Wednesday Bird Droppings: Where maybe the Orioles don’t want to do everything the Astros way.

Good morning, Birdland!

When it rains it pours for the Houston Astros. The team is coming off of a World Series defeat during which they fired their assistant GM following a public relations disaster that included the team defending sexist actions and calling a journalist a liar. The Astros later walked back some of their behavior, but the damage had been done.

Now it is being reported that the Astros have been cheating and stealing opposing teams signs since at least 2017. The story isn’t ambiguous either. It quotes Mike Fiers, a former Astros pitcher, and spells out exactly what they were doing.
