SEATTLE — The booing has not relented. It remains as vicious as ever, particularly when the veterans associated with the sign-stealing scandal come to the plate. The hatred toward them has yet to subside, and likely won’t for some time. Can a grudge be held forever? Well, baseball fans are certainly going to try when it comes to their dislike of the Houston Astros.
Perhaps what stokes the animosity toward the Astros more than anything is their continued success even after the curtain was pulled back on their 2017-18 run, revealing a coordinated effort to find an advantage that will never allow baseball fans to look at trash cans the same.
Houston is still good.
