automated balls& strikes takes away framing?

That's a gotdam shame.   Just call the fucking pitch.

I think the Astros staff will somehow come through it ok...what with the absence of the bullshit pity calls by HPUs bestowing mercy upon opposing batters.

Nothing better than a good framing performance by a catcher.

Alright . I’ve bitched about posters bitching about the announcers.

but Brian just said he hopes we don’t go to robot umps because he wants catcher’s to still be able to fool umps with framing?!?!

gtfo 

A lot of the sabrmetric types love that shit too.  As teams have become aware of it and started to track and teach framing, the gap between the best and worst in the league has narrowed a lot.

Rizzo digs in on the stripe of the batters box and gets accolades for getting HPB;  and Loaisiga pitches with run a foot inside the plate.

At a certain point you park on the plate, no?

Yes. Every Astros that came to the plate would have been hit by a pitch in that inning.

He’s throwing 100. The part of the order you’d consider doing that with just went down. I’m not getting anybody hit in the hand up 3-0.
