HOUSTON (SportsRadio 610) -- Aaron Judge trolling Jose Altuve on Saturday did not go unnoticed by the Astros.
Manager Dusty Baker said flat out, while he likes the Yankees' outfielder, he also thought the move was wrong.
Remember, Altuve beat out Judge for the 2017 American League MVP, and it was later found out the Astros stole signs on their way to a World Series that season.
Then in 2019, Altuve hit a walk-off homer against Yankees' closer Aroldis Chapman to send the Astros' to their second World Series in three seasons.
Somehow Altuve approaching home plate and telling teammates not to rip off his jersey turned into one of the wildest baseball conspiracy theories -- that the Astros also used buzzers to steal signs (unfounded and debunked).
Altuve was actually trying to hide a botched tattoo, which never seemed to be an acceptable explanation from the baseball community.
So Judge tugged on his jersey after homering off Zack Greinke on Saturday.
"I noticed what he did," Baker said. "That was wrong. That's my homeboy, but that's wrong, but they can do what they want to do."

Maldonado went opposite field off Jameson Taillon in the third inning of Sunday's game. The Astros had been shut out in the previous two games against the Yankees, and lost 2-1 to the A's in their series finale against the division rival.
Theatrics aside, it was good for Astros fans to see their squad finally score a run, and get out of the ballpark.
This, though, added a bit of charm from the Machete.
It even appears the Astros' social media team got in on the fun.
