If Keuchel is the teammate/leader he portrays himself to be, then he'd voluntarily take himself out of the rotation for Lopez

He is not going to do that.  He is a Cy Young Award winner who thinks he is still a Cy Young award winner type performer.

Dallas can be the opener for Lopez going forward. Lopez is hot, ride him. Or fuck that just bench Dallas insert Lopez. Works till it doesn't.

TLR will probably give him another start. It'll probably be against KC in KC. If he shits the bed again, there won't be any excuses left.

David Price immediately volunteered to pitch out of the Dodgers bullpen after being traded there. He's a better and more accomplished pitcher than Dallas.

Financial reasons aside, there is ZERO reason for Keuchel to be in the rotation over Lopez.

Now, do we make the right decision, or the financial one?

James Fegan has the night off, and there are no other media who will confront Tony with the question tonight, or beyond, unless Keuchel is toast the next time with James back.

Tony will bristle, but hopefully Hahn is looking at the busted windows he has after throwing a bunch of shit tonight, and is ready to discuss a bullpen demotion with Tony.

This team is too good to worry about Keuchel's feelings, and even if he goes toxic in the clubhouse, I don't see many, if any, taking his side.

Reynaldo Lopez earned the opportunity, Tony La Russa is the only person standing in his way. Based on his track record, and love of veterans, I don't feel they will make the move.

The way KC has played us he’s gonna get shelled

If he can't pitch against this Cubs lineup, he's not gonna fare well against the Royals. But they're probably just gonna say tonight was an anamoly and give him some more time to figure things out.

We all know the kind of person Dallas really is. He's one of those guys who will try to blame everything but himself when things go wrong. The dude is in it for himself and only himself.
