I was wondering when you might bring this over here......

I think the bases are just fine where they are at. Moving the pitchers back was done because pitching was too dominant (in theory). Now that the pitchers have been moved back at the higher levels, it has put some more offense in the game. I think that if you move the bases back five feet, you negate the 43 foot pitching distance and we are right back where we were a few years ago with a pitching/defense dominated game that is "boring" to the casual fan. I also tend to agree with some of the responses on the other forum that it would limit the effectiveness of the short game.
