Houston PR vs. the media

The dilemma for the Astros is that obviously they are all glad they got Osuna. They needed him.

Instead, they are going to make this untoward event the story of their World Series. Great going, PR department!!!

I do wish the original SI piece had just been a news story. By making it a commentary - and tying it to systemic issues - the piece had a framing aspect to it, instead of letting readers figure it out on their own.
