MLB fans on Lance McCullers: "When you don’t do anything on the group project but still get an A" "You win, you can talk that s***"

Being one of the last remnants of the 2017 World Series team, Lance McCullers has now won his second championship as the Houston Astros lifted the trophy by beating the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2022 World Series.

In his celebratory speech following his team's World Series victory, Lance McCullers took shots at the Astros' previous postseason opponents, much to the chagrin of the majority of MLB fanbases.

Here are some of the reactions from fans.

After getting destroyed by the Phillies, many fans found it disrespectful that he would take shots at other postseason teams after the Astros' victory.

Surprisingly, others defended McCullers' speech and explained that he can talk as much as he wants as at the end of the day, it was his team that ultimately ended up with the trophy.

McCullers only started one game and made one appearance in this year's Fall Classic. The hurler made his lone start in Game 3 and was rocked by the Philadelphia Phillies for seven runs in just 4 1/3 innings pitched. McCullers also set a record for the most home runs given up by a pitcher in a World Series game with five.

Lance McCullers' 2022 season

McCullers had a late start to the season.

After a flexor tendon strain during his recovery from a forearm injury, it wasn't until August 13 that Lance McCullers made a start for the Houston Astros in 2022. The pitcher made just eight starts this season, posting a 4-2 record with a 2.27 ERA.

McCullers didn't have a good time in the postseason either. He made just three starts and was lit up with a 5.87 ERA, with a loss across just 15 1/3 innings and 18 strikeouts.
