I read an article today on baseball prospectus that indicated that "(Jose) Molina had a heck of a week, saving the Rays nine net strikes in only 22 innings." Maybe that's because the umpire was giving Alex Cobb strikes that were damn near four inches off the zone. Catcher framing seems like a giant crock of shit to me. It has as much to do with shitty umpiring as it does with the catcher's performance. Somebody, please explain to me how this is not a crock.
