More fire keeps coming down on the Houston Astros. Their cheating scandal has been the hot take of the fall, but with spring training getting started, people don’t intend on slowing down the onslaught of comments towards coaches and players.
Other players around the league have made their comments known, saying the players deserve “beatdowns” and for their 2017 title to be stripped away. Of the scandal information known, the banging of the trash can is especially popular now with fans who wish to troll the team. Last week during an Astros batting practice, a fan drug a large trash bin behind the home plate fence and banged on it during every pitch thrown. The team used a trash can in the dugout to signal to hitters what pitch was coming. The number of hits on the can would tell the hitter what pitch was coming.
With opening day coming on March 26th, the Astros will see if they can focus on the year to come or if their past will continue to run with them.
