Trevor Bauer and Derek Dietrich roasted the Astros during a live at-bat session

There may not be any baseball right now, but that hasn’t stopped big leaguers from mocking the Houston Astros.

The global coronavirus pandemic has put nearly every U.S. professional sport on hold for the unforeseen future, and in MLB’s case, the sports stoppage came within the final weeks of spring training. This has forced players to find ways to remain in shape while a potential start to an abbreviated season gets negotiated with MLB owners.

Cincinnati Reds teammates Trevor Bauer and Derek Dietrich, though, have teamed up to remain sharp.

In a video for Momentum, Bauer and Dietrich went to an empty park in Arizona and held some Astros-inspired live batting practice. Basically, Bauer let Dietrich know of every pitch that was coming ahead of time — something Bauer actually did in a spring training game.

From the very beginning of the at-bat session, Bauer took a shot at the Astros. He said:

“Today’s live AB’s is brought to you by the Houston Astros. Every hitter is entitled to know exactly what pitch is coming, and I am allowed to lie and cheat my way to a championship. The Houston Astros: your home for illegitimate titles.”

And, of course, right before they made a trash-can joke, Dietrich finally took Bauer deep.

It is easier to hit when you know what’s coming, after all.
