In response to "If hitters would just do this more, the shift would end for them." by Inigo

If they get more than a single that might be enough for teams to shift less. Might.

Most teams would rather give up a hit than a HR so to them the shift makes sense and there's little that will stop them from doing it. But if guys bunt for doubles that might give them some pause.

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
