Bo Porter recently had a discussion with Lucas Harrell about why the Houston Astros position their defenders the way they do.
Harrell publicly expressed frustration with a couple balls that weren't caught in Tuesday night's game.
"Listen, if you have something to say, and you want to voice your opinion, I have a complete open-door policy," Porter recalled saying. "I didn't hear about Lucas' comments until I got to the ballpark."
Harrell said he had hoped a go-ahead double by Detroit's Andy Dirks might have been caught.
"We're trying some new things with our defense, and I thought they worked against me tonight," Harrell said after the game. "The ball that Dirks hit was up there forever, and I thought someone might have caught that one. He hit it hard, and that's my fault, but I was hoping someone would get there."
