    The optics looked really bad. Jim Crane should do himself a favor and stay away from microphones for the rest of his life. 

    lol.  He can't help himself.

    I hope the press continues to put a microphone in his face all season.  I do think he was in the dark on much of this, but the more he keeps throwing Luhnow/Hinch/Beltran/Cora under the bus, the more likely someone (one of them?) will get fed up and cop to another method of cheating (buzzers, bullpen coach, etc) just to spite that arrogant prick.

    This is why Manfred is such a twat,..   

    He basically gave the Astros an out.. Manfred's "investigation" is going to be a shield the Astros will use to deflect criticism all year.   Even more revolting was Crane attempting to use MLB's decision to give the players immunity to argue that MLB didn't feel the players needed to be punished.   I mean, that may fly when talking to morons but every baseball fan with the slightest clue knew the sole reason for that was to avoid a head to head battle with the MLBPA... 

    I've felt Manfred was a POS commish for a while but his handling of this mess, the gag order... etc etc..   Dude is the worst.

    I like how Altuve will not flat out say he didn't wear a buzzer.  Dances around it, and refers to the investigation.

    he's guilty as fuck.

    Altuve, on his behavior after the ALCS walkoff:

    “It’s not the first time I’ve done that,” Altuve said. “If we go back and back, I’ve done that multiple times. That doesn’t mean I have a buzzer. MLB did their investigation and they didn’t find anything. They found what they found in 2017, a really good investigation obviously. They did an investigation on the buzzer and didn’t find anything. When you say you don’t believe I had a buzzer, you don’t believe what MLB investigated.”

    Uh, that's precisely what the rest of the baseball world believes, Jose.
