“#Astros don’t get a pass from angry Yankees fans<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

There were some familiar sounds at Yankee Stadium early in the Bombers\u2019 7-3 win over the Astros.<\/p>\n

A roll call and a \u201cLet\u2019s Go Yankees\u201d chant each were heard briefly.<\/p>\n

But they were merely mixed into what the fans were really there for, as the hated Astros made their first trip<\/a> to The Bronx since their sign-stealing scheme became public.<\/p>\n

First came the boos for leadoff hitter Jose Altuve, followed shortly by \u201cF\u2013k Altuve,\u201d which quickly transformed into \u201cF\u2013k the Astros.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two batters later, Alex Bregman \u2014 after hearing a chant of \u201ca\u2013hole\u201d from the crowd that was still limited to 20 percent capacity due to COVID regulations \u2014 gave fans another reason to boo, taking Domingo German out into the seats in left with a home run.<\/p>\n

As soon as the gates opened for Tuesday\u2019s series<\/a> opener against Houston, Yankees fans who were deprived of a chance to go after the players last season, when the pandemic prevented fans \u2014 and the Astros \u2014 from coming to Yankee Stadium streamed in.<\/p>\n

The scandal cost manager A.J. Hinch and general<\/a> manager Jeff Luhnow their jobs and the Astros organization a fine and lost draft picks, but the players emerged unscathed due to immunity granted to them by commissioner Rob Manfred for their cooperation in MLB\u2019s investigation that ended in January 2020. That probe found the Astros had used an illegal electronic sign-stealing scheme during their 2017 World Series victory.<\/p>\n

There was nothing the league could do about the fans Tuesday.<\/p>\n

David Taub, wearing a \u201cTrashstros\u201d t-shirt and a garbage can hanging from his waist to his ankles said, \u201cWe waited two years to do this. \u2026 We are not going to let them loose now.\u201d<\/p>\n

And the fans didn\u2019t wait for the game<\/a> to start to go after the Astros, jeering throughout Houston\u2019s batting practice, saving their loudest boos for Altuve.<\/p>\n

They chanted \u201cHouston Cheaters\u201d and \u201cYou\u2019re a cheater\u201d as the Astros warmed up \u2014 all while cheering German as he walked to the bullpen prior to his start, waving his arms to encourage the crowd.<\/p>\n

The lead-up to the series led to many questions of both the Yankees and Astros about what was justified and what wasn\u2019t, particularly because most of the guilty parties aren\u2019t in Houston anymore.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not my place to tell fans how to react,\u2019\u2019 Aaron Boone said before Tuesday\u2019s game. \u201cI know we have as passionate a fan base as there is in our sport and I\u2019m sure they\u2019re aware a very good team is coming in to play us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prior to the series, like Boone, most of the Astros tried to downplay the significance of recent history on this year\u2019s teams.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese guys are big boys,\u2019\u2019 current Houston manager Dusty Baker said. \u201cThey\u2019re men. To address it wouldn\u2019t do any good. You don\u2019t want to have them fearful or app<\/a>rehensive of something that may not happen. There\u2019s no way to really prepare for this except to go out and play. \u2026 You have to try to play the same game here that you play elsewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the fans weren\u2019t interested in that.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure it\u2019s been very heavy in a lot of ways over the last couple years,\u2019\u2019 Boone said of the weight the Astros\u2019 players have carried since the scandal. \u201cA lot of times, if you make the bed , you\u2019ve got to live with it. I\u2019m sure there\u2019s been some challenges for them over the past couple years.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Astros entered the game having played better on the road than at home, with an 8-6 record away from Houston and 7-7 at home.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
