The Houston Astros managed to piss off a large slew of people yet again with their press conference on Thursday to finally address cheating their way to a World Series title in 2017.

Alex Bregman and Jose Altuve expressed remorse for what they did, but most people couldn’t believe that owner Jim Crane stated that the elaborate sign-stealing scheme had no impact on the outcome of games.

Crane’s comments did not go over well and he was ripped on Twitter, and that included some current MLB players.

Aroldis Chapman responds to Jim Crane's comments that the Astros stealing signs didn't have an impact on the game:

Right…they did it because trash can acoustics are good for the soul.

Yes, they had a good team. But of course it impacted the game. If it didn’t impact the game, why continue it? Don’t play the public for fools. Just apologize, be accountable, and move forward. https://t.co/Hf7iFL7FRz

Crane says that he doesn't think the sign-stealing impacted the game. "We won the World Series and we'll leave it at that."
Why would the players have done it, if it had no impact? And if it had no impact, what are they apologizing for?

The Astros PR department should be fired over this joke of a press conference ??‍♂️

At the end of the day, the franchise got to keep their Word Series title and ring, so it really didn’t matter what the players and owner said today, they were going to be ripped regardless.
