ARLINGTON, Texas ÔÇö People will see what they want to see. I said on the FS1 broadcast that Bryan Abreu obviously was not throwing at Adolis Garc├¡a. Perhaps that was too strong. The umpires ruled AbreuÔÇÖs pitch was intentional. Several Rangers players believe the pitch was intentional. But itÔÇÖs telling that manager Bruce Bochy would not go that far, saying, ÔÇ£Who knows?ÔÇØ Bochy was well aware that a hit batsman was the last thing the game situation warranted. He was more upset by a delay that lasted almost 12 minutes as the umpires sorted out the fracas in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series, leading to the ejections of Abreu, Garc├¡a and Astros manager Dusty Baker.

The delay, Bochy said, affected Rangers closer Jos├® Leclerc, who had just gotten the final out of the eighth inning, and ultimately would give up Jose AltuveÔÇÖs go-ahead three-run shot in the ninth, the decisive blow in the AstrosÔÇÖ wild 5-4 victory. Before litigating the uproar, letÔÇÖs imagine an alternate universe where Garc├¡a simply would have jogged to first base after Abreu drilled him in the front shoulder with a 99-mph fastball. That universe did not exist, for even Astros catcher Mart├¡n Maldonado said, ÔÇ£I think every hitter in baseball would have taken it the same way.ÔÇØ

Garc├¡a hit a go-ahead, three-run shot in the sixth. Abreu hit him with the very first pitch of his next at-bat. In the heat of the moment, Garc├¡a was going to react, particularly given the past incidents between these teams. ÔÇ£He could have hurt me,ÔÇØ Garc├¡a said. But hereÔÇÖs the thing: If Garc├¡a had simply gone to first, the benches and bullpens would not have cleared. The Rangers would have had runners on first and second with none out, a chance to add on to their 4-2 lead. They ultimately did not score in that situation, mind you. But the delay happened because the fracas happened.

And Maldonado, the initial target of Garc├¡aÔÇÖs anger, said the incident fired up his team. ÔÇ£Yes,ÔÇØ Maldonado said. ÔÇ£Of course it did.ÔÇØ Leclerc gave up pinch-hitter Yainer DiazÔÇÖs first hit in 11 postseason at-bats leading off the ninth. He then walked pinch-hitter Jon Singleton, who was making his first plate appearance in 19 days. And then, Altuve did what Altuve does, hitting his ÔÇö gasp ÔÇö 26th postseason home run.

Afterward, the Rangers were stewing, over their failure to close out a game they controlled, over the Astros taking a three-games-to-two lead in the series, and yes, over Abreu hitting Garc├¡a. What, though, would have been AbreuÔÇÖs motivation to throw at Garc├¡a intentionally? Justin Verlander, who allowed GarciaÔÇÖs homer, said the Astros were not upset the slugger walked up the first-base line, then spiked his bat, saying, ÔÇ£I donÔÇÖt think anybody is mad about him pimping a homer, it was the biggest homer in his career, quite honestly.ÔÇØ

Rangers first baseman Nathaniel Lowe suggested Abreu might have been retaliating for Aroldis Chapman nearly hitting Yordan Alvarez in the top of the eighth, but that, too, seems a stretch. While players occasionally do dumb things, Abreu would have been completely dumb to put the Astros in position to fall further behind in the pivotal game of the ALCS. Retaliatory pitches occasionally happen in the regular season, though far less regularly than in the past. But in the postseason, when the Astros were three outs away from losing a game that would have severely compromised their chances of defending their World Series title?

HereÔÇÖs Lowe: ÔÇ£Wearing this jersey, having Adolis be my teammate, it feels pretty intentional. ThereÔÇÖs a history, obviously, between these two teams. IÔÇÖm sure Alvarez didnÔÇÖt like the ball high and tight to him either. But in todayÔÇÖs game, we throw fastballs up. If you want to get emotional about something like that and take it out on a guy that hit a three-run homer, thatÔÇÖs too bad. I donÔÇÖt really stand for it.ÔÇØ

But what about the game situation? WasnÔÇÖt it an odd time for Abreu to hit Garc├¡a? ÔÇ£ItÔÇÖs a beautiful excuse, isnÔÇÖt it?ÔÇØ Lowe asked. ÔÇ£ThatÔÇÖs how I view it. When half your bench is running out in a hurry and guys on the injured list want to run their mouth and starters who arenÔÇÖt involved want to get involved, it seems like there are more emotions tied in than gameplay.ÔÇØ Catcher Jonah Heim was more restrained than Lowe, saying, ÔÇ£It looked bad. ThatÔÇÖs all I can really say. We donÔÇÖt know if itÔÇÖs intentional or not. But it wasnÔÇÖt the best look.ÔÇØ
