Mike - I guess you are pretty serious about this...

When you first put it on the other forum, I couldn't tell if you were serious or just "stirring the pot" a bit....

(I suppose if you were just "stirring the pot", you would have put it on HeyBucket! )

I'm not serious to the point of a major change is coming, but I am surprised (not your home town) at the lack of vision. Not that they disagree so much, that's fine, but the "don't have to consider it, I'm against it" manner.

As I had stated, was not the reason the PP went to 43' to adjust for the skills of the pitcher and the effect they had on the overall game? Was not the reason the fences were moved back because of the effect the equipment and skills had on the game? Just curious as to why those "had to happen", but moving the bases in FP is so easily dismissed.

What do you think is going to happen when someone tries to push the 52/300 into the FP game?

Personally, I would be willing to see an experiment with the bases further back to see how it impacts the game. It seems that there has been trending to more offense lately in the sport. At least, that is how it seems to me.
