VIDEO: Fan Trolls Astros' Carlos Correa With Whistle and Gets Him to Embarrassingly Whiff
By Adam Weinrib
Can you remember all the way back to October 2019? It was a simpler time. We all suspected the Astros of cheating, but we couldn't prove it yet. It felt good! Well, back in the day, the Yankees accused Houston of relaying signs from their dugout by whistling to the batter, an assertion that then-manager AJ Hinch laughed at during a postgame press conference. Smash cut to March, and Hinch has been canned because of the very real cheating he did, and whole crowds at Spring Training are teaming up to ruin the Astros' lives. Check out this mid-pitch whistle that may or may not have throw off Carlos Correa en route to a strikeout.
Ahh, man! Aw, MAN! Sorry, sir. Wish the whistle had been more helpful to you! But remember what AJ Hinch told us -- the whistling isn't real. Never happened. It's all in your head.
The rest of the game went well for Correa too, though.
Oh, wait, no it didn't!
Let's contain the trolls to the playing field, though, 'Stros haters. No need to take them outside the lines.
A simple whistle would've sufficed. Clearly, it partially broke Carlos Correa.
