Absolutely, Tank! The whole premise of baseball is adjustments, and the batters have given up their right to try and out-do a shift to GET A HIT (also the point of playing the game!) because to change their swing would “throw them off their rhythm.” Arrrgh! Forget going back to Wee Willie; Tony Gwynn would be shaking his head & laughing his way to hitting .400!
