ATLANTA — Alex Bregman has played in the World Series in three of the last five years and knows what to expect. He and some of his longtime teammates on the Houston Astros are intimately familiar with every aspect of the process, from the travel to the games and the interviews afterward.
So Bregman knew, when starter Luis Garcia answered a reporter’s question in Spanish early Saturday morning after Houston lost Game 3 of the World Series, that an interpreter was about to provide the English translation of Garcia’s response.
But Bregman playfully cut him off with a boilerplate, cliché answer.
