[QUOTE="TownesVanZandt_rivals, post: 131692783, member: 1606648"] I don’t have an issue with the shifts. Baseball is all about percentages. Always has been for the most part but today people back up their thinking with data The shifts will continue until a player proves different. There are still players who make it difficult to shift on. But those players are rare. Baseball is a game of adjustments. What has people turning away is the difference with hitters. They are more disciplined today than they were before. Plate discipline leads to strike outs. Living in Houston I get to watch a team who rarely strikes out but also leads the league in foul balls Maybe it isn’t noticeable to me as it is others. But they are always hitting with two strikes. The difference to me are the hitters with two strikes who can control the plate still The Yankees have a few. I actually cannot stand Brett Gardner. Seems like he sees 9-10 pitches every time he is up [/QUOTE]
