I think that's right. Steve Buechele was always that guy on the verge of a breakout. Solid third baseman, looked like he was gonna have an All Star quality season or two. But a long and successful career nonetheless. 3 minutes ago, Ridgewaycynic2013 said: Can that former MLBer play MLB?

JohnNord Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 From what I read, he was having a very good preseason, which doesn’t mean much considering he was playing with backups against backups. BUT Kyle Allen was I a. Similar situation and didn’t look so great…so who knows? I think the KC intel angle is somewhat overplayed. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually still the best way of doing it. Rated on your rank in the league on batting average (yeah, sucky real world stat, but it was easy to get every week in the USA Today), HR, RBI, SBs. And then Wins, Strikeouts, ERA, Saves. Despite the crude "counting stats" by today's analytical era, the winners generally reflected what worked in real-world baseball. Good fun. But the fool who said "Steve Buechele is ready to break out this season" never won it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBonhamRocks Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 His draft profile, which tabs him as a priority UDFA: Resilient, undersized quarterback who lost his job at Texas but ended up putting together a nice two-year run at SMU. While Buechele was productive and won games, he lacks the mobility, size and arm strength teams typically look for out of a pro quarterback. He has a good football IQ, which gives his draft hopes some life, but ultimately, it will be difficult to stick around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny and related to your comment, Pat Mahomes Sr won me a fantasy title a couple of decades ago. I picked him up for a spot start on the last day of the season and his stat line was 7.0IP, 10K's, 0 runs, win, no walks and 3 hits allowed. He was a middle reliever for the Mets but they started him that day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s something that is a 4 generation grudge. At least. You need to enforce it.

Punching Bag Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 37 minutes ago, HOUSE said: I stayed up all night for this ?? Of course - you need practice on staying up all night. https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2023/08/31/kansas-city-chiefs-brett-veach-reveals-status-shane-buechele-roster-cuts/ Quote “Still, when you have these young guys that are likely to be gone, you want to see that through. I think sometimes you have to make tough decisions. Obviously, Shane is a good football player. And you know, we love having him around. You know, certainly gonna miss him.” Buechele played well in the first two preseason games but struggled with two interceptions as the starter for last Saturday’s preseason finale against the Cleveland Browns. “It was just one of those things where at the end of the day, we always say this all the guys at the end of the day, like make our jobs easy and put it on tape, and that’s where Blaine (Gabbert) came out and won the job,” Veach continued. “It doesn’t make it any easier because I think there was a lot of trust and belief in Shane Buechele and loved him as a player but it wasn’t an easy decision. I think just from a roster management standpoint, and trying to navigate through the D-Line and (Charles) Omenihu suspension and wanting some extra corners because they’re young. They’re just sometimes rostered. As soon as Yeah, decisions you have to make. And that was what we felt was best at this time.” If you cannot beat them (in playoffs) hire someone who might have some intel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
