Astros starting pitcher Collin McHugh shared his thoughts Monday on what Donald Trump excused away as "locker room talk."

After a video was leaked last week of the Republican presidential nominee making raunchy comments about his fame giving him the ability to grab women by their genitals, Trump tried to dismiss those words.

"It's locker room talk, and it's one of those things," said Trump at Sunday's town-hall debate.

Athletes around the country took to social media Sunday night to refute that those things are said in their locker rooms, but McHugh went a bit further. Although he admitted to hearing vulgar talk in locker rooms as well as out in a number of public paces, McHugh went to Instagram and posted a photo of the coffee maker in the Astros' clubhouse with a long comment explaining what Astros' locker room talk is actually like.

"Baseball talk. Swinging, pitching, home runs, double plays, shifts," McHugh wrote. "The rush of victory and the frustration of defeat. Family talk. Nap schedules for our kids. Loneliness of being on the road so much. Off-season family vacations. And most importantly, coffee talk! The best places to find quality #coldbrew. What's currently brewing on the #aeropress in the empty locker between me and Doug, affectionately known as #CafeStros? How strong do you need it today? Kid wouldn't sleep last night? I'll make it a little stronger for ya.

"Maybe Mr. Trump does talk like that in his country club locker room. Perhaps he's simply not privy to the kind of conversations that take place in other locker rooms. But as for me and my @astros team, our "locker room talk" sounds absolutely nothing like his. And I couldn't be more proud of that."
