They lead the league in playing RH hitters directly right up the middle

With a runner on first there is an 70-80 foot gap wide open for any dribbler to get thru

Who sets this defense?

It’s a flawed alignment with a runner on first

They are too stupid to notice

I watch a lot of MLB games, when a runner is on first, most second baseman move over 10-15 feet to close the huge hole

Not the Cardinals, it has burned them repeatedly, they overshift on every hitter
