All 30 teams will play on Thursday and according to NBC Sports, “the 2023 MLB Season will debut a few rule changes including bigger bases, a pitch timer, and defensive shift restrictions.
Bigger Bases: All bases, with the exception of home plate, will now be 18 inches square. Prior to this change, bases were 15 inches square.
Pitch Timer: Pitchers will now have 15 seconds to throw a pitch if the bases are empty and 20 seconds to throw a pitch if there’s a runner on base. Additionally, there will be a 30-second timer between batters.
Defensive Shift: All four infielders are required to be on the infield with two on each side of second base at the time a pitch is thrown.”

This should hopefully speed up the game a bit and make it more exciting. Just in time, T-Mobile is bringing back a popular promotion that I’ve written about for the last three years. Today through Tuesday, April 4 at 4:59 a.m. ET (one week from now), all T-Mobile users can redeem a free, year-long subscription to MLB.tv, which streams full, live MLB games. It’s a $149.99 value.
If you’re a T-Mobile user like I am, this means a couple of clicks gets you access to hundreds of out-of-market MLB games for free all season. And this year, it’s in addition to an MLB.tv subscription. All you have to do is sign up through the T-Mobile Tuesdays app using the instructions here. Just make sure you do it by April 12!
FYI: I took the photo above when I attended MLB’s Opening Day in 2014. It was in Sydney, Australia! Here are my photos.

The problem with the free MLB TV is that they blackout all the local games, which is all we are interested in.
But you should be able to watch local games on TV, no? I live in L.A. so watching my beloved Yankees for free is amazing
Las Vegas doesn’t have a MLB team, yet. So I should get all the games.
Thanks Johnny!
We are Angel’s fans, and we’re very upset when we couldn’t watch their 2nd game. My husband finally found it on his
I phone on Apple TV. He said their commentators were horrible, talking about unrelated things instead of the game action.
Any suggestions about how to watch or stream the tennis grand slams?
Blacked-out local games include road games. So, what’s the point of this app?
I live in L.A. but am a Yankees fan so I can watch every game except when they’re on national tv or in L.A.
