Carlos Correa's Comments on Spring Training Boos Will Only Make Astros Haters Louder

Carlos Correa has been outspoken when it comes to the Houston Astros sign-stealing scandal, though he certainly hasn't been remorseful. Much like the rest of the organization, Correa is hoping to put the ordeal behind him.

That's obviously not going to happen any time soon, and that was made clear early on in Spring Training, where several Astros players were showered with boos upon digging in at the plate. Well, Correa was asked about the reaction from baseball fans, and his response will only further fuel the boo birds.

What did you think of the reaction?

Carlos Correa: “What reaction? I didn’t hear anything.”

Either Correa has hearing problems or is he channeling his inner WWE personality. This remark just builds up the many reasons why it has become so easy to hate on the Astros in 2020. Considering Correa hasn't noticed the jeers from fans in the crowd, it's only logical to expect the heckling to get louder.

Correa can deny having heard the boos during Monday's game, but doing so will only motivate fans to make sure they're heard next time out.
