[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1727480, member: 26283"] Mainly, that it makes it easier for base stealers, especially when sliding. One of the things instant replay has taught us is that it’s actually really hard to maintain contact with the base after running full speed and then coming to a complete stop. Guys that used to be safe because “they beat the throw” are now being called out because they didn’t maintain contact with the base. Making the base a bit bigger would give the runner just a little extra leeway. [/QUOTE]
