Astros' McCullers Reports Death Threats After Rough Outing

Houston Astros pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. revealed he received death threats directed at him and his children following a disastrous start on Saturday. McCullers lasted only one-third of an inning, allowing multiple runs in the game. Following the game, McCullers shared that he received messages from individuals threatening violence against him and his family, including threats to "find my kids and murder them."

The Astros organization has been made aware of the threats and is working with authorities to investigate the matter. Such threats are taken extremely seriously by both the team and Major League Baseball. While passionate fanbases are a part of the game, threats of violence and harassment are unacceptable and will not be tolerated. The investigation is ongoing, and the Astros are providing support to McCullers and his family during this difficult time. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the negative impact that online abuse can have on athletes and their families.
