The « Astros Hate Tour, » which took over the league in 2020, appears to have moved into the 2021 season.
Last year, the Houston franchise became the # 1 enemy in the MLB after being defeated during their 2017 World Series winning season convicted of electronic sign theft. The news was spread shortly before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, which ultimately saved the Astros from an inevitable cascade of boos during the fanless regular season.
The ashamed champions traveled to Oakland for their first game of the season and kicked against rival Athletics. With the Houston transgressions still fresh in the minds of opposing MLB fans, the Astros were once again greeted with relentless incidents.
Second star baseman Jose Altuve, the centerpiece of the 2017 World Series team, took the brunt the athletics boos.

Altuve became a major topic of conversation in the scandal investigation after a strange video from Game 6 of the American League Championship Series came to light.
With a 4-4 tie in the ninth Inning against the New York Yankees, the MVP of the 2017 league was ahead with two balls and one hit against the closer Aroldis Chapman. In a situation that usually indicates an incoming fast ball, Altuve was swinging a slider at 84 mph. The Astros were promoted to the World Series with a homerun shot across the midfield wall.
When Altuve took third place at a trot, he seemed to be warning his teammates NOT to tear off his jersey. Although it has not yet been confirmed, there is suspicion that the second baseman was wearing a buzzer indicating the pitch type under his uniform.
Jose Altuve signals his teammates NOT to tear his jersey off in celebration as it « allegedly « would reveal a buzzer that would go off if triggered by someone on the Astros video team.
The Astros was confirmed to be using midfield cameras to magnify the opposing catcher’s signals to the pitcher. The feed from this camera was connected to a monitor in the shelter, on which the players tapped a trash can with their bats – once or twice for a curveball or an off-speed pitch, zero for a fastball.
