Can somebody explain to me when you need 4 inches for a first down why do you hand the ball off on fourth down out of the shotgun 5 yards behind the line of scrimmage???

pretty stupid that they will outlaw the infield shift.
If you want to leave one half of the infield open, I'm going to slap one down the line for a single or better every time.
If i am unable to do that as a batter, that's on me.

I don't like the shift, but I don't think it should be banned. I have heard that one of the reasons the players association doesn't like it is that if a power hitter does what you describe above - it will affect his salary next contract. Batting average and speed take a backseat to power in today's game.

Chicks, and agents, dig the long ball

5 games for the Jays against TB this week, then a three game set against Baltimore and then 4 more vs. TB.

Jays could conceivably be well out of a playoff spot two weeks from now. Crazy stretch.

Congrats to US Open winner Carlos Alcaraz!

The Orioles are falling apart so they should be in good shape. I really though the Orioles bats would be good and the pitching awful. pretty much the opposite. Tough to lose a 1-0 game when you really need it.

For a guy who was born in Arizona and spent several years in St. Louis, that's a piss poor throw...
