AJ Pierzynski and Erik Kratz React to Astros Hiring Brad Ausmus as Their New Manager

AJ Pierzynski and Erik Kratz react to the Houston Astros hiring Brad Ausmus as their new manager and debate whether the former Yankees bench coach deserves another opportunity after unsuccessful managerial stints with the Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Angels. AJ shares his personal experiences with Ausmus and explains why communication with players and the media could be critical to his success in Houston. The conversation also examines Astros fans' frustration with the decision, Jim Crane's continued influence over baseball operations and Jeff Bagwell's relationship with Ausmus. Plus, AJ and Erik question how much authority new general manager Randy Flores actually has after the Astros interviewed Ausmus before hiring their GM and what the decision means for the organization's future.
