Some within the Houston Astros organization are furious with Major League Baseball over Bryan Abreu's suspension that could keep him out of Game 7 of the ALCS and Game 1 of the World Series.
The Houston Astros are preparing for Game 7 of the American League Championship Series against the Texas Rangers on Monday.
After winning three games on the road to take a 3-2 series lead, they once again lost at home to set up this winner-take-all scenario.
As the Astros get ready for Game 7, they'll seemingly be doing so without their star reliever, who is appealing his suspension.
Bryan Abreu was ejected in Game 5 for hitting Adolis Garcia. He was then suspended two games by the MLB.
His appeal will be heard on Monday and a decision will be known by first pitch if Abreu's suspension will be upheld, reduced or overturned.
Still, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, members in Houston's organization are furious with the MLB over this suspension and the circumstances surrounding it.
The reliever maintains that he did not hit Garcia on purpose. The Astros state that it was a close game and hitting someone intentionally would have put them at a disadvantage as they only trailed by two runs.
Rosenthal also dropped another bombshell, citing that Houston thinks there's favoritism at play.
Both the MLB and Young declined to comment about this allegation according to Rosenthal.
The appeal is likely to be upheld considering past precedent that will be used in this case, forcing the Astros to navigate Game 7 without their second-best reliever.
