Alex Bregman is taking a page from Aaron Judge’s book and poking the bear.

As the Astros got back to Houston on Monday tied 1-1 with the Red Sox in the ALCS, Bregman posted an Instagram story — which has since been deleted — with highlights of himself, George Springer and Jose Altuve hitting back-to-back-to-back home runs off Nathan Eovaldi in June.

Bregman, the Astros’ hot-hitting third baseman, added the caption, “lil pregame video work.” Eovaldi — the Red Sox’ Game 3 starter — was on the Rays when the Astros ambushed him June 20 for four home runs in a 5-1 loss, but most recently tossed seven innings of one-run ball against the Yankees in Game 3 of the ALDS.

The trolling brings back shades of Judge, who played, “New York, New York” from a speaker as he walked past the Red Sox clubhouse after the Yankees left Fenway Park with the ALDS tied 1-1. The Red Sox went on to win the next two games and played Frank Sinatra’s song in their clubhouse as they celebrated with champagne.
