Well f*** me. Texans blow a big lead and now the Astros news.
I thought the punishment would have been more in line with the Cardinals hacking, where someone actually broke the law and went to prison, but MLB rightfully pissed that this happened after the warning about the Red Sox apple watch cheating went out. So the Astros can't complain especially because so many knew about it.
Hinch has a reputation for being totally classy and he is the only one who had a mature response to the AGM's unacceptable behavior in the fall. Sounds like he made some attempts to stop this but ultimately, he let it continue. I'm disappointed.
Luhnow is one of the smartest people you will ever meet and is driven to win. His infamous "zero sum game" interview sure looks prophetic now. I'm not surprised he didn't try to stop this.
Jim Crane trying to look statesman like. I don't want to say too much other than I have no doubt he is doing what is best for Jim Crane. But I'm glad this is the action he took.
Be better Astros.
