Miami’s Luis Arráez Made the Rockies Look So Silly for Using a Shift Loophole
This was a laughable fail by the Rockies.
In this story:
Major League Baseball took big steps to eliminate defensive shifts from the game before the start this season but there are still ways teams can do it, which Colorado showed in Sunday’s loss to the Marlins.
And boy did this go terribly wrong for them.
With one out and the bases loaded in the bottom of the tenth, the Rockies brought their center fielder, Brenton Doyle, into the infield. The rule states that you must have two fielders on each side of second base, so this was totally legal.
It was also a total failure on their part, as Miami’s Luis Arráez hit a single to an unmanned right field to drive in the game’s winning run.
