I lost everything and everyone due to Harvey and I don’t even watch baseball but this year I did and watching the hope and joy the astros brought back to Houston this year was amazing. I will forever remember this year for the pain and also the joy. Thank you astros years later and now at 22 I will forever thank you❤ Houston strong forever
No team in history has cheated like the 2017 Astros. The increase in OPS by the Houston Astros from 2016 to 2017: 1B Gurriel .677 -> .817; 2B Altuve .928 -> .957; SS Correa .811 -> .941; 3B Bregman .791 -> .827; LF Gonzalez .694 -> .907; CF Springer .815 -> .889; RF Reddick .749 -> .847; C McCann .748 -> .759. Utility Marisnick .588 - .815 That's an entire lineup with improved OPS from 2016 to 2017. Five of the nine players set career highs that they never topped. It's insane. Nothing like that has ever happened in MLB history. Cheating at such a high level that it isn't even baseball any more. It's some other game. By contrast, of the regular players on the 2018 Red Sox team, only three improved their OPS over the prior year - Bogaerts, Benintendi and Betts - and only Betts had the best year of his career. Six of the nine regular players actually decreased. The worst was in the World Series. Just one example, Kershaw threw 51 off speed pitches and the Astros swung and missed at ZERO of them. Someone ran a computer sim, and the odds of that happening were 128,061 to 1. So it would take 4266 years and it MIGHT happen again. Just absurd - why even play the game.
@@thatkidkirch Let's put these to bed. Easy one first. "Elite pitchng" is just incorrect. 2017 Team ERA+ was 99 - just below the league average. Only the hitting was elite, far, far above any other team, with five of the eight lineup players setting career records something that no other team in MLB history has done.
@@thatkidkirch Regarding the home-road dichotomy. You are starting from an early assumption - that the Astros must not have cheated on the road, because there were no trash can bangs detected in road games. The MLB Report, which everyone expected would reveal that the Astros cheated only at home, did not address the issue. The only factual finding of relevance was that the Astros cheated during the regular season and "throughout the Postseason" in 2017. img.mlbstatic.com/mlb-images/image/upload/mlb/cglrhmlrwwbkacty27l7.pdf In August of 2017, Kevin Goldstein, Astros Executive sent an email to their scouts to request ways in which they could steal signs from the crowd, rather than from a camera feed, which was an effort to refine their cheating away from Minute Maid (where they would not have needed such assistance because they were using the home camera). “One thing in specific we are looking for is picking up signs coming out of the dugout,” Goldstein wrote in the message. “What we are looking for is how much we can see, how we would log things, if we need cameras/binoculars, etc. So go to game, see what you can (or can’t) do and report back your findings.” If you saw Game 7 at Dodger Stadium, it was pretty clear that he was successful. Bregman stole THIRD for the only time in his life, and Gurriel, who averages the fewest pitches per plate appearance in the entire MLB over his career, has a THIRTEEN pitch at bat, casually sitting back on all off speed stuff and fouling it off. And, of course it was later confirmed by Evan Gattis that the Astros knew what Darvish was throwing on each pitch. Of course they cheated on the road, and you'd better believe that after cheating all year, against teams like the White Sox that lost nearly 100 games, there were not going to stop cheating in Game 7 of the World Series
@@drbryant23 how convenient, you only used one pitching statistic to measure our pitching for the entire year and ignored what i said about our numbers and record on the road...

idc say what you want about Astros cheating. Game 5 of the WS is the greatest ever played. No way they cheated during the Playoffs with how loud it is in MMP.
4 years later, I am heartened to see that this video is not being disliked into oblivion (using an addon to see them of course). Astros 100% earned this.
This run was incredible. The legendary things they did brought hope and light to a battered city. Some of the worst times in my life. I lost my home. My neighborhood was utterly destroyed. Watching them win the WS was the highlight of an already horrible year I watched it from a temporary apartment with nothing in it. Just family and memories. Thank you astros. Lets do it again.
won fair and square. go cry. our championsip wasnt revoked, so we are still 2017 champions. We are also going to beat your dodgers again this year when they choke as usual.
well apparently the dodgers won 2020 without cheating and this is the last time I deal with you TRASHtros so Houston sucks so Jose Altuve + Houston = buzzer eater
We didn't cheat at this point like so many fans say we did. We had a ravaged city rooting for us. That was the Astros drive to win. Screw all you haters. We are still WS champs of 2017.
Just wish the first win wasn't tainted and 2 series we won them.. I'm an Astros fan but it just sucks that scandal happened but nothing can take away the time I was happy then

Evan Gattis admitted to cheating in Game 7 vs the Dodgers
The astros might have cheated but in 2019 they did good with out cheating
Astros are so much better in the American League Rivalry with Texas Rangers

So many clutch hits on the road… awesome to watch! Awesome video!
Speaking it to the universe. 2021 World Series champs.
Absolutely electrifying!

Even after all this time every single home run gives me chills
How did they do it without trash cans? Must have been a pretty good team to begin with.

agreed I mean Houston + World series = trash can

Who want to watch cheaters win
Apparently everyone in the 90s
The highlights of cheaters
Astros fan here.....but am still very amused by the 'Earn History' mantra.
Y’all should go back and edit in the trash cans; you can’t snub the MVP!
“Earn History” A phrase the Astros can’t say they did. Sad
Something the yankees can never say they did either.
I'm glad for Houston fans this was a great inspirational hope moment but I just can't seem to overlook the fact that they cheated :(
I think it's overblown. Sign stealing is part of the game and I doubt they're the only team that went to this length
