And Astros fans, OF ALL 17n PEOPLE, think it’s cheating if he has a tell to his pitches!?!??? The amount of Stros fans calling this cheating is astounding. This isn’t stealing signs. This is called being minimally observant.
So McCullers might have been tipping his pitches

Having lived in Houston for 5 of the last 6 years, I learned to really hate the Astro fans, the local media, and all the apologists for them. I used to not mind them--back during the Jackson Generals days--but they are hard to suffer through. The media is all kid-gloves for them, and everyone will tell you how diehard they really are. Very few of the current fans suffered through the Disastro years. But they have knowingly cheated early and often, and they'll defend it like no one else (it would make some of our SEC brethren blush).
But as a general rule, the baseball IQ of the typical Astros fan is pretty remedial.
They showed Bryce Harper whispering in one guys ear right before he hit one out. Nothing illegal about it, and I was glad to see those bums get destroyed.
