The Academy really screwed up with their nominations today
Probably. I don't see why Hinch/Luhnow will struggle to find jobs.So, will Hinch and Cora find jobs when their year is up?
yeah. i don't get how anyone can call this harshThe other thing is reading the beat writers, they're all saying it's so harsh. I don't think it's that bad. They get to get the World Series, no players got in trouble, and it's a minimal suspension for the front office. If I'm Hinch I trade the suspension for the ring...
the league was not going to suspend players. that would've set off a battle between the league and players union and it would've gotten messy
funny how pete rose was banned for life for betting on games but a team that cheats their way to a WS title gets a slap on the wrist
They’re done. I don’t think any franchise is going to want to employ cheaters who got caught red handedGlad this is over. I like everyone was expecting more. I along with other Astros fans are pissed that Hinch and especially Luhnow got fired. Will those 2 find jobs elsewhere? Or will they be blacklisted? I think Luhnow would be worth hiring.
Pretty much a nothingburger penalty. If I'm a team that's never won a World Series, I'm cheating hard from now on knowing you'll get to keep your championship.
Talk about passing the buck - good lord. I posted earlier in the thread that Hinch was sympathetic, but you can also find exceedingly arrogant video from him back in the playoffs when he was asked about it. And Cora is being set up to be run over with a bulldozer.
**** all of them.

I think the punishments are appropriate. You can’t make them vacate a title or anything crazy like that.
I like that the MLB hands out pretty severe punishments for things they don’t want in the game anymore. PEDs(once they actually started caring about it), domestic violence, the Cardinals hacking thing, this mess with the Astros. Other leagues hand out incredibly soft punishments by comparison(which is why the Pats continue to cheat every season).
Fining organizations that bring in millions every season doesn’t do anything. Taking draft picks, lengthy suspensions, and firings is how you get someone’s attention.
