00:00 - 00:05 | So, Jeff Luhnow - the GM - brings me to an office door and knocks... |
00:05 - 00:07 | A.J. Hinch opens it "Make it quick... I've got a ballgame to win" |
00:07 - 00:10 | I say, I've got you covered. |
00:11 - 00:16 | He says, "What do you know? You're a nobody. I've been in baseball my whole life." |
00:17 - 00:21 | I say: "Two words: Trash. Cans." |
00:21 - 00:24 | Trash cans. |
00:29 - 00:31 | TRASH CANS! |
00:31 - 00:34 | I say just whack on these if it's a breaking ball |
00:38 - 00:40 | And he loved it! |
00:41 - 00:47 | And they used it all season! |
00:47 - 00:50 | He's in the dugout with a bat |
00:50 - 00:56 | if they see the catcher call for an off-speed pitch |
00:58 - 00:59 | They hit the trash can. |
00:59 - 01:01 | Just whack away at it. |
01:04 - 01:06 | Everyone can hear it! |
01:06 - 01:08 | Can you believe that?? |
01:13 - 01:14 | In the major leagues!! |
01:14 - 01:16 | Bashing on a damn trash can |
01:16 - 01:20 | And everyone knew about it. |
01:21 - 01:27 | They thought they could get away with it. |
01:35 - 01:36 | Seriously. |
01:36 - 01:39 | A damn trash can! |
01:41 - 01:44 | I go to a game and say, A.J., you can't actually do this |
01:44 - 01:47 | People can hear you. People see the batters laying off pitches |
01:47 - 01:49 | He says, sure can. And that's not all... |
01:50 - 01:53 | We put a buzzer under Altuve's jersey! |
01:54 - 01:56 | A buzzer! |
01:56 - 01:58 | When he hits a walk-off home run he tells his teammates |
01:58 - 02:02 | don't take my jersey off! Let me go to the changeroom. |
02:05 - 02:07 | He says his wife was embarrassed when he was topless |
02:10 - 02:11 | But his Insta... |
02:11 - 02:13 | His inst... |
02:15 - 02:17 | His Instagram has photos of him topless. |
02:17 - 02:20 | That's the best excuse he could come up with! |
02:21 - 02:28 | And then the Astros go on to win the World Series. |
02:29 - 02:30 | Still bashing the cans. |
02:30 - 02:32 | That's my man, A.J.! |
02:36 - 02:39 | They pretend nothing's going on when MLB investigates |
02:40 - 02:42 | "Uh, I don't know, what banging? Huh?" |
02:50 - 02:55 | Luhnow said he didn't know what happened. |
02:56 - 02:58 | The owner, Jim Crane, says he didn't know. |
02:58 - 03:04 | I'm sure he thought he kept buying trash cans just because. |
03:04 - 03:09 | Hey Jim, your trash can budget jumped 9,000% this year... |
03:09 - 03:11 | I can't believe they did it. |
03:16 - 03:20 | Banging on a damn trash can!!! |
03:23 - 03:26 | World Series Champions! |
03:31 - 03:36 | See you in Cooperstown, A.J.! |
