    No more defensive shifts

    Manfred looking into eliminating deceive shifts. Don't like the idea of a new guy coming in and feeling like he needs to do a bunch of tinkering

    I don't see how you could regulate it unless you actually tell players where they can't stand. Lol

    Second baseman crosses 2nd base before the pitch ump stops play and rewards the batter a ball in the pitch count.

    I don't see this happening, and I don't think it should.

    You mean shortstop? Just feels like you are giving hitters a pass for not knowing how to hit the ball the other way. You make a shift on Dead pull hitters for the same reason you throw a curveball to someone who can't hit a curveball. Attack weaknesses

    I wonder if Manfred would call it the "Ryan Howard Rule"
