Dodgers fans boo PA announcer after he told crowd to stop throwing objects onto the field

Out of all the hostile crowds the Astros have faced since the cheating scandal broke before the 2020 season, nothing matched what the team faced at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday night.

The Dodgers, as you probably remember, lost to Houston in the 2017 World Series while the Astros were all in on their sign-stealing tactics. And Tuesday night was the first opportunity the Dodgers fans truly had to lash out at the Astros players.

There was an expectation that things could get out of hand, and they sort of did. Videos hit Twitter of Astros fans getting pelted by drinks in the stands, and there were some fights. At one point, someone threw a foul ball back onto the field, which prompted a warning from PA announcer Todd Leitz.

And that wasn’t even well received!

During Carlos Correa’s third-inning at-bat, the Astros infielder stepped out of the box as the PA announcer reminded the crowd that abusive behavior and throwing objects onto the field wouldn’t be tolerated. The crowd then proceeded to boo that announcement.

It was just that kind of night. This was how the fans welcomed Correa to the batter’s box:

Despite the rowdy crowd, the Astros would go on to win, 3-0.
