Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – January 2, 2014
Today on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I talk about the greatest moment of every baseball year: The moment a team wins it all and stands alone as the kings of baseball.
My fascination with the ending of the baseball year and how it is celebrated is something I can discuss for hours. Today I do so for a little more than 20 minutes.
And yes, I talk about that picture above of Charlie Hayes and Derek Jeter making the final out of the 1996 World Series.

Ortiz Is Almost Done Playing: Who Will Be The Next Great DH Among The AL Clubs??
David Ortiz has been the quintessential DH in the AL over the last 11 years. Boston is in contention perennially because he put up great #s compared to his competition. With all of the teams imploring several employees to scouting staffs – trying to find advantages to bring to Major League Lineups – why aren’t teams focusing on the DH position more. Ortiz has been a full time DH since joining the Red Sox, and has been instrumental in the club bringing home 3 World Series Titles. In fact, the only time the team has struggled in the last decade, was if “Big Papi” is hurt or struggling.

There is no doubt in my mind that the Red Sox has won 3 World Series Titles in the last 10 years because they have had the quintessential DH in the American League.
While other teams have used the position as a rest stop for aging players, or stop-gap measure for players with defensive faulty, clubs have not seemed to have stressed emphasis on the slot in the lineup.
My question is why? With everyone always searching for an edge in today’s game, you have one sitting right in front of you, that equates to over 600 AB a year.

Here is the 1st installment of Gambling 101. Again, these kind of numbers I am about to throw can be used in a multitude of different things.
Some people I have taught wheeling to have used them for charity events, office pools, or just pure fun if in Vegas or Canada.
I want to say that ‘gambling’ is always based on the house beating you. Like Robert DeNiro says is Casino “There is a reason they build these huge extravagant building in Las Vegas, the house always wins” Read the rest of this entry
