It's the same with every scandal.
Those in charge claim plausible deniability, cast the blame on lower level employees, but spout off the typical "this happened on my watch so I accept responsibility". Garbage. AJ Hinch is a smart guy. Jeff Luhnow has always thought he was the smartest guy. It was the job for each of them to scrutinize every pitch and every at bat in every Astros game. Not only did they have first hand knowledge that the Astros were using electronics to steal signs and give the advantage to Astros hitters; they knew that they were gaining an edge because of it; so, they ensured that it would continue so they could receive the credit when the Astros won (which they reveled in). The fact that Astros went to those lengths to steal signs was lame, but the current attempt to throw it all on rogue lower employees is so predictable and ridiculous.
Hinch should say: I knew we were stealing signs, and knew it was giving us an edge, and as a result, the practice continued. All of our accomplishments are tainted, and I am to blame. Maybe, he gets on another MLB coaching staff in a couple of years.
Lunhow is too far gone in his own fantasy world for any legit contrition. The good thing is that his reputation in baseball already sucked before this; so, don't see him ever getting back in the game again.
