For those who stayed up and watched last night -- nitpicky, but don't understand the defensive alignment on the last batter.
Crawford isn't a burner, but he's not slow. Centerfielder and right fielder at their current depths would have zero chance of throwing him out on a sac fly.
Additionally, Polanco is a significant pull hitter and rarely goes oppo in the air.
Bases loaded, 1 out, winning run on 3rd you're pretty much completely up against it. Strikeout, popout or groundball that finds an infielder are your only hopes.
In that scenario I think you have to gamble and shift your left fielder to shallow center and play with two right fielders (no shift rules for outfielders).
Thoughts?
