Stephen Strasburg Trolls MLB Over Supposed Astros Bias in Nationals World Series Documentary
The Washington Nationals won the 2019 World Series and will be competing for the prize in 2020 now that Stephen Strasburg is back on a new deal.
Strasburg was the World Series MVP and his dominant performances helped the Nationals pull off the upset. Major League Baseball produced a documentary on the series and the MVP seemed to think the footage was a bit biased toward the Houston Astros.
Stephen Strasburg twice mentioned that the World Series documentary produced by MLB had a clear Astros angle. He laughed a bit while saying the producers figured Houston would win, and added that it was cool to see the heartbreak from the other side. Stone cold.

A documentary mainly focusing on the Astros would be sure to include plenty of excitement on that end, only for it all to end in tears and disappointment. That was a beautiful sight for Strasburg, who has clearly watched the documentary more than once.
Not many expected the Nationals to win the World Series, and Stephen Strasburg believes the producers of the World Series documentary fall into that category.https://t.co/HMjjvIodDl

Strasburg is a homegrown talent and has become both a fan favorite and a superstar in D.C. Comments like this will only increase his popularity. Going 2-0 in the World Series with 14 strikeouts also helps keep him loved by the fans.
For the Astros, this is the least worrisome video-related news of the offseason.
