re: Red Sox use loophole in MLB shift rule

Teams are scoring less as offense is promoted.

I expect that to change this year with the new rules. Pitch clock, plus the shift ban is going to affect pitchers. I think we will see more 8-6 games than 2-0. Not saying it’s better or worse, but I think it’ll happen.

If it does, it sucks for pitchers in a contract year.
