The bases were also made bigger, shrinking the distance between bags by 4 1/2 feet.

The article is not worth reading as it painfully details every violation of the new MLB rules.
It ends with the absurd error claiming the bases were 4 1/2 feet closer (instead of inches).
Did none if the six writers proof read the article? Did ANYONE proof read this?

They must be really big bases.

The headline of the article is “MLB opening day has 14 clock violations, stolen base spike”, don’t know where the poster got all the additional stuff.

The article's shortcomings aside, the games zipped right along--so quickly that Kershaw quipped, "I hope they can sell enough beer."

I was going to say. How big are the new bags? They’d have to be mattresses.

What happens with a violation?
To: mcenedo
It ends with the absurd error claiming the bases were 4 1/2 feet closer (instead of inches). Did none if the six writers proof read the article? Did ANYONE proof read this? My first thought - are the new bases the size of kiddie wading pools?
Also, THIS is the standard of "journalists" these days. In the eyes of our neo-marxist rulers, the dumber, the better - because they will feel no shame when they are forced to write pure propaganda

Apparently some sort of pitch timer. I don’t know what a base spike is, so I wouldn’t know if one was stolen.

What happens with a violation? Automatic ball if the pitcher or the catcher take too much time, automatic strike if the batter takes too much time.

George would never steal base spikes or anything else.

Analytics killed the beauty of the game, and I don’t see them ever going back. “Hey, let’s just put a base-runner on second base to start extra-innings ...” Idiots!

What about the games being 30 min shorter? Doesn’t that leave less time for commercials?
