    Catcher framing involves being closer to plate so the ball has less time to break. This is what is leading to catchers getting hit by backswing and more catcher interferences.

    When it is all said and done, Jose Altuve will go down as the greatest Houston Astro ever.

    I don’t know if I’ve ever seen so many pitches down the middle and we can’t hammer them.
