Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – August 15, 2013
I recorded today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast outside of The Rose Bowl. No really I did.
Maybe YOP isn’t the right reliever stat… maybe it is YOLUP!
Aaron Hill, Jarred Cosart, Francisco Liriano and once again Alfonso Soriano all owned baseball on August 14, 2013.

The Indians 1st Year Under Francona Should End Up A Success – Even If It Doesn’t Mean Playoffs

The Cleveland Indians are having a decent second half, but will it be enough to make the playoffs? It shouldn’t really matter to Indians fans because they have a great future ahead of them. They have a great manager in Terry Francona and great young players in Jason Kipnis, Michael Bourn, Asdrubal Cabrera and many more. The truth is that they just are not in the same competitive stratosphere as the Detroit Tigers at the present time. They have a better chance to reel in a Wild Card Position. As of today, they are 3.5 Games Behind Wild Card Leader #1 holder (Tampa Bay) – and are 3 Games Behind the Oakland Athletics for the 2nd spot.

The Cleveland Indians have had a tremendous season under first year manager Terry Francona. It isn’t very often for a team like Cleveland to get a manager of his caliber.
Francona broke the curse in Boston, can he break the streak of Championshipless in Cleveland – since the days of Bob Feller via 1948?
I wrote an article right before the All-Star Break stating that the Indians would make a run in the second half and make the playoffs.
Well the best player on the planet Miguel Cabrera has spoiled that idea with all the Home Runs he has been hitting here lately. The Indians can’t make up any ground on the Tigers and they are running out of time.
It might not be this season but give Francona some time, he will make Cleveland a contender in no time.
