Inspired by the low scoring on opening day (which means nothing of course since it is only one day
) I start this thread.
2010 was called the year of the pitcher. with 4.38 runs this was the lowest scoring in nearly 2 decades. then 2011 came and the scoring was even lower. other stats like OBP, OPS and BA dropped correspondingly. the scoring already dropped slowly from the early to mid 2000s (probably due to th end of the steroid era) but this drop of in the last 2 years was really surprising.
-Is this a fluke?
-will this continue?
-what is the reason for this? (I have a feeling that the high strike is called again a little more but not sure)
