The Astros have been a huge topic of converation after an article was published in The Athletic claiming that the Astros were using technology to steal signs in 2017.
Cheating is nothing new in baseball, and players have been trying to get an edge for as long as the game has been around.
ESPN 97.5's Joel Blank, Barry Laminack, and Raheel Ramzanali discuss how this accusation against the Astros compares to other cheating scandals in sports history.
In this episode, we dive into what's really going on with the Houston Astros' offense this season. The bats have gone cold, the vibes feel off, and fans aren’t feeling the same confidence we’ve had in recent years.
We break down the Astros’ offensive struggles, including Jose Altuve’s slump, the concern around Yordan Alvarez landing on the IL, and the ongoing controversy with Ronel Blanco’s starts.
Even with Joe Espada promising an offensive explosion, the results just haven’t shown up.
