    I think part of it has to do with Cintron being a coach. Not sure what words exactly were said but that too, was factored.

    Manfred clearly treating the length of suspensions as if it were a full season. Already set a precedent with Kelly. Not changing no matter what.

    Laureano was just as much of an instigator as cintron. That statement is rubbish.

    I wonder how many games Jeff Van Gundy would have gotten if it was him instead of Cintron as hitting coach...

    AJ Hinch is the solution.

    20 games just seems a 'bit insane. I 100 percent agree Cintron was an idiot during all of this.

    But let's play the game where the roles are reversed. An Astros player attacks a bench, breaking covid rules, because someone said something bad to him. Can you imagine twitter?

    "What, can't handle someone saying something nasty to you? lulz." Regardless of which team was involved, I just think 20 games in pretty crazy. That being said, many wanted Cintron gone, I guess they got their wish for 20 games lol
