Why make the bases bigger.  Easier for forceouts but why.  Gets the first base man father from the base path. 
I don’t get it 

It's a safety issue that's been tested in the minor leagues; reduces runners sliding directly into fielders, or running into the first baseman. Also makes it easier for runners to pop up instead of sliding through the bag as is common now.

One thing I wish they would do is not call runners out on replay who involuntarily  pop off the bag by a couple inches.
