Or hit the ball the other way where the shift is not. what a concept!!!

Is this or any hitting philosophy a dogma that must be adhered to in every situation or else? If the situation comes up and you go against the philosophy because you’re better suited to make the adjustment to bring the run in. Will you be reprimanded by the staff? I know players would be fined for not bunting and swinging away for a homer because they missed the sign. Like Bob Robertson in the 1971 WS along with some other funny stories. But is it not up to the player to realize the situation and adjust himself?

MLBTR Reds Off-season Outlook article lists Casali as a non-tender possibility along with Goodwin and Bob Steve.
Probably won’t happen with Casali - but don’t be shocked if it does. RHH pre-arb Stephenson is ready replacement.
Non-tender deadline will be brutal with teams trying to save. Shift to younger, cheaper players where possible. Reds can save $5-7 million non-tendering those three based on arb projections.
