The Houston Astros have broken the seal of Brad Peacock in the starting rotation. He started last night in place of team ace Dallas Keuchel who is on the DL with a pinched nerve. Keuchel is only expected to miss one start and could return to the mound Saturday versus the Orioles. The move was one that was more precautionary. It could be reactive to another move to be made soon. Was this a spot-start by Peacock?
On this week’s Talking Stros on Sports Talk 790, my co-host Brandon talked about Peacock. We made predictions about how many innings he would pitch last night.
