Reply to "Holding Runner on 3B!!"

Yes i know this, it was rhetorical question. Although against most batters the hole left between first and second baseman in that situation is much easier to hit for a eighty than the hole between third and shortstop is for a lefty to hit (many mlb cant hit that hole that's why teams play the shift. Holding on 1st is also trying to keep runner from going to third. The half dozen or so situations where I have seen it or used was an attempt to keep a speedy runner locked on 3rd in possible game winning or tying situation.

BTW 20 years ago playing a shift was crazy.
