that does take him off the board for us but I think we're looking more at bullpen and CF help than starting pitching right now

Yeah it was bittersweet in KC. We finally won a series against our nemesis the Cleveland Indians (I still call them the Indians but officially Guardians), and we signed Lugo long term. And the same day came the news our All-Star starter Bubic is out with injury till possible next season.
We are stuck now with 45 year old Rich Hill as a starter. Bittersweet day in KC

Higheyecue, since you are such a big baseball ⚾️ fan and the same age I think you remember how fun it was when we were kids and you first heard about great feats and big names. One of the big things I remembered hearing like a playground legend around 89’ my first year getting deep into it was:
“Babe Ruth once hit 3 homers in a game”
and in KC we had Bo Jackson then and it was “Bo hit 3 homers in a game once.”
But we thought these guys were superhuman. To see this little white guy that’s a rookie hit 4 for the A’s along with two more hits 6 for 6 is mind blowing.

I was too young to remember this in real time but that home run that Bo Jackson hit in the all-star game in 1989 sends chills to my spine whenever I see highlights of it...the fact that he could play in the NFL as a running back and also be an outfielder with the Royals and excelling at both is crazy...also that MNF run that he had that always get replayed when he hit the end zone and just kept running

Rich Hill...we signed him in that year after the COVID hoax when Jacob DeGrom went down after the All-Star break...he pitched decent enough for us but I was thinking at the time what are we doing with a 40 something year old starter lol
damn it sucks about Bubic...I guess he has a similar injury that Ragans has...you guys have a scrappy team though, you'll find a way to get through it
Sccit:
rich hill started is nasty work

That was the first year I got deep into it. What a great year 89’ was, Bash Brothers Canseco and McGuire, and Royals made a run at the A’s with the emergence of Danny Tartubul. Reds and skinny cokehead (buddy of Strawberry and Gooden) Eric Davis upset the A’s in the World Series.
Was the year Bo Jackson was part of back-to-back homeruns to start the All-Star game. It was 89 so you were probably 7, you might have been old enough. I was watching TV when it happened—it was one of those classic Bo Jackson moments I actually got to witness in real time. My first game I went to was also that year and I still remember we lost 7-1 and Bo had 3 deep fly outs.
In football he played for KC rival the Raiders.
Fun Fact: the Royals also drafted Deion and Dan Marino but weren’t able to sign them. Pat Mahomes also got drafted to MLB and owns a small percent of the Royals.
How could you miss 89’ homie? That was like the best year ever in baseball ⚾️.
(I missed 88’—and arguably the greatest moment in sports history the Kirk Gibson homer against the A’s in the bottom of the 9th. But I remember everything from 89’. Just like I missed everything of the Pistons back-to-back but know everything from the Bulls first championship run)
