About a week ago, Jon Weisman sent out a tweet from the Dodger Insider account talking about how shifts aren’t as hot a topic among fans or the media this year in regards to the Dodgers.
Watching 3B Justin Turner field a ball hit right at him in short RF, I feel complaints about shifting have really diminished, which is good.

I noticed the same, and I made an off-hand comment about how new third base/infield coach Chris Woodward seems to have had more success with his shifts than the previous regime did.
