After a long delay and a shortened season in 2020, should baseball fans expect the sport to return to normal with a full 162-game schedule?

Beaver County to talk about how the Pirates starters, while playing relatively well in Grapefruit League action, will see a diminished role as far as innings pitched. Block sees that as a trend that will happen throughout the season due to last year’s rearranged schedule, and that it may open up a new level of competition throughout the MLB.
