The biggest thing with the seams is the larger they are the more movement a pitcher gets.

That isn't the biggest thing. All else being equal on a deep fly ball, the ball can travel an extra 25 feet with the lower seams because the coefficient of restitution is higher.

Mainieri needs to learn the bunt--not having Rhymes bunt in 9th was terrible--turns to bunt twice, has a 2-0 count and then Mainieri takes the bunt off--double play. Rhymes unfortunately has turned into a double play king--you have to bunt regardless in that situation, even with 2 strikes! A poor coaching decision.

The announcers in the (I think) Superregional were talking in a way that sounded like the smaller seems were very likely to be instituted.

I also thought that it was more the lack of motion that the pitchers could getbon the ball that was the bigger factor. But lack of wind resistance leading to longer drives makes some sense too.
