Shift

[vh2k6]

i think it was Adrian Gonzalez a few days ago that bunted for a base hit after being shifted a little bit (not as extreme as Ortiz or Bonds, but it was a pretty large shift).

SB Nation links to a very poorly worded Goold tweet which seems to indicate that the Cardinals will start emphasizing defensive shifts more in the minors.

How on earth did you remember there was a 2 page thread 7 years ago on the shift?

The search function! I remembered a long thread about the shift, searched, didn't find it (because it was originally about the Pittsburgh Pirates last year and mutated into talking about the shift), but found this one instead. And because I'm weird and like to avoid creating new threads if possible, I bumped this one.

I don't think I'll ever be able to unsee Pedroia catching that liner off of Beltran's bat in Game 6 next year. Never in my life seen a 2b in that spot, and it worked.

me and jim are seriously the only people on the face of the earth who don't know how to use the search function.

i always [expletive] up a search

Probably better to start a new topic

Either that, or learn to shift for ourselves.

No thank you!

Anyway, Cardinals: shifting. Maybe. Someday.
