Zack Greinke Tells Ramon Laureano What Pitch is Coming, Proceeds To Give Up A Long Home Run

It probably wasn’t Zack Greinke’s finest moment in today’s playoff game against the Oakland Athletics. In the second inning of a 0-0 game, Greinke held up two fingers, indicating that a breaking ball was coming. Ramon Laureano took care of the rest.

Twitter is having a field day with Greinke’s bonehead move.

Everyone is going to hate the A’s for stealing the Astros signs. No other way to explain how Laureano knew that slider was coming other than Greinke telling him right beforre the pitch.

Zack Grienke keeps showing opposing teams what he's about to throw because he so disgusted being on the Astros.

He just did it a few minutes ago in the playoffs. Laureano crushed a 3 Run Home Run.

Tired: Zach Grienke gave Laureano the signs

Maybe Zack Greinke just thought it was fair for other teams to know what pitch was coming next. After all, the Astros did develop an elaborate system for sign stealing that resulted in massive penalties.

Ramon Laureano and the Astros have a history this year, as well. Laureano took on the entire Houston Astros dugout during a game in early August after being hit by a pitch.

Ramon Laureano got the last laugh, for now. We’ll see if the A’s can stave off elimination against the Astros. The A’s have the entire country in their corner. Nobody wants to see the cheater Astros move on in the postseason.

The Astros are without a doubt the most unlikeable team in recent memory. They seem to have accepted the role of villain, though. They’ve used it as fuel to succeed this far in the playoffs.

After the Astros swept the Twins in the Wild Card Round, Carlos Correa had this message for the Astros haters. “I know a lot of people are mad. I know a lot of people don’t want to see us here,” Correa said to ESPN. “But what are they going to say now?”

Let’s hope someone can take out the Astros soon, I can’t stand these guys.
