AJ Hinch, Jeff Luhnow suspensions fulfilled in 2020 even if season canceled

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/28985240/aj-hinch-jeff-luhnow-suspensions-fulfilled-2020-even-season-canceled

Quote:
Former Houston Astros manager AJ Hinch and ex-Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow will fulfill their one-season suspensions for the team's sign-stealing scandal even if no baseball is played in 2020, sources told ESPN's Buster Olney on Thursday.

...

Sources told Olney that, because the suspensions are tied to the end of the 2020 postseason rather than a specific number of games, MLB will view Luhnow and Hinch as having served their discipline this year no matter what.

I've come around on the Dusty hiring, but this pisses me off all over again for some reason...

The Open has been canceled .... it's in mid July.

That does not bode well
"Scheduled for July 16-19 in Sandwich, England, the tournament will be canceled rather than postponed because the R&A can collect an insurance premium if it cancels by a certain date, according to Golf Digest."

If they don't play a single game this year, Hinch and Luhnow could reenter the fold in 2021 after a nice vacation.

I vote for Marvin. He has lengthy experience with the Astros and perspective. Of course, Ag07 could do it because he is good at posting TOFA.

I appreciate the love kind sir. You'd be on my short list too. Texags bromance.

Not sure I'd be a great candidate. My OP would probly be TLDR chock full of obscure, tangential analysis.

Mazag08 did it last year and I'd be fine giving him the job into perpetuity because he is gifted, but he said he wants to retire from the game and pave the way for a new generation.

A few months ago, Mazag08 posted that he'd pass the torch to CFTXAG10 if it was up to him. I'd be cool w that.

I mean.. I'll do it again. But I'll need contributions. And I don't think it can top last years, but we can try.

Questions I'd like to see addressed in the OP:

Did Hinch make the right call removing Greinke from g7?
Do we like Chander Rome?
Who should start in RF: Tucker or Reddick?
Is it really cheating if everyone else is doing it?

Also:

1) Did that b**** Carol Baskin alert The Athletic about the sign stealing before Mike Fiers?
2) If you had to be quarantined with only one Astros pitcher and one position player dead or alive, who would they be?
