How Rule Changes Affect Stats, For Better or Worse


Listen Later

With the MLB regular season coming to a close, Peter takes a look at upcoming rule changes in the league and across the NBA and NFL to evaluate how that could affect the way we view historic seasons. He starts with the feasibility of breaking NFL single-season records with the transition to a 17-game regular season (3:44), before discussing the NBA's new penalties on transition take fouls (18:08) and MLB's banning of the defensive shift (26:49). He ends the show with a brief look at the NFL receiving leaders in EPA through Week 2 and what that might mean moving forward (49:07).
