The shortened, fan-less season last year spared the Houston Astros from national ridicule at ballparks, but Angels fans are trying to make up for things this year.
The Angels faced the Astros on Monday and came back to win 7-6. During the game, Angels fans trolled the Astros with trash cans.
At first it started with a real one in right field:

Then someone threw an inflatable trash can on the field:

The Astros were confirmed to have cheated in the 2017 season by banging a trash can to communicate pitch types during at-bats. You can see here what the setup looked like.
The Angels fans’ efforts weren’t too far off from what the Astros’ setup actually looked like.
The Houston Astros are confirmed cheaters and deserve an asterisk. Send that message by wearing our Houston Asterisks T-shirt! You can buy it here:
