and they give him an error. 2 runs score. With all the shifting and strange defensive alignments I would prefer the official scorers to be more forgiving of players playing out of position. I would also prefer Bird to have been credited with a hit and 2 RBI 4-3

Harrison looks like a clown in the field. He booted one earlier too that was scored a hit..

hauling one in at the wall.

to rob cutch of at least a double.

really not feeling him playing part-time.

May be the worst 40 HR hitter in the history of the game.

Hot garbage.

Judge is the best...well second best. ;)

in the history of sports. Dear god.

Just let Judge catch the ball coming in.

I hope these shifts either phase or are legislated out. 30 years of, "yup, thats through" is replaced by "wait, might have everyone plus the right fielder on the second base side of the bag."

called the ball a strike and the strike a ball.

every third pitch with cervelli jfc

I'm on the other side of this, although I respect your view. But the game of baseball is about 150 years old now, give and take. The reason that the shift was never used back in the "old days" is that the hitters would have taken it as a gimme and just hit the other way. I'm not in favor of changing the rules in baseball any more than I am in football, soccer or basketball. If you don't like the shift, just hit the other way. Ballplayers of an earlier era would have had a field day with the shift, and there's no reason the current ones can't either.

And I cant argue with you. Purely preference.
