Carlos Correa slammed many for his comments after the Houston Astros won a wild-card series over the Minnesota Twins heading to meet him at Aldis.
Korea essentially said that Bezab.l fans will no longer be able to say anything negative about Houston, as they have moved into the postseason without the use of sign-stealing.
Valejo native and New York Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia did not appreciate the Korean statements and called the Astros shortstop on his “R2C2” podcast with Ryan Rukoko.
“They cheated and then they went mad at us, like get out of here,” Sabathia said. “It’s an F-King joke. And then you end up under .500 this year, like close fk.
“The kid is a clown man, sorry.”

Houston became the most infamous team in the professional game earlier this year after a systematic sign-theft scheme was revealed, leading to heavy fines for manager AJ Hinch and general manager Jeff Luhnu and the organization.
Houston and Auckland have been AL West’s class for the past five years, and their rivalry has reached new heights in the aftermath of this scandal. The pitcher who started it was on the 2017 Astros team that won the Mike Fires World Series, and it was the whistle blower who announced the plan. In one game this season, Eno outfielder Ramon Laureno yelled at the Astros coach and was provoked to charge Mana, leading to some bench-clearing brawls in the MLB this season.
Sabathia is not the first to express such frustration about the Astros, and will not be the last. Korea has been as abusive as any member of the organization caught up in the scandal, and we’ll see how many words it exchanges with what should be the least controversial category.
