Watching the Dodgers/Red Sox game (and if you're going to have a 4+ hour Sunday night game, it'll certainly involve the Red Sox!), the Dodgers 2B pulled out a card and appeared to be so engrossed in reading it he wasn't watching when the pitcher threw their first pitch to the new batter.
Is fielder's having cards a new development? Shifts are one thing, but asking fielders to think about which way hitters generally hit seems to be going too far.
