MLB The Show 20 Winks at Astros Scandal With Ironic Jose Altuve Rating

Since the severity of COVID-19 has been recognized by the nation, there hasn't really been any reason to take shots at the Houston Astros' sign-stealing scandal, which dominated headlines for what seemed like months before the outbreak.

Spring Training was the epicenter for such digs, but that, along with the MLB's regular season, have since been postponed.

Luckily enough for the fans who felt such relief watching Houston be lambasted on a daily basis, MLB the Show (get it at GameStop) is apparently still giving you a way to spread the vitriol. While this likely isn't what they intended, the game's rating for Jose Altuve is so ironic that it's hilarious.

You better believe that Altuve "performs better when playing at home." Need we remind you of the former AL MVP's glaring home and road splits from the 2017 postseason?

We seriously doubt there was any malicious intent behind the creators and game designers of MLB the Show, but it's impossible not to find the comedy in this.

It's also not the first time the 2020 edition of the popular game treated Astros haters to some needed laughs.

So long as there's no live baseball being played, you can count on MLB the Show to deliver some comedic relief at the Astros' expense.
