Active rosters to 26 - Implement via league evolution?
Link to NBC Sports article discussing the subject. Active rosters likely going to 26 players for the 2020 season, with expanded rosters reducing to 28 players.
In the likely event that this is implemented in real life, it would be possible to "hardcode" the end-of-year-1 league evolution in OOTP 20, as we did in OOTP 13 with the Astros move to the AL. My question isn't whether it's possible, because we've done it before; my question is whether we'll do it again. As was the case in OOTP 13, those who turn off the relevant section of league evolution would not see any changes. |
I was going to ask the same thing.
|
you can do this easily on your own and only have to do it once. Its easy to do.
|
there are also talking about a limit of 13 pitchers on the 26 man roster. as well as upping the minimum batters faced to 3 for a reliever. I like all these ideas and hope they make it in to real life and OOTP.

Bullpen specialization is also terrible, but that rule is worse. |

I'm surprised that the union doesn't object to the rule. After all, it diminishes work opportunities for LOOGY's. |

I can't see the minimum of three batters for obvious reasons. The AL could get away with it however the NL would have problems. The main one is its the bottom of the eight with two out and you hold a one run lead, your starter had pitched his last pitch at 112pc, as he got the first two batters out however has just walked the last two batters and faces two out with two on. You need to go to the pen and bring in a reliever. The reliever gives up the tying run and gets the next batter out to end the inning. Top of the ninth you load the bases with two out and who is coming up to bat, you guessed it, that reliever, meanwhile you have your best pinch hitter on the bench and can't use him because your reliever had just pitched to two batters in the last inning and has to face one more. |

Of course, that point is moot as well since they're obviously bringing in a universal DH too, which everyone loves, right? |
I despise the new rules the MLB is trying. If they really wanted to shorten the game or improve the speed of the game then dump the commercials as that is 3 to 4 minutes these days so you can add up how much time that is on its own. Since I love History I decided a while back to look up game times and reasoning for the longer length of time at each turn, Radio used to not have commercials and the game went from 90 minutes to a bit over 2 hours and commercials were done by the announcers at that time then it became a full fledged commercials which boosted the game length time up to 2 hours and 30 minutes as TV did the same exact thing as well only they would cut to a commercial then each commercial break would get longer thus longer games. Even back during the radio days they KNEW what was causing the length of games to get longer. Revenue for the station and game. No way will they touch that. So they will blame other things and say the changes are for the fans and players. ridiculous such a scam we buy hook line and sinker

If they go to 26 with the extra man being a batter can 2 DH's be far behind? One for the pitcher and one for the catcher.

Has anyone anywhere considered the possibility that game lengths are a product of audience preferences? After spending $50 per person for tickets, plus the cost of parking, for an afternoon at the ballpark, does a fan really want to be sent home after 90 minutes? I haven't thought about this hypothesis deeply, but I wonder whether anybody else has thought about it at all.

I found the 2017 data. Below is the average game length in minutes for normal duration games (8½–9 innings, 51–54 outs) in that league. Also included is the minimum and maximum length, standard deviation, and number of games in the sample.
