Communicating with fans on the Twitch platform, he recently roasted a caller in front of his followers. Consequently, the MLB community has erupted with comments, reacting to Betts’ response.

The woman replied to Betts’ query by saying that she loves bagels. Additionally, she also said that she puts double cheese, garlic, and onion on the bagels. That made Betts feel further disgusted. The Dodgers icon’s reaction made it clear that he wasn’t fond of her choice of food by any means. 

So Betts posted the video on his Twitter account quoting, “Bagel people don’t @ me for this.”
