Houston Astros fans react to Dusty Baker receiving a call from Bill Cosby wishing him luck 

Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker is on a quest to get his first World Series ring in his long-time coaching career. He started his managerial career in 1993 with the San Francisco Giants. In his 30 years of managing, he's now in the best position to win a World Series.

Being the oldest person to ever manage in a World Series, Dusty Baker received many phone calls this week wishing him luck. He shocked some fans by mentioning one person in particular that called him -- Bill Cosby.

When asked to mention the names of a few people who had wished him, Baker said:

"Yeah, just my homeboys, some homegirls. Let me see, Snoop Dogg, you know a couple of rappers, local dudes, coaches I had, Bill Cosby, just different people that I've known in my life."

After hearing this, fans were confused and a little disgusted.

While fans were impressed that Snoop Dogg had called Dusty, they weren't pleased with the fact that their team's manager was associated with somebody like Cosby.

In 2014, the comedian became the subject of numerous sexual assault allegations. Four years later, he was convicted of aggravated indecent assault and was imprisoned until the conviction was vacated 2021.

As such, Astros fans are afraid that being associated with someone like Cosby will give people another another reason to hate the team. They're already burdened by a cheating scandal that won't go away and don't want to add being associated with Bill Cosby to that list.

"Oh great another reason for people to root against us," said one Houston fan.

"Wildest thing I've read all day," said another.

Fans believe that Dusty Baker should have kept the Bill Cosby call to himself. They're not sure why he made that information public.

The Houston Astros need to take advantage of their home games

World Series - Philadelphia Phillies v Houston Astros - Game 1

The Philadelphia Phillies fans showed what they're capable of in the NLCS, and they'll be going even harder in the World Series. It's important that the Houston Astros take advantage of their games at Minute Maid Park. Philadelphia is a hard place to play and the Astros can't afford to go into Philadelphia facing a deficit.

Houston's best shot at winning the World Series is heading into Philadelphia 2-0 up. They will need to find a way to shut down the red-hot Philadelphia offense. Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber, and Rhys Hoskins all have the ability to change the game with a swing of the bat.

Houston will look to their elite pitching staff to keep doing their thing. They have been nearly unhittable in the postseason thus far.

These two teams match up very well against each other. The World Series should be a very competitive affair.
