Yeah, yeah, it’s not good to be at .500 since the All-Star break. And it’s not nice to have a worse second-half record than Detroit. And it’s unpleasant to have to wait another day to clinch the AAAL Central and to fall darn near hopelessly behind the Astros for home field advantage in the AL Division Series.
But at least we got one important question answered today, namely, is Dallas Keuchel worth having on a postseason roster if Carlos Rodón or another starter can’t go?
The answer to which is a resounding, “NO!!!”
Despite Angel Hernandez providing him with a strike zone the width of Lake Huron—not a gift often being made to other pitchers from either team—Keuchel made it very clear he’s not ready for prime time anymore.
