AJ HINCH DOESN'T DESERVE A SECOND CHANCE

I'm not quite sure how you can be the manager of a new baseball team. Don't forget, his old team was not only caught cheating under his leadership, but they had an elaborate scheme to cheat using technology and garbage cans, and then when they got caught, they got slapped with a one season suspension, and the season was only 60 games. 

Then, after that, Hinch gets hired by the Tigers to manage once again. I'm sorry... AJ Hinch is trash and doesn't deserve a second chance.  He was in charge when the cheating went down for the Astros. He should be banned from the game, not for a season, but forever.

The New York Times writes:

"It may take years for the stigma of one of the most infamous cheating scandals in sports to fade from Hinch, the manager of the 2017 Astros team that was found to have cheated on its way to a championship. But less than 30 minutes after Hinch’s season-long suspension from Major League Baseball officially expired with the end of the World Series on Tuesday night, he had been contacted by Detroit.

And less than 72 hours after that, Ilitch introduced Hinch as the Tigers’ 39th manager during a news conference at Comerica Park on Friday.

“This is a man who had learned and grown from the experience,” Ilitch said, “and that resonated with me."

Detroit Tigers Chairman, Chris Ilitch has been fooled. Talk about desperation.

The Tigers need help, this is true, but Hinch is the wrong guy to do it. Meanwhile Bob Nightengale, probably the biggest apologist for all the cheaters in the Astros organization tries to spin it his way... probably to get more interviews with these losers down the road:

#Tigers GM Al Avila on A.J. Hinch: "There were some important conversations to have about A.J.’s time in Houston. Throughout that dialogue he was clearly remorseful and used that time to reflect on the situation, and we believe he will emerge as a better leader because of it.''

Give me a break Bob. You were once a well respected journalist. You picked the wrong side and lost alot of integrity. Speaking of integrity.

Larry Brown Sports writes:

"Hinch also spoke about the sign-stealing scheme and being suspended for the entire 2020 season. He said his focus going forward is on “integrity and honesty.”

But isn't that always the strategy as like... a human being? This guy is full of shit.

I'm sorry... Hinch? Cora? The Houston Astros team? They're all a bunch of pompous, arrogant pricks. And the worst part? Rob Manfred tried to make it go away because it didn't want the scandal to be the highlight of his reign as commissioner. But me, a true baseball fan DOES NOT FORGET.

Hinch doesn't deserve a second chance. He's a piece of crap and the worst part for the innocent Tigers is now they're tainted just by association.

Whatever... baseball's gone downhill and it's time for a new commissioner with some balls.
