Leave him in. Save the pen. He can go at least 5

He’s been efficient too.

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?

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.

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.

America this month has seen quite a show by Tim Anderson with everything he’s done on all of these national telecasts we’ve been on.

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. 

Goin to bed.

Y'all.

Luis.....beefy.

love seeing tim protect his legs.

10-6!

This Robert kid seems good.

It's remarkable that Robert can look so good at the plate given how long of a layoff he had. What a special player he is & will be in the future.

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. 

After the 6-0 start this looks like we are playing the Windy City Thunderbolts

Abreu quietly back up to .261/27/99
