Hinch is 41 yrs old almost the same age as paula patton. Hinch attended stanford and played catcher in the bigs, just like Jason castro.
If this isn't a ringing endorsement to can Hinch, I don't know what it is. I remember when Tennessee Vol fans laughed at me wanting to hire Brad Ausmus. They couldn't comprehend a coach without previous coaching experience. Then the Tigers hired him. With that being said, I think the Astros overachieved despite the coaching last year. I'm not much of a Hinch fan and think this team could be much better with a different manager.
Exactly And what some fans don't understand is Luhnow didn't want a traditional "baseball guy" he wanted someone who would be fine with a strong analytical approach
