If anyone could get into the HOF for a single postseason performance alone, it’s Hoch. He had what, 10.2 innings and zero earned runs? Might not have won G2 of the ALCS and G4 and G5 of the WS without him. Dude was just utter nails.

Maybe my WTF for Beltran was a bit harsh. He was pretty damn good for KC. But still, no one outside of us remembers him as a Royal and he was here so long ago, just still would seem weird to throw him in the HOF.

Hochevar also had a tremendous 2013 season - if not for TJ surgery, he’s in the pen for 2014 (but also that would have meant Wade’s transition from starter to reliever is either delayed substantially or might not have even occurred at all) Still if hindsight is 20-20 and Hochevar is not hurt at all and Royals still put Wade in pen regardless, boy what I would give to get us back to G4 WS with 4-1 lead T4, PH for Vargas and just let it ride with Luke and then onto HDH for 18 outs and get a stranglehold on that series and close them out in 6 at the K.... |

I know people still talk about sending Gordon home in the 9th inning of game 7 in 2014, but the thing I always bring up is wishing that Ned had only let Guthrie go the first 3 innings & then turned it over to HDH to pitch from there on out in game 7 of the 2014 WS.
The game would have been tied at 2 going into the 10th inning. MadBum vs the Royals bullpen. |

Is Joe Delaney in the Chiefs Ring of Honor? Unsure if he is or not, but similar thought process there, I think. Last edited by Chiefspants; 03-05-2021 at 01:02 PM.. |

So perplexing why they put him on the list. It's almost like they don't like him and they are trolling him. He was one of the Royal's worst starting pitchers ever in the last 10 years. |

Wildly different circumstances. I just took your question to mean that we should stay focused on their efforts on the field and asked about Joe wondering if there was a soft precedent when a career is cut short due to tragic circumstances like that.

Nick Pratto seems to be having a good spring so far.
