NeverOutNick Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I do remember watching Texas and have to be honest Ehlinger was so much more dynamic and fun to watch but Buechele was decent. Hopefully at the very least he provides good KC intel that expands Dorsey’s playbook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Required a lot of pencils and calculators, as I recall. I used to compile the stats from the box scores in the Buffalo News (Courier Express?) for my dad’s FF league as a teenager back in the late 70’s/early 80’s.

I'm not a Cubs fan, but that 1992 season is a perfect example of why people considered them cursed. Future Hall of Famers: peak Greg Maddux, Ryne Sandberg, old (but still could hit) Andre Dawson. Other really talented (Dunston) or really productive (Grace) players. How many teams with 3 future Hall of Famers on the roster for 4 or 5 years (and in their peaks or still productive) have underperformed so badly? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those "good stuff, wait till he learns how to pitch a bit" guys. Still waiting. I always mixed him up with Kelvim Escobar and I’m not sure why. Other than coming up around the same time they weren’t all that similar. I do wish the Chiefs would drop Mahomes Jr. and pick up Kelvim Escobar Jr. though. That would help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FilthyBeast Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Interesting that he chose to leave KC practice squad for Buffalo.

They've had some tough luck, but they've also been truly horrible situationally. I've completely soured on Bob Melvin. Worst part about it is that they've got so many of these guys locked in for the next 7-10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
