AJ Hinch suspended for entire season?

[rtp]

Yep...and I’m glad. Cut ties and reboot everything and start fresh. If they had stayed, in the future everyone would have always wondered if it was still going on

^^^Yep^^^

From the ESPN article:

The league discipline is among the harshest ever delivered by a commissioner, with Luhnow and Hinch banned until the day after the final game of the 2020 World Series despite neither having involvement with the scheme -- and Hinch twice trying to damage the monitor used as a show of protest.

But he didn't stop it.....


Bull ****...

Show of protest???? Good grief.

Ignorant.

I'm sorry, I forgot to put the after my attempt at a joke.

Carry on if you don't know how to spot one.

Yeah, maybe it wasn't his idea - and he MAY not have liked it - but it was within his power to stop it and he didn't, so GUILTY!

It's been a rough couple of days for Houston sports.

This story is likely to continue - from the Sports Illustrated coverage:

"the investigation, which lasted three months and included more than 70,000 e-mails and 60 interviews, said various Astros personnel told MLB investigators about eight other teams who used technology to steal signs in 2017 or 2018–such was the culture of the time."

Hinch was let go from the Astros. I wonder if he will be hired back after the suspension?

[captainsling]

Lol!

That's not what the mob wants to hear. This was well known to be a league wide problem. The Athletic had a good article about it last year. If I remember right there was a quote from a manager stating the whole league was electronically stealing signs.
