"Hit the ball where no one is". I have been told that hitters can't do that and that's why it's impossible to beat the shift.  

So much for "keep your lead shoulder tucked, and push the ball to the opposite field" ?

Or Rod Carew's "use the whole field" strategy

Stavenhagen's cohost really thinks analytics have debunked l/r platoon splits? Dude continues to be just clueless. Right down to his pronunciation of Detroit.

Was it an honest conversation or was it a poor attempt at playing devil's advocate?

Oh God, I hate it so much.

At least when James Mason said it, he had the excuse of being a haughty Brit lol

i prefer the canadian pronounciation:

de-troy-it.

If you can't pronounce the city North of Windsor Ont with 3 syllables, you have no business broadcasting Hockey in Canada.

Alright.  That's the literal tone that I took from it, but I guess I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

Well, at least they've gotten away from the date chatter.  Sort of.

An American broadcaster says Toe-ron-toe with very dry precise letter t's.  Canadian is a bit musher, a bit more Irish, and it comes out closer to Cheronto.  Same with Mawn-tree-all versus Munch-ree-all.

I just think of Don Cherry… “tronno”.
