Many Astros fans thought that after returning to another World Series in 2021, MLB fans and media would finally put the scandal that occurred 5 years ago behind them. Clearly, that was too much to ask, as national media members continue to bring up 2017 in every Houston broadcast, and Astros players that weren't even on the team that year get booed constantly.

Be sure to check out the video above to learn why this is still happening, and who actually deserves the blame for continuing to beat this dead horse in 2022.

ON SECOND THOUGHT

Here’s why Astros likely just gave Yuli the Correa treatment

The Astros have assigned left-handed reliever Matt Gage to minor league camp, which means Houston's pitching staff is likely to head into the season without a lefty in the bullpen.

Ronel Blanco and Seth Martinez are expected to be the last two pitchers in the Astros bullpen now that Gage isn't expected to fill a spot on the club. With the Astros playing so many games in the month of April, could we see Blanco or Martinez making some starts with Lance McCullers still on the shelf?

Plus, should the Astros check in on Yuli Gurriel for some depth considering his versatility and the loss of Jose Altuve for the first couple months of the season? Gurriel still hasn't been added to the Marlins 40-man roster, which means he can opt out of his deal on Saturday if nothing changes.

Based on how things played out for Carlos Correa, the guys aren't very confident the Astros would change their stance on Yuli. But you never know.

Be sure to check out the video above as we break it all down!
