Corey Seager Throws Shade at Houston Astros and Alex Bregman During Texas Rangers’ World Series Parade
In a surprising turn of events, Corey Seager of the Texas Rangers didn’t waste any time taking a jab at the Houston Astros and Alex Bregman during the team’s World Series parade earlier this week. Seager’s remarks were made publicly, which is in stark contrast to Bregman’s comments that were recorded behind closed doors.
The tension between the two teams has been building for quite some time, and Seager’s comment may have been a direct reference to one made by the Astros in the past. The Astros had arrogantly stated that something tragic would happen if they didn’t win the division. However, it was the Rangers who lost their final regular-season game, allowing the Astros to clinch the division title.
The significance of Seager’s comment may also be related to the Astros’ infamous sign-stealing scandal during the 2017 World Series. The scandal rocked the baseball world and tarnished the Astros’ reputation. The Rangers, on the other hand, had a stellar performance against the Astros in the American League Championship Series, ultimately winning in seven intense games.
The rivalry between the two teams has been marked by numerous on-field altercations, with multiple bench-clearing incidents occurring during their regular-season meetings. Adding fuel to the fire, Astros reliever Bryan Abreu was even suspended for deliberately hitting Rangers player Adolis García during the ALCS.
However, García’s response to the intentional hit was nothing short of remarkable. In the following games, García smacked three home runs and was named the ALCS Most Valuable Player, proving that the Rangers were not to be taken lightly.
Interestingly, the Rangers also made a statement by hitting an Astros player with a pitch later in the game. Although the benches didn’t empty on this occasion, it highlighted the underlying tension between the two teams.
The drama between the Rangers and the Astros is sure to continue when the Astros take their first road trip of the 2024 season to Arlington, where the Rangers play. Fans can expect the rivalry to be as intense as ever, with emotions running high and both teams striving to assert their dominance.
As the baseball world eagerly awaits the upcoming season, it’s clear that the tension between the Rangers and the Astros is far from over. Corey Seager’s comment during the World Series parade serves as a reminder that the feud between the two teams is far from forgotten, and fans can expect sparks to continue flying when they face off once again.
