    Gamel bunted for a hit against the shift.

    I wonder how good a hitter would have to be at bunting for hits to force teams out of the shift. When is the threat of a bunt single too great that they want the hitter to be swinging be a non-shifted infield.

    I have a feeling this may become more commonplace as a shift antidote. In that light, we may find out fairly quickly.

    That was a perfect AB. No DP, and made the pitcher make pitches

    96.7 EV, Launch angle 36º, estimated distance 355 feet

    He didn't come close to catching all of that one but it still left the yard. I'll take it.

    Man, I loved those late 80s braves teams with Horner, Murphy, Zane smith, Benedict, etc. I watched Sanford and son and braves like every night as a kid
