I'm not saying give it to the Dodgers, but simply show that there was no winner for 2017.FenFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07093124081174881768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-40123897654997393702020-02-13T17:17:12.205-08:002020-02-13T17:17:12.205-08:00The Athletic: "Dave Hudgens knew why the Astr...The Athletic: "<a href="https://theathletic.com/1603582/2020/02/12/dave-hudgens-knew-why-the-astros-were-banging-trash-cans-he-let-it-go-on-now-he-says-hes-sorry/" rel="nofollow">Dave Hudgens knew why the Astros were banging trash cans. He let it go on. Now he says he's sorry</a>"<br /><br />(Hudgens was Houston's hitting coach in 2017. Last season the Blue Jays hired him as bench coach.)<br /><br />"When I first heard about it, it was during a game. The season had been going for a little bit. I don’t remember exact dates or anything, I just remember sitting in the dugout and heard some bangs going on. After it went on for a little while, I asked a player sitting next to me – I can’t remember who it was – ‘What’s the banging going on back there?’ ... And he said, ‘Oh, they’re letting him know a breaking ball’s coming,’ or whatever. I said, ‘Wow. OK.’ And so I wish at that point I would’ve gone to A.J. and said, ‘Maybe this isn’t the right thing to do. What do you think?’ But we didn’t. So now we’re dealing with it. ... I should’ve gone into A.J.’s office and said something, like any of us should’ve done. But we didn’t. And I really can’t even think of what I was thinking back then, to be honest with you."<br />[<i>So just so I understand: You never went home at night and said, “Geez, I don’t think we should be doing this.” You didn’t have any kind of regrets or doubts about it at the time it was happening?</i>]<br />"No, not that I can remember. I don’t remember thinking that."<br />***allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.com
