What concurrent KC duo in history would be 2nd to Mahomes-Witt? George Brett-Tom Watson? [Reply]
The defense did not lose us the game. Sure, Vinnie needs to play better but the Royals still would’ve needed to score and that seemed like it wasn’t gonna happen again last night if the game had gone 15 innings. Also, the Ace of the staff carries higher expectations in certain circumstances. Ragans overall numbers were good but he was spotted a 3-0 lead and pissed it away by giving up HRs to Rojas (a pretty average player) and a .100 hitting, 0 home run having Chris Taylor. I promise you Ragans owned this one after the game. [Reply]

You're calling Rojas average? He's historically one of the worst hitting position players in baseball. He's basically in the majors for his glove. [Reply]

Brett and DT played at the same time. Maybe them but I like your suggestion. [Reply]

It’s a very subjective deal. Maybe Brett and DT from a publicly loved perspective. But it’s hard to quantify based on “on the field” production. For instance, as great as Brett was, no one would argue he’s the GOAT. And Mahomes is already either there or at least in the conversation. As great as it seems BWJ is/will be, he’s got a ways to go to be compared to Tom Watson. Interesting topic with no “wrong” answer. [Reply]
