I'm in St. Louis and went to the Cardinals game tonight. Matt Carpenter bunted against an extreme shift for a stand up double.

It was spectacular.

Yeah, you can't pull that extreme shift garbage in the home of Whiteyball. We'll slap it around all day. -- nm - Baron D. Chastain Jun 18, 06:02

  - If hitters would just do this more, the shift would end for them. - Inigo Jun 18, 05:24 4
    - If they get more than a single that might be enough for teams to shift less. Might. - Krusty Jun 18, 05:39 3
      - Even the best HR hitters are only gonna hit one every ten at bats. - Inigo Jun 18, 05:50 2
        
        The shift stops a lot of hits but my point is that when he bunts against the shift he's not trying to hit a HR and the other teams are happy -- (edited) - Krusty Jun 18, 06:29 1
        
        Again, that's BS. They're saying that for the hitter's ego. - Inigo Jun 18, 07:01
  - That was a thing of beauty -- nm - Flavorize Jun 17, 21:49
