Framber Valdez drama with Astros giving Angels fans Anthony Rendon flashbacks

If Framber Valdez actually did cross up his own catcher on purpose, then he has to be one of the worst teammates in baseball. For those who are unfamiliar, the Houston Astros' ace may or may not have purposely beamed his own catcher Cesar Salazar out of frustration. Both Valdez and Salazar claim that the catcher clicked "the wrong button" on PitchCom, which caused the southpaw to fire a 93 MPH heater into the backstop's chest protector. Now, whether or not Valdez actually did plunk his own catcher, many people have pointed out that Valdez's complete lack of remorse for the cross up is a gigantic showing of disrespect.
