AJ FMAN AS A TIGHER SERIES
Hinch guided Houston to the 2017 World Series title, but that championship - and a lot of what he accomplished there - is now viewed in a different light after an investigation found the Astros used a video feed from a center field camera to decode the opposing catcher’s signs, and players banged on a trash can to signal to hitters what was coming. He takes over a team that has been rebuilding for the past few years.
The 46-year-old Hinch replaces Ron Gardenhire, who retired late this season. “I’m sorry that today, that has to be a topic, and I understand why.” I’ll never forget the feeling that I’ve had throughout the past year as I’ve navigated this with my family, but you quickly get to the exciting time of getting back and leading a group of men again, and establishing what Tigers baseball’s going to be all about. “I’ve said that before, I’ll say it again, I’ll continue to say it. “I understand the question and I understand how wrong it was, and I’m sorry for that,” Hinch said. It may take a while for Hinch to overcome the stigma of what happened in Houston, but he and his new bosses were ready to address the topic Friday. Digital Replica Edition Home Page Close Menu
