Friend of Nordhagen 45 Posted August 28, 2021 Lemme guess, Dallas . . . the heat? The day of the week? Grandal being back? The position of the outfielders? The infielders? The Cubs fans? The Sox fans? Whose fault is this one, Kuechel? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

South Side Hit Men 2,143 Posted August 28, 2021 If Dallas is DFAd, and a team picks him up, are the Sox responsible for the remainder of his contract, PLUS the 2023 vesting Hahn handed him if he pitches 160 innings next season? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harkness99 735 Posted August 28, 2021 well they gave up 13 runs last game.. lets hope we got something. this team continues to be unimpressive in the 2nd half of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's likely motivated given he'll be a free agent. I think the right team would take a flyer on a guy who two years ago was in the top 10 for cy young votes.

Leonard Zelig 368 Posted August 28, 2021 One time my softball team scored 9 runs in the top of the first and gave up 9 runs in the bottom. So there’s that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmags 8,258 Posted August 28, 2021 There is a reason most of the board had Keuchel as like the tenth option in the 2019 offseason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capn12 1,377 Posted August 28, 2021 I'm just glad Keuchel is doing his part, to make sure he doesn't pitch far into this game. He is only trying to make sure he doesn't hit the innings threshold in the contract. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vilehoopster 268 Posted August 28, 2021 Seriously, is Keuchel's contract over after this year, or does he still have another expensive year left with the Sox? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You’ve now got Keuchel, Kimbrel and Grandal if he can’t stay healthy. And Moncada needs to put up at least an 825-850 ops to be worth $20-25 million, etc. Edited August 28, 2021 by caulfield12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colome's Hat 248 Posted August 28, 2021 The problem with Keuchel is he's useless if he isn't starting. I wouldn't put him in the bullpen. I honestly think Tony has the guts not to put him on the postseason roster in the first round if he keeps pitching like this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another very expensive year. Maybe I’m missing something, but is his season next year the most expensive starting season in Sox history? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
