The Dallas Keuchel thread (what went wrong, how to fix it)

If you look at Dallas's advanced stats like FIP and xFIP they aren't really all that bad. Last year he was a little better than what his advanced stats said he should be. This year they are much worse. His BABIP is 331. I think he is just getting very unlucky. I would try to sign him to a long term deal with his depressed value.

Keuchel has been good over the last 5 starts. Hinch left him in for one inning too long against Texas, if not for that inning 4 of his last 5 would look really good.

More noticeably in those 32 innings he has a 34 to 3 K/BB ratio, and nearly a 2 to 1 GB rate. So he's getting ground balls, striking people out, and not walking people. I think he's gonna be fine moving forward, but I could use a string of good starts without having to add a qualifier before I start to feel really good about him.
