Gattis Admits Houston Astros Cheated and Other Shocking Revelations
Wow.
That's really all there is to say about former Houston Astros player Evan Gattis and his actions on Monday night on Twitter.
Gattis made some interesting, albeit wild admissions about his time with the Astros, which happened to be during the infamous 2017 MLB season. That was the year Houston was accused of running one of the biggest cheating scandals in all of North American sports history.
Taking to Twitter on Monday while clearly not in a stable or unaltered state, Gattis admitted that he and other players, knew which pitches were coming from opposing pitchers. He confirmed the trashcan banging from the dugout to alert the batter of the type of pitch.
He mentioned also mentioned that he at one time may have been in performance enhancing drugs, something he was never caught for during his playing career.
He did mention however that the buzzer thing was probably not real. At least in terms of Jose Altuve who has taken the brunt of those accusations.
Among one of the most bizarre 24 hours on baseball twitter, Gattis also went on about racism, jokes, and even made sexual comments to female users.
Either way, it was not a pretty sight from the former Astro.
