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

[soxfan1468927]

he alone gives me more hope heading into next week than i had

I still think the beating the Indians is a long shot, but damn he is killing it

PS - has this September re-entered him into the MVP convo?

Well it's certainly gotten him closer. I still think it's Altuve.

 

[Nosferatu]

Posted this on the AL East board Friday night. Thoughts @DirtDirtDirt ?

If I'm the Yanks, this would be my ALDS pitching rotation assuming Sevy pitches the WC game.

Game 1- Sonny Gray
Game 2- CC Sabathia
Game 3- Luis Severino
Game 4- Tanaka

Should be noted that I fully expect Joe to swap CC and Tanaka which will be a horrible move IMO.

CC road splits are so much better than Tanaka's.

7-3 with 3.18 ERA

I love how you talk like the WC game is already over...

Lol

So true

I'm terrified

Lol

So true

I'm terrified

Yeah because the Twins have absolutely no shot. lolzzz

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Yeah because the Twins have absolutely no shot. lolzzz

of course they do......One baseball game, it actually scares me that the Yankees have had their number in recent years, because in one game, that means diddly

They need to shorten the season by 3 games, and the last weekend (this weekend) should be a best 2 of 3 Wildcard weekend

I agree although I don't think they really need to shorten the season but it should be best of three no doubt.

yeah, just trying to figure out a way it could work....Cant imagine they would do it after 162 and stretch the season into November

Start the season a week earlier and try to make as many of the earlier season series' in warm weather states as possible and or schedule some double headers!

Damn, still think if he had a consistent season with the same numbers, instead of 2 horrible months, he would have won it

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Another HR for Greg Bird

Will be great

Scary. The rest of the AL wants the twins to win so badly next week. They don't want to see this team with that guy and that pen in the playoffs

I wonder if Gleyber could be projected as a leadoff hitter

Cause him/Bird/Sanchez/Judge would be a nice 1-4 for a while

 

[Cyder]

Well it's certainly gotten him closer. I still think it's Altuve.

I agree. Quite often the MVP goes to someone who's been on the doorstep if it isn't completely cut and dried and Altuve has built a very nice body of work.

 

[Cyder]

He still managed to get his walks even when he was slumping

I want that too!
