Carlos Correa's Clear Message on Fans Jeering Jose Altuve

Altuve heard it from the Yankees crowd throughout the game, but it seemed to have the opposite effect than what fans wanted. Carlos Correa, who the Astros reunited with at the MLB trade deadline, issued a warning on Altuve.

"If I’m a fan, I would try to make it feel like a spring training game," Correa said, per Clutch Points. "After he yanked the fastball, I knew he was gonna go back to (the changeup). If he’s gonna get beat, he’s gonna get beat with his best pitch, and that’s the changeup."

One thing about Yankee fans booing Jose Altuve all these years later is that it always works. He gets completely rattled and definitely can’t focus. Like clockwork. pic.twitter.com/SDyYDKYNdp
