Astros’ Josh Reddick Claps Back At Fan Who Called Him A ‘Cheater’ On Twitter, Does Not End Well For Him

The 2017 Houston Astros owe a debt to society they’re not even close to re-paying, especially since they ‘expressed sincere apologies and remorse‘ in new court papers.

Players involved in the egregious cheating scandal that helped secure a World Series title should be spending every waking moment at local food banks and hospitals and giving at least 50 percent of their income to philanthropic causes and my Venmo.

Instead, Josh Reddick’s plan is to “move on and not give a shit” and “shut everybody up” by winning presumably sans-trash can.

The Astros outfielder recently posted a tweet joking about Wal-Mart not putting its entire staff at risk of getting sick. The joke would have been more well received if it came from someone who pitchers weren’t still intentionally throwing fastballs at.

The derogatory replies were plentiful, but the 33-year-old former Gold Glove winner decided to reply to one commenter who called him a “cheater.”

Reddick has consistently shaken the bee hive even after he told Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle in February that he, his wife and some of his teammates had received death threats on social media.

This tweet didn’t help his cause.

The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
