It's day No. 1 of Major League Baseball's 2023 postseason, and we've got all sorts of thoughts about what has transpired in the openers of the four best-of-three wild card series.
The biggest takeaway thus far is that the future of baseball is bright. Minnesota's rookie phenom Royce Lewis stole the day, but Texas' Evan Carter and Arizona's Corbin Carroll had big-time postseason debuts of their own. We'll have to wait until the ALDS to see what Baltimore's Gunnar Henderson has up his sleeve for October, but what a start for the young guys.
Not a great start for the East divisions, though.
