In response to "I didn't realize making the bases larger was something that was being discussed. I don't remember ever hearing people calling for larger bases. " by Krusty

I hadn’t either until this weekend. I think the theory is to give the fielder more room to avoid a runner due to replay.

Turning a double play at second got a lot more hazardous with replay because even a split second early means the runner is safe. A bigger bag gives them more room to avoid a slide.
