Although I don’t care at all about the base size. I heard an in-depth, way-too-long discussion about how it will help cut down on injuries and increase stolen bases.
But I like the strategy that comes with the shifts. Some guys are now beginning to figure out how to hit the opposite way…Jeff McNeil is the best example. He has a higher batting avg vs the shift.
The real thing they ought to get rid of is putting a guy on second in the tenth. That screws with the integrity of the game.
