“I think I’ll be irritated forever.”
L.A. Dodgers pitcher Joe Kelly just RIPPED the Houston Astros … calling the players “snitches” and “little bitches” over their cheating scandal in a scathing rant.
The reliever sounded off on his teammate, Ross Stripling‘s “Big Swing Podcast” … making the comments shortly after he was suspended 8 games for his role in a near Astros-Dodgers brawl last month.
Kelly explained to Stripling how he thought his ban was BS … and then went absolutely IN on the Astros for the way he believes they passed off blame in their 2017 cheating scandal.
Kelly says the players wrongly let bench coach Alex Cora and GM Jeff Luhnow — who were both fired after MLB’s investigation — take the fall for the sign-stealing scheme … saying, “all they do is go snitch like a little bitch, and they don’t have to get fined, they don’t have to lose games.”
Kelly added, “When you take someone’s livelihood … to save your own ass, that’s what I don’t like. Cheating? They cheated. Everyone knows they’re cheaters.”
“They know they’re cheaters. It’s over. That’s been there, done that. But now, they mess it up by ruining other people’s lives, so they f*cked it up twice.”
Kelly — who wasn’t on the 2017 Dodgers team that lost to the Astros in the World Series but did play under Cora in 2018 with the Red Sox — says Houston players’ actions were “one of the worst things that you could probably do.”
“They’re not respectable men to me,” Kelly said.

As for his role in the infamous Astros-Dodgers game last month … Kelly says he has no idea why baseball banned him — insisting when he threw at Alex Bregman and Carlos Correa, it wasn’t intentional.
In fact, Kelly blamed the Astros for all of the ensuing commotion … saying he was the one who properly socially distanced and followed CDC guidelines amid the chaos.
“They walked out of their dugout, walked toward us,” Kelly said. “Carlos Correa f*cking spit at our team.”
Kelly has since had his suspension reduced to five games after his appeal. The Dodgers, meanwhile, are not scheduled to play again this season — unless they meet in the World Series.
