Great post! I’m not an Astros fan (though I was rooting for Dusty to get his ring), but even before 2017 I had gotten weary of all the hypocritical hand-wringing over violations of rules that, when looked at objectively, are not all that important. I was actually far more upset about the Astros front office guy who in 2019 essentially taunted some female reporters over the signing of Roberto Osuna, who had been suspended over domestic violence accusations, after which the team demonized the reporter who wrote about the incident. But that guy and his boss are now gone.
