MLB Daily Thread: 9/25/2017: AL East Lead at 5 games, D-backs clutch win & Kershaw wins his 18th

Red Zone showed a lot of it

nice downfield dimes.

a bunch.

the pats defense has given up 13 plays of 20+ yards thru 3 games.

Oh yeah, 25 out of the 31 picks made in the little group we have here were either the Pats, Packers, Broncos, Steelers, or Dolphins.

I have a buddy that's in one of those huge ones with over 20,000 people for something like 1.6 million, texted me that if the Pats and Packers lost, it would have been down to 370 people in Week 3.

He had the Pats, but that's sick

"whats up girly girl?"

god his commercials all bother me

4 three and outs in the game for the offense doesn't help. Especially late in the game not being able to pick up 3rd and 1 on back to back possessions. Plus it was freaking hot yesterday. Both defenses got gassed.

And gotta give credit to Watson, he looked good.

That's awesome. I originally was leaning towards the Packers this week. I might have to reevaluate. Just seems early season they struggle against bad teams.

5 home runs in the last 6 games for Judge puts him just 1 behind McGwire's rookie record.

Stanton also just 3 away from 60 HRs.

Bellinger's HR on Friday gave him 39 on the season, passing Wally Berger and Frank Robinson for most by an NL rookie.

Bill O'Brien is a terrible coach

He is getting hot at the right time. Just hoping we win that WC game so we can see what he does at in a series

Judge's scorching September makes things more interesting from a Yankee perspective, starting next week.....He's that bat that can change a lot of predicted outcomes

Bill O'Brien is a terrible coach

Ive said it for 2 years....Guys have to hate playing for that guy

Brady was great and deserves a ton of credit, but when you can win in Foxboro on 4th and One, you dont say "Here Tom go beat us"

 

[soxfan1468927]

Bill O'Brien is a terrible coach

The fact that they didn't get 2 plays off at the end of the game and instead had to go for a Hail Mary was so bad.

lol

no he isnt. just a brain fart in bills house, happens to a lot of coaches. hes arguably the most successful of the belichek tree. hes take a shit texans offense to 3 straight 9-7 seasons and the playoffs.

And forgotten horrible decision making by O'Brien. Challenging the pass from Brady to Gronk at the end of the 3rd quarter. If they won the challenge, Pats punt from Houston's 46. If they lose the challenge, Pats punt from the Houston 38. Lost a timeout for nothing.

meanwhile, the Yanks lose 2 of 3 to a last place team

Random note that Saquan Barkley on Penn State is insane

scary to think what he can do now that he has a decent OL in front of him. Michigan did a pretty good job holding him in check in 2015 and 2016.

 

[redseat]

Aaron Rodgers too

Bill Obrien has gotta be a coach players hate playing for

Yeah but his former players love him!

 

[redseat]

is Verlander really 4-0 with a 0.63 ERA with the Astros... Holy shit!

He gets steamrolled every postseason

He goes to the postseason SOLELY on the merits of playing in a God awful division

He is supposed to be some QB whisperer, he has had 9 QB's in 3 years, and he just had an entire preseason to name a starting QB, and he yanked him after one half of football

That guy is as bad as they come

The strength of that team, the defense, has very little to do with him
