To help pass the month and half until ACTUAL baseball begins, let’s all partake in a nice game of MLB Spring Training BINGO.

Per Major League Baseball’s investigation, the trash can played an integral part in the Houston Astros’ elaborate sign stealing set up as players would bang on the trash can

This now marks the fourth firing within the Houston Astros organization over the last week, joining manager A.J. Hinch, general manager Jeff Lunhow and the literal firing of Mike Fiers jerseys, which apparently are very flammable.

One player, who asked to remain anonymous right after asking for a step stool to stand on, said, “I will really miss working with that trash can. He was more than just a bin of waste. He helped me in my game so much.”

Shortly after, that player had to quickly hop off his step stool and leave the room because his body started vibrating.

The trash can started working with the Astros almost 10 years ago when it was simply known as a mere waste bin, but over the years, it grew to become a respected member of the Astros coaching staff, improving many guys batting averages and home run numbers.

One player said the trash can was like the opposite of a player in the sense that he would rarely get banged on the road, but rather would be hit on all the time at home.

The trash can could not be reached for comment, but friends of his have said that he feels like total garbage, and now that he’s out of work, he feels completely empty inside.

It is unclear right now whether or not the Astros will sign another trash can or just go the route of 28 other MLB teams and not cheat.

Today, Major League Baseball dropped the hammer on them with a list of punishments for the entire franchise.

And then shortly after…

The Astros then fired general manager Jeff Lunhow and manager A.J. Hinch. If you walk backwards to the beginning of the story, you’ll essentially find one man responsible for peeling back the curtain on the Astros video/banging on a trash can room.

And that man behind is named Mike Fiers.

Former Houston Astros pitcher and current Oakland A’s pitcher Mike Fiers is responsible for being the one to oust the Astros organization and the elaborate set up they had to steal signs using video and a trash can to bang on to inform hitters about what pitch was coming.

So obviously is the most hated man in Houston since Bill O’Brien (yesterday). With all the hate he’s getting on Twitter right now, you’d assume he was the one who blew a 24-0 lead to the Chiefs yesterday.

I went ahead and collected some tweets to show you what people on Twitter are saying about Mike Fiers right now.

And you know Trevor Bauer had to take time to put his drone down and thumb out a tweet…
