    Getting back to what I was talking about and this has nothing to do with Luhnow, why is Hinch so revered around here?

    Because he was a good manager that led some really good/young teams to early success… and then led veteran teams to more success.

    and now he’s doing it again for another organization.

    it’s not that hard.

    Avg manager who lead his team in Houston to disgrace.

    This isn't hard to understand.

    The only championship he won, cheating had to be involved for Hinch to get a ring. Uncomfortable fact.

    You do love your “facts”.

    just don’t embarrass yourself too much at the pretzel you’ve self created.

    Tell me what's not true about what I said? No need for pretzeling by me.

    You consistently leave out the facts that actually do matter when looking at managerial performance, or the basics of “team success” in baseball…. Or you’ll just only use the things that fit your narrative.

    It’s fine… and predictable… not the factors that make for a good discussion (or a good manager).

    So much hypocrisy.

    Sorry, can’t discuss these basics during football sundays…. Nor are you unbiased enough.

    I'm looking forward to you answering on Monday then.

    Maybe then we can figure out where we disagree.

    I'm watching the football game too, team looks unprepared IMHO.

    There are some fans who are deliberately ignorant to what was really happening, it's very weird when "astros fans' are like this, but there's a few of those out there who believe any garbage the media spews to them.

    This is complete horseshit and you should be ashamed of yourself.

    I hope you can understand that.

    So denouncing Crane and Luhnow while you are at since they are the ones that forced Cora and Beltran on Hinch?

    I believe what I wrote.

    Hinch hasn't won a championship that he didn't allow cheating in and you dont know me if you think I'm lead around by what the media tells us.

    Ya people can think/believe whatever they want about anything, that's life. If you think they cheated in a way that was beyond what the standard operating procedure was against every team they played that's fine. It's a lie, but again, it's fine.

    No need to get personal.

    Especially coming from a guy that claims to be of faith.
