Padres Outfielder Tommy Pham Crushes Carlos Correa and Astros on Twitter for Clown-Level Apologies

If the Houston Astros' sign-stealing scandal has been good for anything (and it really hasn't!), it's certainly brought out the best and most vicious in the rest of MLB's stars.

No one is holding back, letting loose with direct call-outs lobbed at the 25 cheaters on Houston's 2017 (ok, and 2018, and 2019...) roster.

The latest 'Stro with a target on his back is Carlos Correa, who responded to Cody Bellinger's ruthless message with a profanity-filled interview vehemently denying Jose Altuve's use of both the trash cans and buzzers, and explaining away his lack of stripping by blaming it on an...ugly unfinished tattoo?

Jose Altuve didn’t want his jersey to be ripped off because his wife would be mad, but also because he had an unfinished tattoo, but also he never used the trash can, but also sometimes he did but he’d get mad at it. Got it. Clear to me. Normal, non-convoluted stuff.

Tommy Pham, formerly of the Cardinals and Rays, and now on the West Coast with the Padres, was not having it.

What about one more? Shall we go for it?

I wouldn’t have taken the hitting a baseball is hard even if you know what’s coming approach in the interview today, because it’s even harder to hit when you don’t know what’s coming ? #AstrosCheatingScandal

Yeah, it's that easy. Jim Crane, take note.

MLB's players aren't even close to satisfied with the league's current response to the Astros' behavior, and things will only boil over further the first time a player is suspended for retaliation.

For now, it seems they feel free to take their shots via social media.
