During our post-game digital coverage of the Astros in the playoffs, former MLB Scout Jeremy Booth talked about that tension-filled eighth inning.
MLB said all six umpires decided Abreu’s pitch was intentional. MLB said it “took into account the dangerous nature of the pitch and its potential impact on player safety.” A meeting was going to happen at 5 p.
m. Sunday. It's unclear if Abreu will be available to pitch in Game 6. The appeal will be heard by John McHale Jr., a special assistant to baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred.The suspension was announced by MLB senior vice president Michael Hill. García and Astros pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. were fined along with Texas pitcher Matt Bush. McCullers and Bush are being prohibited from sitting on their team benches for the rest of the series. Houston manager Dusty Baker was fined for his actions following his ejection. Baker remained in the Astros dugout for six minutes before leaving for the clubhouse. NEW VIDEO: Dusty Baker says Astros reliever Bryan Abreu is appealing his suspension. A meeting is supposed to take place at 5P. Unclear if he will be available for tonight’s Game 6.“My thought process is I wasn’t ready to go because it shouldn’t have happened in the first place,” he said. “That was my thought process.” He was then asked what the umpires said when they approached him in the dugout when he wouldn't leave. “Well, they didn’t say much,” he said. “They kind of just turned around and said: ‘He’s not leaving.’ Then they turned around and said they can’t start until I leave."“It happens,” he said. “And you don’t script it. It’s a spontaneous, combustible reaction that gets out of control. And most of us want to be under control. Most of us want to play ball. Most don’t want to box.” Texas manager Bruce Bochy was asked if he thinks there will be any carryover from the scuffle into Game 6.MLB hands down punishments to Astros, Rangers for bench-clearing incident from Game 5 of ALCS Here is what Jose Altuve had to say about Adolis García's celebration following his Game 5 home run in the ALCS
