Watch: Rays prepare for Astros by banging trash cans

The Houston Astros made it to the American League Championship Series for the fourth consecutive season, but that doesn't phase the Tampa Bay Rays, who beat the New York Yankees in the ALDS to reach the ALCS for the first time since 2008. 

After beating the Yankees in a decisive Game 5, the Rays celebrated at Petco Park in San Diego by blasting the song "Empire State of Mind" by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys. While they took the time to mock the Yankees, they also got some shots in at the Astros while they were at it. 

Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi went live on Instagram to roast the Astros — their upcoming opponent — by banging on a garbage can during celebrations. The Astros were found guilty of stealing signs during the 2017 and 2018 seasons and banged on trash cans to relay pitch information to batters. 

The Rays and Astros begin their series on Sunday at Petco Park, and it's sure to be a good one. Tampa Bay will be looking for revenge after the Astros booted them from the ALDS in five games last year.
