When the Astros started their ten game winning streak people on twitter and other social media started talking about what they would have to keep doing or continue not doing to keep the streak alive. Once a team starts winning you'll be hard-pressed to find a group of fans or players that don't have some superstitious thing that they are convinced is the reason the team is still winning or not winning. Whatever it takes to keep the streak alive, right?
There are some superstitions that are simply baseball tradition at this point, for example, not talking about a no-no while one is happening.
