Joey Gallo couldn't solve the Astros' ridiculous defensive shift

"BUNT!"

That had to be among the four-letter words Texas Rangers fans were screaming at Joey Gallo as he stepped to the plate over the weekend, with the Houston Astros employing a crazy defensive shift that featured just one person to the left of second base.

Marwin Gonzalez was out there in left-center field all alone.

But Houston's Justin Verlander got Gallo to ground into the shift, and Carlos Correa threw him out at first from short right field.

The Astros' shift on Joey Gallo is preposterous. Spoiler: He grounded into the shift. pic.
