Houston Astros: A look at the Top 10 Dallas Keuchel moments

With Dallas Keuchel signing with the Atlanta Braves, it’s time for reflection. Here are the Top 10 moments Keuchel has had with the Houston Astros.

Houston Astros fans — let’s reiterate — Dallas Keuchel is now a member of the Atlanta Braves. While it is another dose of reality for the business of baseball, we cannot thank Keuchel for his contributions to our successful era in Houston Astros history.

When the season started, the Houston Astros were missing Keuchel. They were missing their former ace on the team mainly because he was holding out for a new contract. Of course, the chances of him returning to Houston weren’t that good of coming back because of the team’s hesitancy to part ways with draft picks.

Sure, Keuchel wanted a five-year deal, but as of right now, he appears to be content with signing a one-year deal for a reported $20 million, which is expected to be prorated down seven million. But while it is disappointing to see Keuchel in another uniform, we wouldn’t be in this position without him. Yes, we’re going to miss that beard and we’re glad he won’t be shaving it off any time soon like we would if it happened against the Yankees.

A while back, I wrote a tribute to Marwin Gonzalez and the greatest home run hit in franchise history. I can’t do the same thing for Keuchel because there are a lot of moments throughout his career. So I’ve decided to come up with the Top 10 best moments of Keuchel’s career as an Astro. Some of these moments will be on the field while others will have taken place off the field as well. So with that said, let’s begin our countdown from 10 to one.
