There is really no reason for Keuchel to be on 25 man roster.   He will be but it's a wasted spot because they have far better options.  He will not start a game so would you trust him to pitch in relief?

This take is worse than mine about the basepath.

Gagreed. It might piss off some of the veterans.

The box score tonight will probably tell you the pitchers who don't make the post season roster. With the exception of Kuechal, not sure he makes it either. As Atticus posted earlier. We can't afford to get down 3-5 runs in the 1st inning and he doesn't fit the relief profile.

Bunch of miserable fucks on this thread.  I'm sad that was probably DK's last regular season home start.  He was a huge part of bringing the franchise back from years of wandering the desert and his 2015 was about as good as it gets: starting the All Star game, Cy Young, winning the wild card game in Yankee stadium.

He's still been very good for long stretches this year and I don't see how anyone can think there are 4 better options to start in the playoffs.

Keuchel is what he is - a pretty good mid-rotation starter. His CY season was great, but not his norm. I'm not a huge fan of the guy because he says lots of stupid shit to reporters that serves no purpose. But he's a reasonably good pitcher. Of course he'll be on the playoff roster.

Kid Keuchel has been a huge part of this franchise’s rise from the ashes.   I’m a huge fan despite the ocassional big mouth and egg laid.  He’s got another playoff gem or two in the quiver, and I think he’ll make a few of you in here look pretty dumb.

It's going to be weird seeing him in another uniform.

I just hope he signs out of division.

you fuckers blaming Keuchel are ignoring the real problem.

@UTPhil2006 keeps going to home games and everyone he goes to, we've lost. I say we don't allow him to go to any more home games.

To be fair my record is 9-7.  8-7 if you take out the game in Arlington.  4 of the last 5 have been L's though.  Like Didi Gregorioius I lost my early season magic

Boss and I took some clients to last night's debacle. By the end we were basically saying "Hope you guys at least had fun drinking beer tonight, sorry for bringing you to the single worst home game of the season."

Always fun when you're about 5 minutes late for first pitch and it's already 3-0 before you get to your seats.

No quick fix for Correa’s slump:

We'll win the division but with Correa hitting like Ryan White and err'body else with baseball aids, we won't do much. That said, I would hate to play the As in a one game or short series. 

Tomorrow is the biggest game of the season, fortunately utphil is not going.

Yeah, only thing that makes sense is that Correa's back issues have screwed with him enough that he's just off at the plate (and unable to produce power). I wouldn't count on him being particularly effective in 2018. 

Still, if Altuve and Springer get hot in October, we figure to be about as good as anyone.

Springer is not in one of his slumps, but he's lost his power also.  With 3 out of their 4 best hitters banged up, I am not very optimistic about the playoffs.  That is tough to overcome.
