Afterward, La Russa was still livid, accusing the Astros of intentionally hitting Abreu. While he wasn&#8217;t ejected, La Russa blew up on the umpires after Graveman hit Abreu with a 3-2 pitch and two outs in the bottom of the eighth as Houston led 7-1 in its eventual 10-1 victory. The umpires gave each team a warning after the plunking of Abreu, who was hit by 22 pitches in the regular season. &#8220;Well I questioned after they threw three pitches in there, they should&#8217;ve just ejected him,&#8221; La Russa said. &#8220;It will be a good test of the character and credibility of the winning team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>White Sox manager Tony La Russa was irate when star first baseman Jose Abreu got hit on the shoulder by Astros reliever Kendall Graveman late as Chicago was getting blown<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[126,1],"tags":[220,202,58],"class_list":["post-180669","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mlb","category-news","tag-baseball","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180669","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=180669"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180669\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=180669"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=180669"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omni48.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=180669"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
