How about this, instead of banning the shift you say two IFs have to be on either side of second base. After that, put `em where you want.
Okay, fine, what's your idea?

I wonder if Charlie Buffinton had a similar problem to Ty Wigginton, with people constantly calling him "Buffington".
Harvey Watkins managed the New York Giants for 35 games in 1895. Most of his career was spent managing the Barnum & Bailey Circus and the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show.
Charles Barrett was a long-time scout, mostly working for whatever team was employing Branch Rickey.
Minor Details: Games of June 12
Byron Buxton appears ready, at least at the plate. The Wind Surge wins in an extra inning. Wander Javier stays hot. Brent Headrick and two relievers lead the Mighty Mussels.
GAME 65: Astros @ Twins
Once again, the Twins split Friday and Saturday's games and so come into Sunday with a chance to win the series.
The all rookie outfield of Kirilloff-Gordon-Larnach pulled out a win last night. Today we get Refsnyder-Celestino-Larnach. Hopefully the revolving door slows its spin just a little bit going forward.
Pineda on the mound for the Twins, he's had two short stats starts in June, so the seven innings from Berrios last night are really nice.
June 13, 2021: Yes Sunday
Okay, pretty sure I've got this right today.

Jim Mutrie managed teams in New York for nine years. He has been called the founding father of baseball in New York City. He is the one who gave the Giants their nickname. The story is that whenever he was credit for the team's success, he would say, "It was my boys--my giants!--who did it."
Catcher Bill Bergen spent eleven seasons in the majors. He appeared in 947 games and had 3,028 at-bats. His lifetime stats are .170/.194/.201. Everything you read about him says he was a tremendous defensive catcher, and one assumes he must have been.
Dave Rosenfield was the general manager of the Tidewater/Norfolk Tides for over forty-five years.
Tom Cheek was the voice of the Toronto Blue Jays from 1977-2004.
Antonio Pulido was a closer in the Mexican League for many years, getting 197 saves. He also had 70 saves in the Mexican Pacific League.
We would like to wish a happy birthday to rpz.
