I am not so sure it was a reaction to "match their move". More of a holy **** moment. The Mets took on a ridiculous amount of money for Max. An amount the Astros' level-headed guys never expected. Once 50 M was in play from the Mets, JV became realistically attainable.texasaggie2015 said:
It's not even that. It's just baseball. You want to win the division, the division leader makes a big move so you counter with your own. Any other team in any sport would try to do the same. I don't get how it's obsession.
I also don't get the personal shots they take at me over there.. I've never done anything. Dingleberry, Fat Ketch, etc. I could lose a few pounds but geeze.

Dubon, Julks, Peña. Rough
Pena takes an 0 for 5
That's also a fair point. I suspect it was a little bit of both.
Peña hacking at a slider in the dirt…. As usual.
OPS does not lie
especially at this point in the season

Pena is only good in the 2 when Altuve is in the 1.

Imagine if you're the team that gets Scherzer instead of Verlander
Sour grapes
It wasnt a reaction to the Rangers. Mets moving Scherzer changed their whole plan for the next year and a half. Verlader wants to win more. He wasn't going to stay and help them bring along prospects.
Good news is if needed we have Tuck, Bregs, Yordan due up in the 9th.
Need a drama free 9th here
Dubon error.
That was a swing.

Dubon having a game to forget
Guys, we traded 2 prospects to NY to have them pick up the majority of JVs market value. That's the best value anyone in baseball is going to find and sign this year.
Compare those 2 prospects to to what we'll get when we we spend that $50m we saved.

Dubon
Good lord
Dubon with a game to forget.
Dubon single-handedly trying to lose this game
We used to have a stellar defensive team
9-1-2 goes 0-12
Everyone else 10-21

Well Altuve can't have many more days off
Jeez Dubon
the Astros needed a no-hitter to survive Yordan's day off

Thanks for the heads up. I have the Space City one and the original one. I wear them so much, they are faded. I'm getting both for my collection.
I wouldn't blame Dusty if he defensive sub'd Kess in the middle of this inning.

Somebody Move the mic please
Uh oh
