Astros Manager AJ Hinch Thinks Worries About Pitch-Tipping Are 'Kind of Funny'

Houston Astros manager AJ Hinch is amused at concerns about his team benefitting from the opposition tipping their pitches in this postseason.

"I think it's kind of funny," Hinch said, per ESPN.com.

The ESPN report explained there has been "chatter" that Houston was able to discern pitch tipping from Tampa Bay Rays starter Tyler Glasnow and New York Yankees starters James Paxton and Luis Severino. However, strictly discovering patterns and tells from the opposing pitcher is not against MLB rules.

"If they don't want to tip their pitches, then they should take consideration into doing the same thing over and over again," Hinch said.
