A fan trolled George Springer with a ‘curveball’ call before he struck out

Man, the Houston Astros are really going to have a long season, aren’t they?

The regular season hasn’t even started yet but the fans are already in mid-summer heckling form. They’re making Houston pay for its cheating scandal one way or another.

George Springer is a player who just continues to be relentlessly trolled over and over again.

Last week, Springer tried to quiet the booing crowd but embarrassed himself by whiffing a fastball so hard I could feel the breeze from the swing come through the screen.

A week later this man was struck out looking on a fastball after a fan yelled “curveball” from the stands.

Whew boy, George. The crowd really enjoyed that one, too. They cheered as he started on his walk to first before pausing and realizing he was called out.

Shoutout to all the Astros fans in the comments saying that the fan’s call meant nothing and Springer thought the pitch missed the zone. Y’all are missing the joke, too, but that’s alright.
