This week, Vanessa and Gallant react to Jeremy Peña's exciting walk-off homer against the Blue Jays on Sunday, and discuss whether they agree with Jared Carrabis' stunning comments about Jeremy Peña being better than former Astros star shortstop, Carlos Correa.
Later, we revisit Jose Altuve's comments about Peña before the season began, and share our thoughts on if Peña can live up to the numbers Altuve expects from the rookie.
Finally, will Peña's hot start to the season help him from a confidence standpoint when he has to deal with his first big league slump? Check out the video to find out!
In a move that sent shockwaves through the NBA, the Houston Rockets have pulled off a blockbuster trade for Kevin Durant, acquiring the superstar forward from the Phoenix Suns. The deal comes at a steep price—Houston parts ways with Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the 10th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, and five second-rounders.
In this episode, we react to the stunning trade and break down what it means for the Rockets’ future. Is parting with Green and Brooks too much, or a necessary step toward contention? We examine the risks tied to Durant’s age and injury history, and what losing a defensive anchor like Brooks means for a young, evolving roster.
We also dive into what KD brings to the table—his scoring ability, his contract situation, and whether he can truly be "the guy" on a team that’s looking to take the next step. And if he can’t stay healthy come playoff time… was the gamble even worth it?
The Rockets just pushed all their chips in. The question now: did they bet on the right hand?
Be sure to watch the video below as ESPN Houston's John Granato and Lance Zierlein share their thoughts on the newest addition to the Rockets.
