The infield shift has been banned for about 1 1/2 seasons and the results are that left handed hitters have had some benefit mostly at the expense of right handed hitters. Baseball batting averages are still among the lowest in MLB history.  Watching teams struggle to get hits and score runs can be a chore.  Pitcher injuries continue to blossom.  Can anything be done about it? 

We discuss some weird but intriguing considerations to help create more offense in baseball. 

Luis Arraez played for the Marlins last season and part of this season - not the Twins.  Tyrod Taylor is a NY Jet quarterback, Tyrone Taylor is a Mets outfielder.
