Luhnow probably is reframing the circumstances of his departure to facilitate a new job. It’s narrative rehab
I still wish it would be the Astros after one more year of cooling off.

I agree. Why not? If he is allowed to manage again in the MLs, why not in Houston.
He’s paid his penance. And Dusty was always, I believe, an interim hire.
Ultimately, Hinch may feel like he needs a total change of scenery.
Why not? Because if I was Hinch, I’d say, “Because fuck Crane, that’s why!”

Exactly. Why the fuck would Hinch ever want to work for the Astros again, after the way they treated him?

I think baseball lifers in general wanted him to go down and were gleeful when he did.
I’ll believe he did not know right after I believe that Germans did not know Jews were being rounded up and exterminated by their Nazi leaders.
Well, that escalated quickly.

Seems to me to flow inexorably from one to another.
In a sense it does seem plausible that he would have created an organizational atmosphere that would cheat and then keep him out of the loop. And that’s obviously what his position is. And I was prepared to believe him until I remembered that we have always known he is an inveterate liar.
Except for the fact that he built one of the best teams of this generation.
Those things have little to do with one another.
Thank you, Godwin’s law.
Fixed.

You could argue that, Buford. But if you fired all baseball execs for this, MLB probably wouldn’t have any front offices.
I’m not ashamed at all, and you shouldn’t be, either.
Lying and being woefully inadequate? As well as disregarding the commissioner? Your hyperbole is boiling over.
I don’t think hyperbole means what you want it to mean. I’m here to defend my Astros and everyone who’s part of the organization. I think your trolling needs to fuck off.

I meant it exactly how I typed it and it’s exactly what you engaged in so you can eat a dick. The only person I see you defending is Luhnow.
You pop culture reference guys are way out of my league, and I often have to look things up as I have done twice today. I think you are misusing Godwin’s Law, as its creator warned folks would do.
