turnin' two Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Does anyone have any idea what the oversized bases deal is about? Like what does that do for anyone? Why does it need to change? Anyone have any insight at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 The main idea to prevent injuries, but also to hopefully push the stolen base back into usage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pics I've seen on twitter don't make it look that much bigger. Noticeable but I wouldn't call it absurdly large. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 While they were at it, they should’ve done something about the size of first base and clear up the throwing lane rule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black jack Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Hopefully golf follows this. I need 12” holes to lose the stagnation of my game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHurt3515 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I understand making 1B a little bigger to hopefully avoid injury but the other bases I just don't see the reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grindersrule Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 The larger base will probably make it easier for a stealing runner to hold the base while the tag is applied. Replay and the hi def cameras turned a lot of safe calls in to outs. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steals are exciting, this will help create more excitement. Same with banning the shift next year. and personally as a fan of team with Luis Robert anything that prevents him from ripping that thumb again I'm 100% behind.
