Astros' Alex Bregman Gets Twitter Account Back and He's Already Getting Mercilessly Ripped by Fans

The mysterious disappearance of Alex Bregman's Twitter account has been resolved, though we're still not quite sure what caused it.

After almost a week since his profile abruptly vanished, the Houston Astros third baseman confirmed on Friday that the social media app helped him retrieve his account.

While Bregman was jubilant about having control over his Twitter, fans predictably resumed ripping him apart. One New York Yankees supporter kept things short and simple:

Where's the fun in that? So long as the jokes aren't loudly offensive, there's nothing wrong with a little bit of horseplay.

Not only does that qualify, but it's also accurate. Well done!

There are rumors swirling that Bregman was forced to bang a trash can a few times to give Twitter the OK to reclaim his profile.

You can't put it past him.

What did we say about crossing the line?

Let's blow it dead there. Things are starting to get out of hand. Leave it to Twitter to spoil a great opportunity for some harmless trolling.

Unfortunately for Bregman, he'll have to start from scratch in terms of muting these cynics. Then again, that's probably what you sign up for when you cheat America's pastime.
