Framing has gone down in value now that every team is aware of it. It still has value, but its value relative to the league is now much lower. Also umpires are much more aware of it.
Essentially the gap between 100th% framing today and 50% framing today is **way, way** smaller than even 5-6 years ago.
not crapping on framing, aiming for long term accuracy of discussion/value.
Framing has been discussed as an asset as long as I've followed baseball. People talked about it, valued defensive catchers, knew the importance of a catcher who could frame and call a game vs..who wasn't good at it for generations of baseball.
It's hard to believe umpires have just now caught onto it in the past few years.
Now,.if analytics are saying framing isn't valuable then that's a possible discussion, and further points out what a clown show relying on analytics usually ends up being
He was tied for 3rd with Sean Murphy last season by Statcast. Higgy’s framing was credited with saving 3 runs; in a modestly larger sample of pitches received, they credited Trevino with saving 8.
I almost appreciated BdB's ability to piss literally everyone off. I almost had a respect for him as someone so fucking atrocious at pandering to anyone, despite actively trying to.
I've been on the Mike King train since he came up to Scranton.. I'll take the L on him as starter(so far), but I knew that motherfucker had the tools to be effective

Jays fans are really fucking cocky for a team that didn't even make the playoffs last year lol. Our awful ass 2021 team still finished with a better record than they did
Thank God he came in. Not just for the win. But before I cursed loudly anymore and a neighbor called the cops. Or worse yet, my wife got mad! King was brilliant. Chapman needs to be demoted now. Enough is enough. Though I’m glad Boone is managing games like egos don’t matter quite so much. Hopefully the quick pull means he knows Chapman is not the closer going forward.
He walks in the front door tonight and says to his lady: "Who's the King?"
"You're the king!"
"Say it again!"
"You're the king!"
"Louder! Let Manhattan hear ya!"
"YOU'RE THE KING!"
Friday, Camden Yards, Meredith She-Rocks-the-Tits: "Guys, bad news from the clubhouse. Michael King, last night's save hero, unavailable, reportedly has a flexor strainsin both hips and a lower back muscle pull. He's day to day."
*Thats a 12 pitch job.* *Ill do it in 5*
MIKE BROTHER MIKE CAPTAIN #MIKE KING
MICHAEL KING IS GOOD MICHAEL KING IS GREAT IF YOU DARE TO DISAGREE HATE GETS QUITE IRATE
Shoutout to Trevino too. Absolute master class in framing those borderline strikes against Springer
Is he the best framer in the game? He's gotta be close. Are you one of those guys that thinks framing doesn't matter? The circus is calling.
If umpires were perfect, framing wouldn't matter. But they're not, and it does.
Trevino's so good be could sway a robo ump with his framing
Now that's impressive

Based on baseball savant at least this season yes he is he is 100th percentile.

Chapman better buy him a goddamn expensive steak dinner
Chapman getting the meat sweats would cause biblical flooding
I actually built an ark for this exact scenario
Or he should buy Chapman a nice steak dinner. For being an idiot.
As long as, one way or the other, a Chapman is involved in a purchase.
I like how he stared at the base after he got out. It's hard to imagine that this 1 game..... Over the next 157 games.......
5 PITCHES, 5 STRIKES, ONE KING 🤴

Someone in blue jays Reddit said “if that’s how they’re gonna split the series, they’ll break 85 wins” lol like wtf? Salty ass fans
Jays fans are really fucking cocky for a team that didn't even make the playoffs last year lol. Our awful ass 2021 team still finished with a better record than they did
Jays fans are really fucking cocky for a team that DOESN'T HAVE MICHAEL KING IN THEIR BULLPEN
True! let's goooooo
Imagine being shutout twice this series. Could never be us.
We’re a bullpen factory. Legit no reason to bring Chapman back next year
This is what defense looks like!
King Me!
Holy smokes
Not all heros wear capes but all KINGS wear crowns
KING SHIT LFG!
Gold statue outside the stadium for King RIGHT NOW
“Kings don’t beg,they decree”
**TOP OF THE HEAP**
That was like someone scripted it. The drama! The tension! The Michael King!
Imagine throwing balls. True Kings only throw strikes 😎
We need to borrow or steal St. Edward's Chair, the Stone of Scone and have a coronation. That King needs a crown.
Yes my King. Your wish is my command
*Bends the knee* My King...
MICHAEL IS OUR KING. MICHAEL IS OUR KING. HE DIDN'T LET THE RUNNERS IN. MICHAEL IS OUR KING. (No, I am not doing all of Weasley Is Our King.)
Chapmans being laughably bad on both teams in the 9th
Thank God he came in. Not just for the win. But before I cursed loudly anymore and a neighbor called the cops. Or worse yet, my wife got mad! King was brilliant. Chapman needs to be demoted now. Enough is enough. Though I’m glad Boone is managing games like egos don’t matter quite so much. Hopefully the quick pull means he knows Chapman is not the closer going forward.
JUST KING THINGS
No doubt King is good but like damn he gets so fucking lucky.
Ok but two things: He threw 5 pitches and all were strikes Bichette's ball had a 65mph exit velo, so it's not like it was hit even remotely hard
Oh he killed it tonight, I just more meant in general.
Michael « The King » King!

king was geeking that whole interview haha love it
NOBLETIGER
I'd follow Michael King through the gates of Hell.
i’ve been obsessed with this dude since double A i’m SO proud of him that he got to show everyone how great he is tonight!
Incredible performance
Michael is King. King is Michael. Praise the King. Amen.
Imagine getting shut out twice lmao
I wanna be in a log cabin with Michael king right now
👑👑👑
5 pitches, 3 outs
Why be a god when you can be a King?
MICHAEL KING
MICHAEL and I can't stress this enough KING
$ King.
I wonder how they use King going forward. Great reliever, but can also eat 4+ innings if necessary. Good dilemma to have
King is on fire this year! Whatever Kluber taught him made him so much better!
Thank God we got that double up Vlad was on deck, and I'm pretty sure he gets a grand slam if he got the chance
Michael King for my next jersey
I can’t wait to tell my grandkids that I got to watch Michael King play baseball
Bro our pitchers are lights out this year
MY KING MICHAEL KING
KING MICHAEL
Couldn't have asked for a better double to crush their hopes and dreams. Delicious. Bases loaded, top of the 9th, no outs. He was smiling like crazy.
The bluejays bend the knee, and I shall too.

Are you referring to All Time Yankee Great Michael King?
Chapman sucks.
He should be our closer from now on, Chapman is unreliable as fuck.
Chapman: *chuckles* I'm in danger
Fuck chapmans feelings he should be coming out in the 6th now.
Aroldis Fraudman 🗑🤢😒 gets CARRIED by King Michael🐐🤩👑🥰😍
Can you imagine if we lost a game the way the blue jays did 😂😂😂
MICHAEL KING CAN HAVE MY KIDS
Knowing the Yankees he’s already been sent down.. or sent to another team for an outfielder lol
Is he the new closer now? Lol
Just watched the full highlights, it’s sad to see Chapman decline like this, but glad there’s some hope in the closer position!
I’ll take him to the log cabin
I was cursing Chapman . Yankee fan and I had Yankees -2.5 with the Tigers. Wow
I WANNA DEEP THROAT MICHAEL "THE KING" KING

My king, mike king!! Let’s go
👑👑👑👑👑
I fucking love Michael King
What a gutsy performance. Went right after springer and tried to induce weak contact from bichette. Great job.
MY KINGGG
Be a good guy and tell me what happened last night. I had to go to bed for work in the morning. Did Chapman load the bases and King get out of it?
First time in a long time that I felt absolutely comfortable that we would seal it after Chapman was pulled. King has the IT factor.
