VIDEO: Fan Screams 'Curveball' and Ruins George Springer's At-Bat in Latest Astros Troll
By Michael Luciano
George Springer is one of several Houston Astros still getting jeered for the team's sign stealing, and St. Louis Cardinal fans might have invented one of the most creative troll jobs yet. A fan yelled out "Curveball!" before a pitch during Springer's second at-bat of the day. Springer might have been looking for a bender on this pitch, because he watched a Dakota Hudson fastball nip the inside corner for strike three, much to the joy of Cardinals fans in attendance.

And perhaps...now is not the best time to be caught doing THIS, H-Town.

Shame!
Cardinals fans in Spring Training aren't giving the Astros a moment of reprieve, and this is only going to pick up for Houston once the games start counting, and they play both division rivals and teams they beat in the postseason during the last few years.
