Inside his news conference, though, Springer had an unexpected guest at the podium with him. But like the 'Stros this season, the All-Star was unflappable.
"Nah, I try to ignore the bug that's over to my left," Springer said.
"That's awesome," the outfielder continued with a smile.
Springer regrouped and finished answering the question, also telling the room of reporters not to kill the bug because it might be lucky.
Springer takes up his customary lead-off spot in Game 1 and will play centerfield against the Tampa Bay Rays.
