After listening to the ramblings of Astros’ owner Jim Crane on Thursday morning, two things are abundantly clear. First, the man is ignorant to the point that he believes his lies. And second, we (Yankees fans) should never expect anyone still associated with Houston to say or do the right thing.
In what came off as a hallow attempt to appease the baseball world, the Astros trotted out 2017 AL MVP Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman, owner Jim Crane, and new manager Dusty Baker to speak about the sign-stealing scandal as quick and indirect as humanly possible.
