Physical sports can be very intimidating sometimes, on and off the field. The same goes for baseball, which comes with many challenges. One is to get over the pressure from fans, especially when the majority is against you. A similar thing happened during the recent Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Houston Astros baseball game. The two teams have a historic rivalry, further intensified by the Astros’ 2017 World Series win.

Given that they accused the Astros of cheating by stealing signs during the game, the Dodgers fans have a disliking liking for the team from Houston. This was also seen during the second encounter of the latest series when second baseman Jose Altuve faced the heat from fans. Even though the game did not see many conflicts, this incident involving Altuve became the highlight of the entire episode!

Jose Altuve faces fresh criticism from the Los Angeles Dodgers fans!

Baseball fans are extreme when it comes to praise, but they show displeasure with similar energy. The same happened with Jose Altuve, who had unwarming reception when he came out to bat. FOX Sports MLB shared a video of the incident on Instagram. It read,” Altuve steps up to the plate. The scene at Dodger Stadium.”

It happened during the third innings of the game. Though unaffected by the criticism, Altuve did his job at the plate while finishing the game, averaging 0.600 with an RBI at an OPS of 1.200. But his effort fell short of guaranteeing his team the win as the Astros lost the game with a margin of one run.

The baseball community saw similar scenes in the 2017 World Series, but the Dodgers were on the receiving end. Apart from the closely contested games, the series was marked by the cheating controversy, which the Astros won with a score of 4-3.

Many years have passed, but the Dodgers and their fans still cannot forget the series. As Jose Altuve was part of the Astros squad that won the championship, he continues to face rejection from the Dodgers fanbase. The latest incident was another addition to it.

The controversial Astros win continues to follow them in the present

Even though the Astros won the World Series in 2017, the condition under which they became the winners continues to haunt them to date. It all started after accusations mounted on the Astros of using cameras and video monitors to steal signs of opposing catchers. Even though they denied using it, an investigation from MLB held them guilty.

The 2017 champions were fined by the league but held the title after no evidence confirmed that they stole signs during the postseason. But baseball fans, especially the Dodgers, don’t believe in it and still share unhappiness, which is unlikely to die soon. What do you make of this latest criticism of Altuve?
