Astros manager Dusty Baker expressed his displeasure about fans in Oakland and Anaheim heckling the team in response to the sign-stealing scandal that unfurled before last season.
Since the pandemic forced Major League Baseball to play a truncated regular season without fans in 2020, the Astros have been the subject of relentless jeers and booing while opening the season on the road against the Athletics and Angels.
The heckling reached a fever pitch on Monday night in Anaheim when fans threw an inflatable trash can onto the warning track in right field while Jose Altuve was at-bat in the sixth inning.
