They could Go with a very open language rule and Go with the “I’ll know it when I see it”
Let’s not pretend it isn’t easy to see the kind of shift they want out of baseball.
The obvious answer is to just stop play till they’re in the correct formations
What are teams gonna do? Refuse?

i despise the shift and think in a lot of ways it has ruined baseball. I think they should have to play traditional locations.

First offense is a warning. Second offense, the manager is ejected. Third offense, the out of position players are ejected.

Shifting has been going on for 100 years.

Does basketball tell the defense they can’t put all 5 defenders on the right side of the floor to make the dribbler go left?
Basketball does tell defenders where they can and cannot be
Lane violations, the arc under the rim, etc.

Defensive 3 second rule. Designed to keep defenses from camping in the paint.

Does football tell the defense they can’t run a nickel coverage, they have to play 4 DL, 3 LB, and 4 DBs?
No but offenses can’t put more than 5 players in the backfield.
It’s not like other sports don’t have rules designed to keep games Interesting.

How about a compromise? Each team gets two shifts per game. Use em then lose em
Posted on 3/7/22 at 12:50 pm to kjntgr
Because MLB leadership is dumb.

This would be the stupidest move ever in sports if they implement that. Because a player is unable to do adjust ( hit or bunt to one side or the other ) You are going to make a rule that defense cannot overload to the side where he hits the ball most of the time. This is stupid.

I don't comprehend why this would be banned. It's just good gamesmanship against players that are too inept to figure out how to beat it.

But if more guys COULD bunt or drag bunt would the analytics not change?
One thing the pro-analytics guys won't acknowledge (and I'm not anti-analytics. But you can't be so rigidly doctrinaire with them) is they become a self-sustaining metric. Analytics say to draft 3-outcome batters. Defense changes with the shift. Pro-analytics folks say, "Our team is built for this type ball. It would still be less productive to take what the defense gives us". So they keep forcing the round peg into an increasingly smaller round hole.

Banning the shift is retarded. Let hitters adjust naturally and learn how to bunt

Can we ban offspeed pitches? I woulda been a MLB hitter if pitchers couldn’t change speeds on me.
Someone tell Joey Gallo that if defenses can all line up on the right side of the field and take away his hits...he’s not good enough for MLB. Either adjust, or admit you aren’t good enough.

No it’s not.
The rule where you can only have 11 players
In the field is the exactly rule to rule comparison.
Also, idk what you mean by “there can only be 1 pitcher” you can sub in a new pitcher and I dont Think there is a rule about switching a fielder and pitcher and then switching them back.

Except for Basketball, an example you ignored in the post you replied to.

There isn't... but you do lose the DH if you do this.
MLB has rules about where the catcher and pitcher have to be on the field. The other 7 guys just have to be in fair territory.
You can't move someone behind the catcher to stop a passed ball if the winning run is on third, for instance.

Right so this would just be a change to that rule.

Not really, that rule would still be in effect. This would be a new rules dictating where defenders can and can't position themselves on the fair part of the field.
It's wholly unnecessary.

The shift is more like parking a player in the paint than man defense.
Resisting change that makes your game
More dynamic is fricking stupid.
