yah, but that was before the media let the Astros know that talking about it was wrong.
What do you mean the media let the astros know tlaking about it was wrong?
1. Osuna beats up girlfriend.
2. Astros hire Osuna.
3. Taubman makes comment to media making light of Osuna beating up girlfriend.
4. Media says that's wrong.
5. Astros fire Taubman for making light of Osuna beating up girlfriend, but not Osuna for actually beating up girlfriend.

Right, what Taubman did was incredibly stupid and wrong and the Astros made it worse by acting like SI had story wrong.

Would they have fired him if Astros were up 2-0?

Did he cheer for domestic violence? No, you say? Then firing him was a gutless move to appease some SJW. I'd go so far to argue that even making a joke about domestic violence, while tasteless and depending on the audience, reckless, also does not rise to the level of firing offense for an assistant GM.

Actual, verified domestic violence (and not a he said/she said) should be a fireable offense for any member of the organization. Which as was already pointed out, apparently didn't bother the Astros enough to not to make the trade.
The story isn't that [DeSantis] "couldn't win" the primary. The story is that an overwhelming majority of our population is heinously stupid. 50% of them vote for communists. 75% of the remaining 50% vote for Trump, who cant win. When the majority of the opposition party insists on voting for an opposition candidate who can't win, you get exactly the government you deserve. - Well Endowed Ag

Springer should have been at 3rd on that last hit if he didn't loaf out of box....good chance he gets in on a sac fly


If Springer legs it out he is hung up between 1st and 2nd because Tucker was standing on 2nd tagging up.


If it's dropped Tucker can make it to 3rd easily, if it's caught Springer is out and doesn't matter.
Yep...he was full of crapola when he said he'd be out trying for 3rd...that he might have passed tucker...nope

He would have made it standing up...oh well

apparently it does to those that actually run a baseball team.


In just about ANY job, if you are an expendable employee and you embarrass your employer in what is supposed to be a celebratory moment, then tell them a false story that leads to your employer issuing an idiotic response, you are going to get canned.

Ending a sentence with a preposition is far more egregious.
