Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Joe Kelly has no shame when it comes to speaking out against the Houston Astros.
Before the Dodgers’ series against the Astros on Tuesday, Kelly talked again about the hate he gets from Astros fans for throwing at one of their players last season, Fox News reports. Kelly hit Alex Bregman with a pitch and hurled expletives at Carlos Correa.
“I mean, just being real. People are sort of fake nowadays, so a lot of people that talk shit online wouldn’t do it in person,” he told reporters, via the Los Angeles Times. “They usually hide behind the computer. … But whatever. People be bitches.”
Kelly appeared in the Dodgers’ victory over the Astros in Houston as he took over for starter Clayton Kershaw with two outs in the eighth inning and was able to get Jose Altuve out.
Fox News reports it was Kershaw’s first start against the Astros in the regular season since 2015. He made two starts and a relief appearance against Houston during the 2017 World Series.
MLB determined the Astros used a cheating scheme to gain an advantage on opponents during the regular season but found no evidence the scheme continued into the playoffs.
The Dodgers beat the Astros 9-2 on Tuesday and face off again in Houston on Wednesday.
The Joe Kelly Fight Club is setting up franchises
I would rather see Kelly v Correa 2 than Fury v Wilder 3. Grab the popcorn!
Joe Kelly don’t take no shit I wear my “Nice Swing Bitch” T shirt all the time people love it
Kelly is a little girl.
Kelly played for the Red Sox who cheated their way to a tainted World Series title in 2018. Red Sox were caught cheating in 2017 and again in 2018 for sign stealing.
Joe Kelly ain’t afraid and we need that “People Be Bitches” T shirt please lol
