If nothing else, Friday night’s (very) rain-soaked game between the Dodgers and San Diego Padres at a sold out Petco Park in downtown San Diego was “entertaining,” as Dodgers broadcaster Rick Monday called it. And even though the Dodgers would end up losing by a score of 5-4 in 10 innings, there were a number […]

If you are a fan of the defensive infield shifts currently being used by every team in Major League Baseball, you are: Definitely not a traditional old-school baseball fan.
