The most soul-crushing storyline of the Astros’ 2016 season has been Dallas Keuchel’s early devolution from Cy-Young Award Winner into Lucas Harrell. And if it hurts to read that, it should.
Keuchel entered play on Monday with a team-worst 5.32 ERA. The Crawfish Boxes has spilled no little amount of digital ink discussing the Astros’ ace’s ailing aura. (Also, check out reader rattler03’s excellent look at Keuchel’s season in the Fan Posts.)
Results are what matter most, and there’s no getting around the fact that Keuchel’s have been poor this season.
