The shift is an embarrassment. Why even bother with athletes. Buncha fat guys could stand where you tell them and catch line drives hit directly at them.
It’s the equivalent to hockey letting a guy stand in front of the other team’s goalie when the puck is in his defensive zone. (In terms of ridiculous and obviously illegal positioning).
Sorry, you can’t do that. It’s illegal. Stand somewhere else.
You can shade guys left or right. That’s it. Make a goddamn play.
It isn’t going to do anything for the pace of play or offense.
It is going to make the game much more watchable.
Orlando Hudson made some horrific Jays teams fun because he’d do something interesting in the field every game.
