The Houston Astros are winning again, in almost exactly the same way they did in 2017
The Houston Astros’ sign-stealing scandal not only devalued their championship in 2017—For years, the Astros’ lineup practically broke baseball,without the barrage of strikeouts that almost always accompanies that kind of power. It defied all logic, until details emerged of the Astros’ scheme to bang on a trash can to relay catchers’ signals in real time and provided a simple explanation: The Astros succeeded at the plate because they knew what was coming.
But now it’s 2021, and plenty of new safeguards are in place around the league to prevent that sort of cheating from happening again. General manager Jeff Luhnow is gone. Manager A.J. Hinch, bench coach Alex Cora and many of the players from the offending Astros squad are gone, too.The Astros are once again challenging for the best record in the American League and are serious World Series contenders, even with ace pitcher Justin Verlander missing the entire season because of an elbow injury.
