2019 Houston Astros Thread

It's just game 1, and it isn't even over, but if we don't advance the season can be basically summed up in 2 words:  Charlie Morton

I understood the logic of Luhnow letting him go, but in hindsight it may have been the difference.  Not just the perhaps different rotation order facing the Yankees, but the $ for Greinke might have gone to actual bullpen help at the deadline.  We have Harris and maybe Osuna we can rely on.

Did the Astros not want to match or was there something else?

I think it was partially money but more a concern of how effective they projected him to be over the life of the contract.

Please don't quote me, but I saw somewhere that Morton or someone in his family didn't like Houston. I'd blame the weather, but it's probably hotter and even more humid in Tampa.
