LOS ANGELES — A group of Los Angeles Dodgers fans is making plans to vent its frustration at the Houston Astros about baseball’s sign-stealing scandal.
Houston and the Dodgers don’t play each other during the upcoming regular season, so the group, known as Pantone 294, is snapping up tickets to the Los Angeles Angels‘ home opener against the Astros on April 3 in Anaheim, the Los Angeles Times reported. The group regularly organizes trips to support the Dodgers on the road.
“Spirits are great, man,” utilityman Kike Hernandez said Saturday about the fans. “Positive vibes.”
Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner joined several of his teammates in expressing frustration at the Astros for stealing signs during the 2017 season, when Houston beat them in seven games in the World Series.
“It sucks for the fans as well,” Turner said during the team’s annual FanFest at Dodger Stadium. “It sucks for a lot of people.”
