    Watching that last game against Texas Ichiro was getting some good wood on the ball. I figured he was probably ending that slump and he sure got a hell of a slump buster this evening.

    ...lol...standard positioning also gives and takes away base hits.

    ...the players' stubbornness is what caused the shift to be created...and the players will be the ones to cause it to be eliminated.

    There was a time not long ago that the shift was only used for the dead pull hitters that could actually hurt you. Not 200-220 hitters. Like I said the shift is WAY over used.

    ...I don't have to read it again...they don't have to be "dead pull hitters" for the shift to be effective. Is McCann a dead pull hitter?...no...is Ortiz a dead pull hitter?...no. How many examples do you need?
    ...offense is down throughout Baseball recently and the shift is the main reason.
    ...for about the 3rd time, there is no difference in depriving a .220 hitter of a hit anymore than there is depriving a .320 hitter of a hit...a hit is a hit and the less hits you allow, the better your chances of winning are...if you can't grasp this simple concept, I'm sorry, but it does not change the facts.
