00:00If Major League Baseball returns in 2020 what might the actual style of the games
00:12look like? Well for clues you might want to go back to 1981 when baseball returned
00:17in August after missing two months because of the players strike. Back then
00:23offense went up just slightly in August. But that's not really applicable because
00:29in 1981 in August rosters remained at 25 per team. There was no expansion of the
00:35rosters. This time around owners and players are talking about 30 man rosters
00:41with 15 man pitching staffs. So the most apt analogy is probably September when
00:49rosters expand. Last year in September the average number of pitching changes
00:55made per team per game increased from 3.2 to 4.1 and the Major League batting
01:03average decreased from 254 to 244 in September. 15 man pitching staffs? You're
01:12probably looking at more pitching changes and less offense.
