A.J. Hinch is denying a published report that he was involved in a heated altercation at the Houston Astros' hotel after Game 1 of the World Series in Los Angeles earlier this week, calling the story "some nonsense" and "ridiculous."

According to a TMZ report, Hinch was sitting in the bar following Houston's 3-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night when some hotel guests arrived on the premises and began "talking trash" about the Astros.

Citing unnamed sources, TMZ said Hinch "snapped" and began yelling and cursing in the middle of the bar. TMZ cited a witness who said the confrontation turned physical and that police were summoned to address the situation.

Hinch denied the content of the report when meeting with reporters during an off-day on Thursday.

"First off, there was no altercation," Hinch said. "And it's a shame I get asked about some nonsense, some fabrications and some non-stories and I have to respond to it on a national stage. But to reiterate, there was no altercation. That's as far as I'm going to go. It's ridiculous."

When pressed on the details of the TMZ report, Hinch replied, "Fabrications really suck. And I'm not going to address any of it."
