Here is a small sample of how the Houston Astros (and the organization's actions) are being described in today's reporting.
a mixture of resentment and seething contempt ... flailing, dishonest, offensive ...
angry and defensive ... disingenuous ... boorish and insensitive ...
tone deaf ... stupid ... insulting ... demeaning ... false ...
arrogant and shameless ... a contemptible sort of nastinessGraham MacAree, SB Nation:
