Here's another thing, unrelated to the shift, since we have some baseball minds here........
Say an offense has decent runners on the corners with less than two outs. Runner at 1B takes off on the pitch. Upon seeing the catcher throw to 2B, shouldn't that runner on third automatically break for the plate?
You see it once in a while and it seems to always work. Ball's gotta go P to C to 2B and back to C. That should be enough time for anybody. I think Ryan Howard could make it. We should see this more often. Whether the first runner gets thrown out or not, you have a run.
