I get what you are saying, but with regards to the shift, I don't agree. Many of the best hitters in baseball have trouble going the other way, and this has been true since the dawn of the game. Almost all hitters have power alleys. It is hard to hit a baseball and it is really hard to spray baseballs all over the field. What has changed are the analytics which allow precision in the placement of individuals to take away hitter strengths. What the shift has forced to happen is the elimination of the value of a single. It has taken away some of the speed aspects of the game- now it is all about bat angles and non-hustle doubles and home runs. I think removing the pre-pitch shift will add speed and movement back in the game. Once the pitch is thrown a player can move wherever he wants to.

The game is changing as we watch and has been since its beginnings. I’ll use Kyle Seager as today’s example. Seager couldn’t hit the other way. Everyone knew it and every team shifted their defense when he came up. Seager attempted to hit the other way but couldn’t so he tried to hit more home runs which he did but it wasn’t enough to sustain his career and salary. His replacement, Eugenio Suarez, has better power numbers and sometimes goes the other way. We will see.

... and to think that other teams will not try to intercept the call (looking at you, NY Yankees) seems a little naive.

I know people that have been making that bet for the last twenty plus years. If it doesn’t happen soon they won’t be able to make their money back.
I think the line about 2007 was... There is no line we feel guilty taking your money.
Are you not enjoying the college baseball drama?

Yeah, I saw it. Kid can run. He didn’t kick it into high until he was half way to second.
Another thing about last night’s game…evening baseball. Had to get the TV tray out along with the vice and some hooks, feathers and stuff to tie flies. I love tying flies while watching baseball.
The moment Julio got the call up to the bigs. Pretty cool.
Listened to the Royals - Mariners game the other day - this kid is gonna be a star, much like Bobby Witt Jr., has all the tools.
Cheers
