Gotta be rough for the minor league hitters to adjust at first, a lot of them have not seen live games in over a year, so I expect them to be rusty and a big adjustment period.

For the 1st time ever, the St Paul Saints played as the Twins' "AAA" affiliate. Home Opener - Sold Out (1/2 Capacity 3592) But the Cubs Pitching stole the show. After throwing a No Hitter, Cub Pitchers didn't allow a hit until 2 out in the 7th (HR). Joe Biagini: 5IP / 0H / 6K Mekkes gives up HR & 2BB (2IP). But he's conditioned his body. Dude looks like a player now. We'll see. P.J. Higgins got on base in all five plate appearances. Robert Stack K's 3. "AAA" bases are larger (18'x18'). As a joke, the mascot changed the bags before the game to 3'x3' home made specials. Pretty funny to see 'em.

I know 3" isn't much (that's what she said) but if this is adopted in MLB, with video replay it can make a big difference stealing second. You start out 3" closer. Add that to the possibility of the pitching rubber moving back and we may see steals become a huge part of the game again. If these have a chance of becoming reality in the majors, forward thinking teams will put more emphasis on speed and the value of base stealing threats.

Anyone watch the game? I would be interested to know how these came about. Was he playing rover in a shift? Did he throw behind the runners on a single?

Hmmm, Pelicans with 18 K's. Xzavion Curry, pitcher for the Hillcats had 11 of them. Kid is off to an impressive start to his career, even if he is 22 years old. 15 IP, 23 K's and a 0.00 ERA in 3 starts. Not bad for the Indians 7th round pick in 2019.
