Houston Astros former manager, A.J. Hinch, has admitted that their sign stealing scandal was wrong, but stopped well short of coming clean.
Houston Astros A.J. Hinch Admits Sign Cheating Scandal But Still Lying About Use of Electronic Devices In Cheating
A.J. Hinch admitts to the worst cheating scandal in MLB history, but is still lying about how they cheated using personally-worn electronic devices that buzzed to alert the hitter to specific upcoming pitches.
The niece of former MLB superstar Carlos Beltran busted the Houston Astros with the details about how Houston Astros MLB players Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman wore buzzing devices underneath their uniforms, which were used to alert their hitters, and give the hitters an unfair advantage against the pitcher.
I and millions of other Americans believe with 100% certainty that the Astros and Red Sox cheated using wearable electronic devices, and no bullshit lies about a so-called “MLB investigation” will change any of our minds. The only thing that will fix this is by applying the proper amount of punishment to the cheaters who have badly damaged Major League Baseball – BANNISHMENT!
ALL MLB PLAYERS WHO CHEAT, INCLUDING EVERY SINGLE THE ASTROS & RED SOX CHEATER, SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY BANNED FROM THE MLB FOR LIFE – NOTHING ELSE IS GOOD ENOUGH!
Former Houston Astros manager A.J. Hinch has admitted that the team’s sign-stealing scandal was “wrong,” but his admissions only went up to a point.
During an interview with the MLB Network on Friday, Hinch admitted that the sign-stealing scheme was wrong. However, when responding to a question about the electronic devices, Hinch referred to the MLB investigation that did not find evidence that such devices were used.
“We got investigated for three months,” he told the network. “The Commissioner’s Office did as thorough of an investigation as anyone could imagine was possible. I know you mentioned about the emails and the texts and the messages, and I believe it.”
Hinch added that the league “explored wearable devices during the investigation but found no evidence to substantiate it.”
Last year, the former Astros pitcher Mike Fiers accused the team of operating a sign-stealing system using cameras mounted inside the stadium during the MLB 2017 season. But others wondered if the monitoring began before that. Some noted that after Jose Altuve’s game-winning homer off the Yankees’ Aroldis Chapman in Game 6 of last year’s ALCS, the Astros second baseman shied from allowing teammates rip his jersey off on the field in celebration.
Many jumped to the conclusion that Altuve was wearing one of those buzzing devices under his jersey even as late as 2019, and he did not want it exposed.
After the league’s investigation, the league suspended both Hinch and General Manager Jeff Luhnow for a year, but then the team fired them in January.
Hinch admitted to failing as a leader during the scandal.
“I should have had a meeting and addressed it face forward and really ended it,” Hinch insisted. “Leadership, to me, is often about what you preach. Leadership’s also about what you tolerate. I tolerated too much. … Right is right and wrong is wrong, and we were wrong.”
