Put whatever you want on it but, "AJ Hinch is a really bright guy and a really good guy." -- @DrewGoodman42 He stole signs in a sport that has a real problem with the sickness of doing anything--right or wrong--to win. But he's a really good guy so all's forgiven. Right Drew?

Thank you AJ Hinch.

It’s June 30th, 2023 and AJ Hinch is the worst manager in baseball.

pathetic rockies commentary sitting there defending aj hinch "hes a really good guy, he served his crime and moved on" "he won a championship, albeit a controversial one" yes, they literally cheated... fuck that guy he should not be back in baseball at all

So. JV's game vs. Det. He had to call his own game because...well, baseball. So AJ Hinch caught on, and boom, the next 2 guys hit HRs. It's a piece of data. There are more.

The AJ Hinch affect is cooking in Detroit.

Riley Greene is on the 10-day injured list with a stress fracture in his left fibula. AJ Hinch said there is no timetable for the Tigers outfielder’s return, and he will get a second opinion. https://t.co/70UyENVwCq
