If you thought a delayed start to the 2020 season would work in the Houston Astros favor, think again.
Reds pitcher Trevor Bauer has been very vocal about his thoughts on the Houston Astros punishment handed down by Major League Baseball this offseason. The Reds right-hander had been taking shots at the Astros even before Fiers blew the whistle in November. In his latest round of jabs, Bauer posted an old Little League photo with a pretty direct message.
#TBTto a time when the Astros didn’t have to cheat to win...(oh, and there’s already a trash can in the background 👀)
A few weeks ago, Bauer got fellow MLB players together for the pickup game which appeared to be played with plastic bats and no fans because of the social distancing rule put in place. Even with all this going on right now, the baseball players that participated still found time to make fun of the Houston Astros.
Regardless of this time away from baseball, this is a reminder that when the season starts, players won't forget everything that went on this offseason.
