Wonder how many other 'contending' teams out there, have a guy in the rotation making $18 million this season, with a 7.18 ERA?

None. But at the same time we are not a contending team now, and Keuchel is one of the reasons.  So it’s a chicken egg situation.

"How am I supposed to win out there on the mound, when the offense isn't scoring me any runs."

- Dallas Keuchel (Probably), after going down 6-0 in 2 innings of work.

Thanks GRF wind.

There come the boos.

At least they pretty much have to pull him from the rotation at this point.

Have yourself two weeks

Third three run homer and a grand slam mixed in this week.

 

Story has obliterated sliders and cutters for two weeks... great scouting report there guys.

Pretty safe to say that Keuchel is done for. Velasquez should be starting instead of Keuchel. 

Audible boos on the radio

Shocking that our off-season “additions” and keuchel haven’t panned out ? who would have thunk this??

They don’t even have any hits.  What’s a pitcher supposed to do.

Why you could never say we had a "great rotation" because the weakness we all knew would be exposed at the back end...just lacking in quality depth.

It was a predictable sure three run homer coming. DK should not have been pitching to hot hitting Story.  Fuck DK and TLR.   Another punted game.

This is a good test for our club.  

If we truly are going to be a competitive team, a division champ, and a team with postseason potential, then we should show it by coming back in a game like this.

Bullpen needs to shut it down and the offense needs to chip away and come back.  

I think Abreu is about to start mashing, at least.

Yet you know the postgame stories will be all about Dallas deflecting blame...offense not supporting him so he needed to be too fine, couldn't rely on Grandal, poor advance scouting, infielders masquerading as outfielders, etc.

Okay that was actually a great job by Jose to get a hit on that pitch. Credit where credit is due.

Just checking the score....Dallas gives up 3 in the 1st and another tres in the 2nd.  Any argument that he has value to this team is less and less strong every day.  I can't see why keeping him around is any better than just calling someone up in case of an injury. It is beyond time to move on.

Nah, Grandal will just roll over a grounder into the shift like normal.

Keuchel should have been used Monday as the mop up man. Choosing Keuchel over VV made no sense then, before this game started and quite obviously now. 

Yaz seems physically incapable of hitting a ball hard in the air right now

Let me tell ya something....Yasmani Grandal fkin sucks. Sorry.

I'll have what he's having....make it a double.  Let's do it!!!

It was unnecessary to give up 6 runs. Pitching DK to the hot red Sox was an insult to White Sox nation.

Literally is just money at this point. That's it. If it weren't about money, he'd be dfa'd. He belongs on the Knights rotation

This is too much optimism for you, Thad.

The Naylor comeback from six downfelt like a near miracle.  Well, let's see if they have any of that 2020 fighting spirit left over.

 

Nestor Cortes throwing yet another shutout tonight against TB...sheesh.

What do we have, like almost 65 million dollars tied up in Grandal, Keuchel, Harrison, Pollock and Kelly

No arguments from me there, especially when we have better options.
