faster, making at bats less lengthy. This will also decrease the duration of baseball games. Baseball fans may be upset by this, not getting the real baseball feel. Those just starting to watch America's pastime, may get lethargic while watching a game, but the pitch clock will help them stay focused.

The 2023 season will also feature some of the game's brightest young stars making their debuts. Gunnar Henderson of the Baltimore Orioles, Orioles and Corbin Carroll of the Diamondbacks are expected to make big impacts in their freshman season. They'll join established superstars like Mike Trout, Aaron Judge, and Juan Soto, making for a league loaded with talent.

Several teams will be worth watching this season. The Houston Astros will be looking to defend their World Series championship, while the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees will be looking to reclaim their spots atop their respective divisions. The New York Mets and San Diego Padres, two teams with plenty of talent, will also be worth keeping an eye on.

Overall, the 2023 MLB season promises to be full of excitement and drama. With a lot of rule changes, talented young stars, and established superstars, there will be no shortage of thrilling moments to keep fans on the edge of their seats. So, let's get ready for an exciting season of baseball.

ACC & Big 12 Approves new CFP Revenue Model

Image
 Are They ACCtually in Trouble? Sage Rubin, Swish Tribune Despite moving to 12 teams, the College Football Playoff is set to move to 14 teams in the coming years. However, this time, there is a twist: Both the SEC and the Big Ten conferences are set to take 58% of the generated revenue, while the ACC and Big 12 are set to take 32% of the revenue, leaving Notre Dame and the G5 to take the other 10% of revenue. While this may seem like a no-brainer for the ACC and Big 12 as this ensures at least a somewhat large share of the pie in a world where we are beginning to see two power conferences emerge… this was a much more dangerous decision on the ACC’s end and here’s why. FSU and the ACC are currently in a lengthy legal battle involving FSU trying to set themselves up for an exit from the ACC, citing that the conference has hampered their ability to compete with the competition. The most prominent example of this was the controversial College Football Playoff Selection Show that aired ...

My Knicks Trade Deadline Wishlist

Image
Written By: Spencer Teman, of Swish Tribune The NBA Trade Deadline is just days away and many teams are in need of making a move including the New York Knicks. The Knicks have been one of the hottest teams of late, being 9-1 in their last 10 games, but they are not anywhere near perfect as a roster just yet.  The Knicks already made one of the biggest trades in the NBA this season when they acquired OG Anunoby from Toronto, but their next move needs to be centered around acquiring another shooter that can play valuable minutes off the bench.  Once the Knicks are fully healthy again, they have a tremendous starting lineup, but ever since they traded away RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley, and also with multiple injuries, their depth has been tested. The only way you can be successful as a team in the NBA is to be able to knock down 3's at a highly consistent rate.  The perfect guy that comes to mind for the Knicks, who fits Tom Thibodeau's wishlist, is Bruce Brown. Bruce Br...
