Posted April 19, 200520 yr When Luis was thrown out last night, it appeared as if it was the shortstop who tagged him out but the play was scored 2-5 because when it happened, Delgado was at the plate and the Nats had the shift on so Vinny Castilla was over at short and was covering second even though the scoring would imply otherwise. Pretty unique tidbit.
April 19, 200520 yr Gotta love that damn shift. Once this year, when we really need that baserunner, I want to see Delgado bunt down the third base line. Now, I'm not saying every time, but just once, get in the other team's head...
April 19, 200520 yr If he dropped a bunt down successfully a few times, I think the shift would stop being used as much. They should give it a try.
