Why do I basically never see the Astros on r/baseball?

It seems like I never see any highlights that include the Astros but I can basically watch every hit in other games just by scrolling r/baseball. You essentially wouldn’t know we even had a team.

I know there’s the obvious answer of “everyone hates us, of course we don’t get our highlights” but then shouldn’t there be hugely upvoted highlights of us playing like s**t? It’s not a huge deal. I just don’t understand why, even for a neutral viewer, you’d want to see a single shot home run to make it 10-0 instead of more highly leveraged plays in another game.

For example, scrolling today I saw more highlights titled “Shohei Ohtani smiling and laughing” than plays with the Astros. He’s actually my favorite non-Astro player but I’m just at a loss for words when I can see that then scroll for 5 minutes and not see the Astros mentioned.

It’s too damn hot to stand out here shouting at clouds anymore so I’ll end my rant.
