    The Tigers just became my favorite team in the AL Central.

    He has a hill to climb given their .396 winning % in 2020. But I will be pulling for them (a little).

    Great to see Hinch back in the game. Too bad it had to be elsewhere. F#cking Manfred :mad:

    At least it's not an organization I hate.

    I'll be rooting for him. Feels weird but I'm happy he's back to the game. Should still be with us.

    He should add Cora & Beltran to the staff. Just because...

    FU** Manfred

    It will be amusing watching all these people from 2017 filter out through the league and be forgiven because they can help a new team. Yet the guys still on the Astros will be cheating pieces of s**t.

    I wish AJ nothing but the best, despite the fact that I do kinda blame him for losing us the World Series by pulling Zack Greinke too soon. That’s okay. I guess...

    Not surprising considering his suspension just ended. Only MLB jobs available are probably consulting.

    I was screaming for Cole at that point.
    Either one would have been better than what he did.
    Nevertheless, I'll always root for AJ as he brought home the WS title.

    I have visions of the crowd booming "A-J-HINCH, A-J-HINCH" chants during lineup intros, at the 7th inning stretch, and postgame...for 3 straight games.

    I believe the Angels/Marlins jobs are open.

    I could be wrong.

    Good. I knew he'd be snapped up as soon as he was back on the market. I wasn't entirely happy with how the Astros performed in the clutch in 2018 and 2019, but AJ is the legendary Astros manager and is only gone because of gratuitous injustice. I wish him the absolute best, and may Detroit finally burn to the ground if it treats him poorly.

    His interview a few weeks back probably eliminated any chance he's going to get another job in MLB.
