Terry Francona posted his regrets for the ban on shifts...and, as much as I dislike them...the disconnect is that hitters have not, and will never, adjust to those shifts and hit the ball the other way.
Those days are gone bye-bye.
Supposedly, the idea behind these changes is to speed up the game and thereby hoping to add excitement.
Instead, batting averages and on-base percentages will continue to drop at a faster and faster rate.

'Damn the Triples, full PULL ahead!
Why not make second base out of whoopie-cushions? Great for head-first slides.
