Amazed the cover stayed on that one. You don't see balls get crushed like that every day. Giancarlo Stanton who?
So, eventually these shifts are going to lead to batters adjusting their "normal" patterns of which the shifts were originally based on. I understand shifting some really heavy pull hitters... but it seems that teams are now shifting against everybody.
Would be nice to see Peacock get a quality outing here... hopefully he'll have a boost of adrenaline after getting Harrell's spot in the rotation.
Just a snakebit inning... Peacock actually looked good, but the defense failed him. Biggest mistake was Chapman walking the lefty.
