Corey Seager got back at Alex Bregman with a spicy World Series speech mic drop

The Astros took the AL West division title, but the Rangers got the last laugh.

The Texas Rangers ended one of the longest championship droughts in the history of professional sports, capturing the World Series in five games over the Arizona Diamondbacks and winning the first title in the franchise’s 62-year history.

Despite not winning the AL West Division — that honor went to the rival Houston Astros — Texas went on an incredible run as a wild card squad, going 11-0 on the road in the postseason.

That run included knocking off the Astros in a seven-game ALCS, and at the Rangers’ championship parade, World Series MVP Corey Seager fired a shot across the bow at the Astros, and Alex Bregman specifically.

“I’ve just got one thing to say: Everybody was wondering what would happen if the Rangers didn’t win the World Series,” Seager said. “I guess we’ll never know.”

It’s a clear reference to comments made by Bregman in the clubhouse after the Astros clinched the AL West title via tiebreaker after both squads finished 90-72 in the regular season.

Seager and the Rangers ultimately got the last laugh, it seems.

Corey Seager understandably ignored an awkward question about the Dodgers letting him go

What an utterly bizarre interaction.

Corey Seager helped lead the Texas Rangers to the franchise’s first World Series with a decisive 5-0 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. The former 2016 Rookie of the Year earned the title of World Series MVP with six runs batted in and three home runs over the course of the five game series.

It’s the second World Series MVP crown for the high-level shortstop, previously winning the honor with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2020. Seager played with Los Angeles for the first six seasons of his career before signing a massive 10-year, $325 million contract with the Rangers in 2022.

A lot of people had questions as to why the Dodgers would let such a talented, young player walk, but not many would think to ask that question at the postgame press conference at the conclusion of the World Series.

Well, one reporter did, and it was extremely awkward.

Seager, understandably, declined to answer the head-scratching question. Who cares why they let him go? He’s a Rangers legend now.

Joe Davis delivered an electric call of Corey Seager’s mammoth 9th-inning HR to tie World Series Game 1

What a call!

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager stepped up in a huge way for his team in front of a home crowd in the bottom of the ninth in Game 1 of the 2023 World Series on Friday night.

Going into the ninth, the Rangers trailed the Diamondbacks, 5-3, and center fielder Leody Taveras opened the bottom of the inning by getting the lead-off walk. A couple batters later, Seager was up.

And Seager must have liked what he saw on his first pitch because he swung big and blasted a mammoth home run to tie the game, which ultimately went into extra innings. The crowd at Globe Life Field sounded absolutely electric, but Fox’s Joe Davis delivered an incredible call of Seager’s homer.

Game 1 was an exciting one, but this is simply a great call for an awesome World Series moment.

Corey Seager hilariously tried to trick the umpires by bumping into Jonathan India on a rundown

Good effort.

There aren’t many baseball situations that provide more hectic entertainment value than a good rundown. You have a baserunner desperately trying to make up for a mistake and get to a base safely. You have an entire infield trying to remember those drills from spring training without running into each other. It’s fun!

But even a short rundown can have its hilarious moments.

During Sunday’s game between the Reds and Dodgers, Corey Seager’s second-inning single was spoiled when Wade Miley forced Seager into a rundown with a pickoff attempt at first. But instead of trying to out-maneuver the Reds, Seager tried to fool the umpiring crew.

As Jonathan India was chasing Seager back to first, Seager stopped on the throw to intentionally shoulder-check the Reds second baseman. Seager’s hope was for the umpires to call an obstruction call on India and reward him second base. Seager even tried to sell it by pointing at India.

Yet, it was pretty clear that Seager initiated the contact and went out of his way to bump into India. The umpires weren’t fooled and called Seager out there. It was worth a try, I guess.

Seager would make up for the base-running error his next at-bat with a two-run home run in the third inning.

Don’t have to worry about pickoffs if you do that.
