I'm actually not upset they fired Hinch because I think he choked away a dynasty.

Luhnow is a very different issue. He's easily the very best in the business.

Luhnow is a very different issue. He's easily the very best in the business.

Best at... cheating, getting caught or both?

Kinda surprised they let them keep the title. It’s tainted beyond repair now. This wasn’t just simple sign stealing like a lot of teams do. This was a real organized effort that went from top to bottom in the organization. Players are involved too.

Ben Maller has been banging the can for months for MLB to do this on his show. His segments covering this are entertaining since he's a Dodgers fan. His producer always tries to traumatize him with the banging sound of a trashcan.

Never liked Hinch - this clip is great. So much gloating... adios MF

Sheesh is what it is.

Shouldn't the owner been aware of this scandal while it was going on. He should be forced to sell his team much like Sterling had to sell his Clippers

 

[sammymvpknight]

Yep. I think many teams do it. So therefore, yes.

And...those teams also deserve to be punished.

Looking back, Bountygate could have been worse. The Saints could have become SMU, but they rebuilt in a relatively short amount of time.

The Sterling Scandal was different. Way different.

We can only speculate what was said behind the scenes, but most owners would have fired Payton and Loomis in 2012.
