What a Creep Season 5, Episode 4 The Houston Astros Here’s the pitch: In the 2017 season, the Houston Astros used TV cameras to steal signs from opposing team’s catchers, and communicate the signs to their hitters in real-time by banging on a trash can. It sounds kinda stupid, but it’s a big deal. The Houston Astros won the World Series in 2017, due in no small part to their cheating. We put this story together with a little help from our friends at  ESPN The Washington Post CNN Baseball Bits on YouTube Jomboy on YouTube The Athletic, which is the site that broke the story, and it’s written by Ken Rosenthal and Evan Drellich New York Times Wikipedia Be sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts and you will never miss an episode.  Also, be sure to follow us on social media!
