It’s Nightingale so take it with a grain of salt

As long as Abreu appeals, any suspension will be delayed until the 2024 regular season. https://t.co/fYaUMmkFjv

Garcia isn’t suspended when he goes after Maldy bumping the umpire in between. SMH

#34807

So how many games is Leclerc suspended for throwing at Dubon's head after warnings were issued?

#34808

Something else that shows it was obviously unintentional was Abreu trying to apologize while bitchass Garcia was showing his ass. Zero chance he tries to apologize if he hit him on purpose. That simply just does not happen.

#34809

I also don’t get why MLB is so hardass on this and trying to squash any future behavior like this.

you want eyeballs on your sport, have more 6th-9th innings like last night.

I get it’s a fine line but let them play

Not so fast, my friends

Updated this tweet: Astros reliever Bryan Abreu was suspended two games for what MLB deemed an intentional hit by pitch in Game 5 of the ALCS. If Abreu appeals, there will be a hearing within 48 hours. If any suspension is upheld and the Astros are alive, he would serve it now.

 

#34820

Only a bunch of fucking morons would look at that and say he did it on purpose.  So I expect Manfred to extend it to all the playoffs...

#34821
As @Alden_Gonzalez first noted, Major League Baseball's CBA states that all appeals during the postseason must be heard within 48 hours. So, if Bryan Abreu does appeal, it is not a given that his suspension will carry over to 2024.

So appeal it at 7:06pm tomorrow.

hope it’s not heard until after a possible game 7.

and serve a reduced 1 game suspsension in game 1 of the World Series 

still bullshit.

#34826

A simple way to minimize the potential negative effect of this suspension is to have a 5+ run lead going into the 8th inning for a couple of games.

Quote

Major League Baseball suspended Houston Astros reliever Bryan Abreu for two games for “intentionally throwing” at Texas Rangersoutfielder Adolis García during Friday’s Game 5 win over Texas, the league announced Saturday. Here’s what you need to know:

The suspension is effective immediately, but Abreu can appeal it.

Abreu hit García with a pitch in the bottom of the eighth inning with the Rangers leading 4-2, igniting a benches-clearing scuffle.

Following discussion among the umpires, Abreu, García and Houston manager Dusty Baker were ejected.

The Astros lead the Rangers 3-2 in the American League Championship Series and face each other next on Sunday in Game 6.

What else to know

Every Astro asked about the incident after Friday’s game — including Abreu himself — claimed the pitch toward García was not intentional. The six umpires working the game disagreed. MLB cited the umpires’ determination in the news release announcing Abreu’s suspension along with “the dangerous nature of the pitch and its potential impact on player safety.”

Abreu hit García in the shoulder with a 98.3 mph first-pitch fastball. Both Abreu and Baker said the team intended to pitch García up and in, but catcher Martín Maldonado claimed the pitch that hit García was supposed to be thrown away. Maldonado set up away, too. It should be noted that Abreu faced 287 batters during the regular season and hit just three of them. — Chandler Rome, Astros staff writer

Glad the umpires who couldn’t even call accurate balls and strikes get to make that determination 

#34831

I don’t see how the fact that he only hit three batters during the regular season proves anything other than occasionally a pitch gets away. Otherwise it means he intentionally hit 3 batters all year.

#34832

He came in wild and walked the first batter. No way he wanted to put another runner on with no outs, bottom of 8 in game 5 of ALCS. It’s ludicrous to say without a doubt it was intentional. MLB is a bunch of Karens

#34836

I just love the fact that we live in a world that people legitimately believe the Astros are so fucking good and confident in themselves that they could intentionally hit a guy in the bottom of the 8th and no outs and one on already while down 2 runs in a pivotal game 5 of the ALCS. Oh yeah and the 8 and 9 hitters were our next batters in the 9th. 

yes, our dick is so big we can shoot it and still fuck your wife deep

hitting a guy increases the chances of the rangers scoring a run.  he's only allowed one run since july, so i can deduce that he was not intentionally trying to allow a run.  therefore, he was not intentionally trying to hit garcia.

your witness.

#34840

I’m pretty sure we intentionally hit him. and I’m ok with it and I think the “makes it harder for us to win” thing is really overblown. Their win percentage went from 95.2 to 96.3. It was basically a list cause any way you look at it. Introducing an element of chaos to the thing was probably helpful.

It also means the Rangers can't retaliate in this series without losing a pitcher immediately.

#34842

Fuck Manfred. Fuck the excuse makers.  Fuck the bullshit constantly going against Houston( HPU accuracy and this ruling, for example)

Just go kick their asses and let's go.

The focusness at MMP on Sunday will be laser sharp.  The Rangers will continue to expose their bitchass character.

I laughed.  Eovaldi can go McCullers Game 7 of the 2017 World Series hitting four guys and they won’t do dick.

Disagree. If there's even a whiff of retaliation, he's tossed.

Win the appeal and serve zero game suspension.  One of you hot shot fucking lawyers on here should be able to win this easy peasy.

We can assemble a whole team

Lol. How do you judge intent? “Bryan did you mean to hit Garcia? Be honest.”

”no senor”

”well we disagree we think you meant it, you’re suspended”

seems legit.
