The Rangers pitcher, having already voiced his displeasure with Eric Sogard on Saturday after the As infielder executed a safety squeeze, took to Twitter later in the night and took shots at not only Sogard but the infielders wife, Kaycee.
Among his numerous tweets directed at the Sogards: childish is having your wife speak up for you! certain people cant shut there woman up!
Eric, participating in a team charity bowling tournament on Saturday night, learned of Garzas remarks from a few teammates and was rather surprised, especially since wife Kaycee had only tweeted, Eric is probably the last person to respond to getting called names.
I went back and looked to see what she said and I dont see it how it was directed at him, or how he could take it that way, Sogard said.
Still, he took the high road and even slightly excused Garzas actions.
Obviously you get caught up in the heat of the moment, things like that can happen, Eric said, but I was kind of surprised to see it escalated and what happened later.
[Kaycee] just thought it was a joke. She took it off her shoulders quickly, wasnt offended by it really. We just kind of laughed about it. We took it as a joke, and thats how well continue to look at it.
