SnakePit Round Table: Astrogate

Jack: Not Houston specifically. I’d already soured on the organization in general. However I have defended AJ Hinch through the Taubman scandal/firing. But in this case, I can’t defend him at all. He was dismissive in a condescending way when this possibility was first raised, and now he has egg on his face. Of course he knew, certainly allowed it, and probably had some involvement in coordinating it. The fact that other teams are probably cheating does not mitigate the offense here. Bad form AJ.

Makakilo: Yes. Recently, their culture was revealed in an unfavorable light.
