Enjoyed it. Thanks.

Quote

Taubman runs the Astros’ “pro player scouting efforts,” among other endeavors, which notably involve next to no in-person scouting; the Astros have dismissed all of their pro scouts, trusting that work to technology and in-office analysts. This would seem to suit him: Before he joined the Astros, Taubman built a model to make money on fantasy baseball, plugging and playing day by day based on projected performance. After he joined the Astros, he said, he initially avoided the clubhouse to avoid developing emotional ties to players. (In retrospect, he should have continued to stay away.)

Doucheman should be fired and replaced with a computer program.

Taubman, a “competitive ping pong player,” said in an interview with Ernst & Young’s PR department in April 2019, “I feel like I don’t need a lot of hobbies outside of work because I’m so passionate about what I do and thankful for the fact that I get to work in baseball, a sport that I grew up absolutely loving. When I’m not working, I try to spend as much time as possible with my wife, who made the move across the country for me. And we have a baby on the way. So being a responsible family man is really important to me.”

“And we have a baby on the way.”

He’ll shit when he finds out Osuna is the father.

It’s funny that they would have been better off just literally not commenting at all.  
 

the only one that hasn’t been a complete embarrassment about it is Hinch. 

Hinch is a POS

I thought big announcements were not supposed to take place during the WS?

Were the rest of the people who swung and missed three different times on explaining it fired?

Too little too late.  Astros have become the most loathed team in baseball over the span of 3 days.

Impressive, really.

For that statement, Taubman should sue the Astros for wrongful termination since he really didn't violate the Astros ethics in any way.
