what in the actual fuck did he just say

He said he agreed with MLB, but he was going to take further steps than MLB penalties. Fired Hinch and Luhnow.

Have to give credit to Crane. He's taking full responsibility and wants to move the organization forward.

Here's the thing that makes me absolutely livid about this... Cheating happens all the time in baseball. At all levels. All levels. The MLB itself cheats the game by juicing the ball. Players juiced t

It's not the end, I agree. The Astros are still sacks of giant shit, though.  Shame on them.

Very sad to see that the Astros are basically dipshit cheaters from the top down. Hey, at least the Black Sox are happy that someone else is wearing their crown of infamy.

1) The loss of draft picks is by far the most consequential part of this. That is an excessive penalty. Boston better get something comparable.

2) So no impact on international signing ability? Hopefully this can partially offset the loss of draft picks (I know they can sign these guys anyway, but fuzzy about the spending caps, etc...is it possible to devote more resources to this for next couple of seasons?). 

3) What does suspending a GM even mean? He can't get paid or communicate with the FO? Lunhow going to use Cricket burner phones all season. 

4) Not too worried about Hinch being absent. It isn't good, but hardly catastrophic. 

5) How motherfucking great would it be to watch Manfred have to hand the trophy over to the Astros in October?

Points 3 and 4 just went out the fucking window.

My God our organizations is in tatters now. I fucking feel sick. I met Luhnow at alumni events and he was a great guy. Got to try on his championship ring and took pictures with the WS trophy with him. Fuck Crane for doing this. Best GM we ever had in any sport. Watch us get stuck with some Tim Purpura like clown instead.
