Back in April–approximately ten years ago in pandemic time–the Rockies beat the Astros on back-to-back days at Coors Field, knocking in six runs each game for a pair of solid victories. Fast forward four months and Houston’s gents flipped the script on the Rockies to even the season series with two convincing victories.
There’s much to be said about the baseball that occurred (Jon Gray was good, the offense was terrible, etc.), but I’m here to look at a different issue: how people feel about the Astros as we get further and further away from their cheating scandal, exposed following the 2019 MLB season.
