(This is also the first time I've seen a big league catcher wear a helmet with a backwards ball cap underneath. I don't watch that much baseball, so maybe this is the cool thing now. I dunno.)
Not for nothing but what does a low and outside pitch have to do with a foul ball straight back to an umpire in the slot?
