Wasn't a naysaying Astros fan saying that they didn't believe Keuchel would be able to perform?

Also as much as he owns he missed half the season with a back issue and is at almost 110 pitches, if he comes out for the 8th I might be angry

Although he's shown no reason to pull him so I don't know :ohdear:

Yeah I'm on the fence there. He's on fire, but you also want him to be healthy for game 4

Super spicy take: I can't stand Keuchel. I think he's an rear end and a glass cannon and doesn't deserve the Ace Pitcher mythos they try to generate around him because of his 14-15 success. :shrug:

I'm anxious every time he starts, just waiting for the meltdown.

Intruder posted:

Keuchel is a lot like Roy Oswalt was. Even in his best starts he'll have one inning where he kind of craters. Sometimes he'll get out of it without giving up runs by the skin of his teeth, others he won't

(This is probably true for most pitchers, but hey-o confirmation bias)

(Unless we count the Altuve error I don't think he cratered this game)

simble posted:

Here's my hot take - Dallas Keuchel is on the same career trajectory as Ian Kennedy. He will have 1 great year (already happened) several mediocre to decently good years and will burn out quickly.

That being said, let's go 'stros!

It's a trend with him, tonight he didn't display it but that's probably because he owns the Yankees for some reason

I just know that I've pitched multiple perfect games with Keuchel in MLB the Show, while I struggled to get a no-hitter with anyone else.

I'm fine with Devo over Harris. Harris has been shaky since coming off the DL
