As a Mariners fan, I don't think this is my reason for hating Astros lmao.

[jasonsun]

I don’t hate the Astros because they cheated. I hate the Astros because I’m a stereotypical Yankees fan.

One thing I'll never understand is how the Red Sox got off so easily in the public opinion.

In 2018, Mookie saw his offense SKYROCKET (genuinely an unbelievable jump in offensive output). He went from slashing .264/.344/.459 in 2017 to .346/.438/.640 in 2018. He had a 186 OPS+. His 2nd best OPS+ in his entire career is 147 in 2020.

Altuve went from a 2016 slash line of .338/.396/.531 to .346/.410/.547. That comes out to a measly increase in OPS+ from 155 to 160. Oh and he equalled that OPS+ in 2022.

Yet somehow, mookie is treated as one of baseball's golden boys while altuve was branded the face of the cheating scandal and became the most hated player in the league. It's mind boggling

As a phillies fan, I don't hate them for anything... I'm being for real, they been doing really good.

Seeing Joe Kelly mock the Astros was the best thing of all. He was acting like he didn’t come from the Red Sox who were doing the same thing😂

[lanceneidhardt]

A very interesting/odd stat from 2017 is the fact that the Astros had better stats in away games by a fairly good margin

[jonathanwhite]

Just curious, Do Yankee fans have an asterisk next to Judge's home run record because he was hitting a juiced baseball during his run?

[DHVF]

Any team that makes Yankees fans lose their shit is a team that has my support. They get bonus points for angering Philly fans too.

[kmartnw]

Maybe others can, but as an M's fan my hate will always be there

[michaelbaucom]

Until all the players/coaches from that team are retired/out of the game, there will be people still griping about this, and a few will always be griping about it. Human nature at work

[kingvoho]

I'm just tired of cheating in general. The people or Orgs never seem to be punished, and like you said, other teams were/are doing it. I do hate those teams, too. Cheating in sports just needs to be handled better and the punishments more severe.

[kylewakeboards]

any real baseball fan know that Altuve did not cheat.

[brendan]

I love how Joe Kelly was mocking the Astros acting as if he wasn’t on the Red Sox when they were literally doing the exact same thing in 2018. The Dodgers also got allegedly caught for cheating as well

[A.C.T]

I think people are still mad because no one really got punished.

[ranelgallardo]

I guarantee if people know the New England Patriots won 6 Super Bowl titles, you’ll have to know the Astros have 2 World Series titles despite scandals

[TheCybercoco]

Correction: Red Sox fired Cora during his MLB suspension then rehired him afterwards.

[j-mansamerc]

When you come at the king (BOS, NYY, LAD) best not miss. And Houston didn’t. Of course mlb collectively will hate them, they went through their biggest money making teams……😂

[noahdiamant]

Obviously everyone will always remember it, but the astros overall are just becoming a great organization and need to stop being hated on. Since 2017 they’ve lost Correa, springer, verlander, and cole. But are still considered as the best teams in baseball

[Wizpullz]

I’m a Pirates fan. I wish they cared about winning as much as an organization the Astros do. I respect the Astros more than I do the Pirates organization and so should you.

[RedHeadTakes]

Everyone has done what the Astros did in some way or another. The Astros were just figured out. Sign stealing has been and always will be a part of baseball. Yankees have definitely done it
