Episode 374 – Nov. 01, 2013

The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast continues into the off season.

I want a decent World Champion Red Sox T-Shirt, but most of them are just ugly.

Meanwhile Derek Jeter’s insanely rich contract has led to an interesting Twitter exchange.

@sullybaseball @Buster_ESPN they need a draw to do that. Jeter is currently their biggest draw…

The Boston Red Sox are having their World Series victory parade today. And I am jealous of all the Bostonians who get to go and celebrate there while I am stuck in dreary California.

But instead of whining about it, I gave a call to my dear friend, the writer with a wonderful comedic mind, Jen Deaderick. She was at the parade with her daughter and she described the day over the phone on today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Episode 376 – Nov. 03, 2013

Today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast is not so much a Sunday Request as it is a Sunday Response.

Andrés du Bouchet is one of the funniest and most talented comedic minds currently breathing in oxygen and breathing out carbon dioxide on the planet Earth. As an Emmy nominated writer and frequent performer on Conan, his brilliant comedic imagination and performing style can be seen on national TV.

And I had the privilege of seeing him as a sketch performer in the late 1990s and 2000s in venues all around New York.

A big sports fan and a lifelong Mets supporter, Andrés went to Twitter to question the adoration of David Ortiz after the 2013 World Series.

So, when the inevitable evidence finally turns up that Ortiz has been on PEDs for the entire Boston portion of his career, is baseball over?

— Andrés du Bouchet (@dubouchet) October 31, 2013

I just think it’s a shame that a city’s biggest folk hero has so clearly been a PED user since he got there. Nothing against Boston.

— Andrés du Bouchet (@dubouchet) October 31, 2013

Meanwhile ESPN continues to mythologize the knucklehead.

— Andrés du Bouchet (@dubouchet) November 1, 2013

If he were a Yankee fan, I’d chalk it up to sour grapes and remind him that Andy Pettitte was practically deified in September.

But I decided to actually respond, not as a Red Sox fan, but as a baseball observer. Why does David Ortiz and Andy Pettitte get off Scott Free while the likes of A-Rod have to fight for their baseball lives.

My conclusion is that PED’s don’t really enter into the thought process.

Episode 377 – Nov. 04, 2013

Free Agent pickings are slim if you are looking for a star. Teams know NOT to let elite players under 30 walk. So offer these free agents more than 3 years at your own risk.

Also the Tigers continue a strange trend of managerial hires where previous coaching experience is not required.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – November 4, 2013

Episode 378 – Nov. 05, 2013

The controversy over where the A’s are going to play is hitting a petty and infantile fever pitch.
And MLB is FINALLY acting like a parent in the situation.

What does this have to do with my son’s dinosaur toy?

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – November 5, 2013

Episode 379 – Nov. 06, 2013

The Astrodome is going to be demolished. And with it goes any uniqueness of the Astros-franchise.

Here is the Sully Baseball video from 2011 about the Astros identity.

Episode 380 – Nov. 07, 2013

Today on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I review the finalists for the off season awards and give a good long look at the results of Who Owns Baseball (WOB.)

WOB was my great experiment to try and track players value based upon how they became the big performer of individual days, taking in account stats and the significance of the game.

Four of the final names very well might line up with the real awards.

But why are Matt Moore and R.A. Dickey there? Is that a flaw in WOB? Or is it a flaw in US?

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – November 7, 2013

Episode 381 – Nov. 08, 2013

Today on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast I point out some things that we never seem to learn every off season:

The teams that dominate the off season are rarely the team that wins and inevitably some player we all wrote off will become the great hero of the next October.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – November 8, 2013

Episode 382 – Nov. 09, 2013

Today on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I chatted with ESPN Insider writer and the creator of ZiPS, Dan Szymborski.

We talked about internet arguments, why fans will learn the wrong lesson from the 2013 Red Sox, predicted which teams would go on ill advised spending sprees and other topics.

It is time for The Sunday Request on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

@sullybaseball wondering what your thoughts are on #TomVerducci‘s #bonusbatter idea. I kind of like it. http://t.co/8AkeWUMR6y

— Mike (@Boston_Braves) November 7, 2013

I’m not against changes nor do I cling to tradition. But I am not sure I am in line with Verducci’s scheme.

Episode 384 – Nov. 11 , 2013

Oakland Athletics left handed reliever Sean Doolittle was the guest on today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

He talked about his career, the A’s, having two Champagne celebrations in three days and an interesting story about Josh Donaldson and his knowledge of a pitcher he faced in a critical game.

To Listen to Part 2, just scroll down some more….

Today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast is the second part of my conversation with A’s relief pitcher Sean Doolittle.

I took questions from some of my Oakland A’s fan friends and passed them along to Sean.

And along the way, we got to the bottom of the meaning of a unicorn and the identity of a juggler. It all makes sense.

To listen to Part 1 of the conversation, listen below.

The Manager of the Year Award went to Terry Francona and NOT John Farrell.

I did not agree with the results but as a Red Sox fan, I’m not going to get worked up about it. Francona winning was similar to Morgan Freeman winning the Oscar for Million Dollar Baby and NOT The Shawshank Redemption. The analogy makes sense. Trust me.

That and also Ervin Santana’s contract demands on today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

The MVP race has been decided. The debate over who should win the MVP? That is far from over. And I for one hope they never come up with a universal formula for the award.

That and more on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Episode 389 – Nov. 16, 201

I talk a little Seattle Mariners Baseball on today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

The only city that has never hosted a World Series could turn things around if they learned the CORRECT lessons taught by the 2013 Red Sox. And with Felix Hernandez on the team, they have taken big steps towards the World Series.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – November 16, 2013

Episode 390 – Nov. 17, 2013

Today on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I pay tribute to Tom Seaver on his 69th birthday.

The man who meant so much to the Mets kept being traded or drafted away from the team. And actually could have been the latest in the line of Dodger greats.

And lest we forget, he was also one of my favorite announcers ever.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – November 17, 2013

Episode 391 – Nov. 18, 2013

Going into the 2014 season, is it better to be a Yankees fan, a Phillies fan or an Astros fan?

Don’t answer right away. It is a hard philosophical question on today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

It takes a great effort to make Alex Rodriguez look like a sympathetic figure.

Give Bud Selig credit for making that effort!

A nice impromptu rant fills today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – November 20, 2013

Episode 394 – Nov. 21, 2013

Today on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I break down the Ian Kinsler for Prince Fielder shocking blockbuster. The Rangers infield is set but the Tigers cut bait with Prince before he will inevitably break down.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – November 21, 2013

Episode 395 – Nov. 22, 2013

Not all conspiracy theories are crazy. And A-Rod’s paranoia might not be unfounded.

Today on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I discuss the Alex Rodriguez conspiracy and other potentially true schemes.

Also I wish my wife a happy birthday.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – November 22, 2013

Episode 396 – Nov. 23, 201

Today The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast looks at Chicago… a big market city that certainly isn’t acting like one with their baseball teams.

Both stink. The White Sox have hope. The Cubs have a long term rebuilding… REALLY long term.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – November 23, 2013

Episode 397 – Nov. 24 2013

It is THE SUNDAY REQUEST on today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

@sullybaseball I’d like to hear your take on “East Coast Bias”…

— Daryl Spitzer (@yacitus) November 22, 2013

Sure there is some East Coast Bias.
It might not be as strong as you would think. And it may also be somewhat justified.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – November 24, 2013

Episode 398 – Nov. 25, 2013

Jhonny Peralta signed a gigantic contract after being suspended for PEDs. Should there be a bigger punishment for PED users? Do we really want one?

Those questions and more on today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – November 25, 2013

Episode 399 – Nov. 26, 2013 (not Sully’s 400th episode as previously thought, but 399)

It is Episode Number 400 of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast! As I reached that big number, I think about some other baseball numbers that we may never see passed.

And I share why I think someone will have back to back no hitters and pass Joe DiMaggio’s hitting streak.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – November 26, 2013

Episode 400 – Nov. 27, 2013

It is important to be negative and to consolidate our hate. Brian McCann is my least favorite player and he’s a Yankee! Hooray! And the Diamondbacks continue being phony tough.

Lots of reasons to be negative on today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
