And it worked…kind of.
They got the ground ball, just not the double play. But count 'em guys, 4 players on the right side of the infield, including centerfielder Andre Ethier. Just a new twist on the infield shift that has taken over the league.
My question is when will teams just do away with the traditional infield and outfield? At some point a team is just going to go out there in the first inning with 5 outfielders and three infielders, a pitcher and no catcher, just to see what the umpires rule.
Mindfuck city if you ask me.
