Asche Demotion Adds Context to Dom Brown Saga

Two weeks ago, Dom Brown came off the disabled list and was immediately sent on a rush hour drive along the smooth-sailing Northeast Extension to toil in Lehigh Valley against inferior competition. At the time, I wrote that the move was irresponsible at best and punitive or vindictive for crimes unknown at worst.

Then, the situation heated up when Dom went on a 24 hour bender and didn't show up to Lehigh Valley in time. #DOMWATCH began and the internet was fun. We even sought counsel from a Russian mystic. We were all lost, frustrated, and seeking answers.
