Ourand: MLB pitch clock is fine, but bigger bases will make the game more exciting

MLB is implementing new rules to make games faster, but while most of the conversation is about the pitch clock, SBJ’s John Ourand is excited about bigger bases. “Finally, we’re going to get speed on the bases again,” Ourand said on this week’s episode of The Marchand and Ourand Sports Media Podcast. “We’re going to see pitchers really struggling with runners on base. That’s an aspect of the game that we’ve been missing for a while.” Meanwhile, podcast co-host Andrew Marchand of the N.Y. Post is happiest about the prospect that faster games will allow him to go to bed earlier. View their discussion about MLB’s quicker pace.
