Episode 859 – Mar 01, 2015

It is Sunday and time for The Sunday Request.

@sullybaseball Sunday request: There are 6 new MLB managers in 2015. Which one(s) will have winning record(s)?

— Peter Sonski (@29sonski) March 1, 2015

These new managers are so anonymous that I had to look them all up to remind me who the hell they are, except for Maddon of course.

Plus I remember Minnie Minoso on today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Episode 860 – Mar 02, 2015

Comedian Erin Foley returns for part 2 of our conversation where we talk fantasy baseball, her hatred of A-Rod and all sorts of other things that only two old friends can do.

It is an irrational anger episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Episode 861 – Mar 03, 2015

Spring Training Games have begun and they are exciting, if not meaningless.

Meanwhile I try to give Erin Foley good fantasy baseball advice and David Wright gave the Mets a lesson in how to eat lunch.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – March 3, 2015

Episode 862 – Mar 04, 2015

Spring Training Games have begun. A change in the baseball schedule can make the Cactus and Grapefruit League games valuable in selecting the All Star Team.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – March 4, 2015

Episode 863 – Mar 05, 2015

Ten years ago today, my twin sons were born.

So much has happened in baseball in the decade since they arrived. So many amazing names, careers and moments have transpired.

I can only imagine what the next ten will bring.

It is a proud pappa episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – March 5, 2015

Episode 864 – Mar 06, 2015

While washing dishes, I thought of the purpose of the play by play announcer. Are they supposed to educate us or are they supposed to be a companion.

That and and a Ritch Duncan mouse story episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Episode 865 – Mar 07, 2015

I recorded today’s episode along a big empty field in Fremont California.

If everything had gone according to plan, the Athletics would have had their stadium and called this patch of land home. As you can see, it didn’t happen.

Sully Baseball Podcast – March 7, 2015

Episode 866 – Mar 08, 2015

It is Sunday and time for The Sunday Request.

@sullybaseball Here is a Sunday Topic for you, the Odd Numbered Year Curse and Hunter Pence’s broken Arm. Unreal.

— Jim Furlong (@EWOKinLA) March 5, 2015

The Giants lineup is thin enough that losing Pence for any length of time isn’t going to be fun. Man, this even year odd year thing is starting to get creepy! Let’s talk defending champs on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

@CblackCHC It happens my friend. Thanks for the concern, it’s a part of the game we love. No slowing down!

— Hunter Pence (@hunterpence) March 6, 2015

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – March 8, 2015

Episode 867 – Mar 09, 2015

Two high profile and highly paid former World Series hero third basemen are in the news.

One is the reviled Alex Rodriguez of the team I hate the most, the Yankees.

The other is the lovable “Kung Fu Panda” Pablo Sandoval, who moved from my second favorite team, the World Champion Giants, to my favorite team, the Red Sox.

So why is Alex Rodriguez earning my respect and Pablo is making me think “Shut up, Panda”?

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – March 9, 2015

Episode 868 – Mar 10. 2015

Can you imagine being so spoiled as a baseball fan that you actually can’t recall the events of your team winning a World Series?

That has happened with some Yankees, Red Sox, Giants and Cardinals fans I know.

Perhaps that is the ultimate achievement for a franchise: Having titles lost in the shuffle.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – March 10, 2015

Episode 869 – Mar 11, 2015

Oh injuries… how they make Spring Training not fun.

Yu Darvish and Marcus Stroman might lose their seasons.

Cliff Lee? His career could be over. It is a big league tenure worth saluting.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – March 11, 2015

Episode 870 – Mar 12, 2015

Did you know Alex Rodriguez was having a good spring training?

Did you even know that A-Rod was AT spring training?

You wouldn’t know that if you were following the Yankees on Twitter.

That and the San Diego Padres rebuilding process continues to be passionate but reckless.

Have some people forgotten to have fun?

How can anyone REALLY be upset about Will Ferrell playing in spring training games?

And who was more fun than Dontrelle Willis when he burst onto the scene? He is retiring and getting his due respect.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – March 14, 2015

Episode 873 – Mar 15, 2015

It is Sunday and time for The Sunday Request.

@SN_Baseball @sullybaseball The DH would be an excellent series of podcasts.

— ExiledMetFan (@ExiledMetFan) March 9, 2015

I see absolutely no need to have uniformity in the leagues. Having the DH in one league and not the other is something I love about baseball.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – March 15, 2015

Episode 874 – Mar 16, 2015

Today your pal Sully acted in a movie called “The Wrong Stuff”. It is written and directed by Brett Rapkin, who previously made a documentary about the same subject, former Red Sox pitcher Bill Lee.

That film, entitled Spaceman – A Baseball Odyssey, also featured yours truly.

I play a mailman opposite Josh Duhamel, who plays Bill Lee. We had fun on the set today, improvised in an unusual manner and I also got to meet 2003 Cy Young winner Eric Gagne in the process.

It was a fun day of movie making magic on this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast

Episode 875 – Mar 17, 2015

Pete Rose applied for reinstatement. It is a formality and who knows where it will lead?

But before you join a “Free Pete” movement, realize that because of Pete, the 1986, 1987 and 1988 NLCS could have a big Asterisk next to them.

Episode 877 – Mar 19, 2015

I want Cuban star prospect Hector Olivera to go to either the Giants or the Marlins? Why?

Because I want those two franchises to elbow their way into an All Time discussion for consistency as World Series champs… and I want that to make Yankee fans angry.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – March 19, 2015

Episode 878 – Mar 20, 2015

The Dodgers and Giants rivalry right now would be more intense if the San Francisco ace didn’t change with every World Series title.

Also the new ending of the season is the coolest idea I’ve heard in a while.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – March 20, 2015

Episode 879 – Mar 21, 2015

Yasiel Puig and Clayton Kershaw can rewrite the Dodger record books if they stay healthy. And the Dodger records for hitting are not as impressive as you would think a successful franchise would have.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – March 21, 2015

Episode 880 – Mar 22, 2015

We may never have a perfect system for dealing with rookies and service time.

We may never have a perfect media rights package.

But we can not wring and hands about perfection when some systems can be kept the same and others slightly tweaked and make lots of people millionaires and provide a great product.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – March 22, 2015

Episode 881 – Mar 23, 2015

Phil Hecken, a contributor to Sporting News and the weekend editor for Uni-Watch, returns the podcast.

Hector Olivera signed with the Dodgers. What does that mean for Don Mattingly’s future with the team?

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – March 24, 2015

Episode 883 – Mar 25, 2015

Why is it a big deal that Bartolo Colon is starting opening day for the Mets? Lots of pitchers you wouldn’t expect take the bump for the opener.

Plus why the Red Sox might be feeling good about not giving Lester and Ellsbury long term deals.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – March 25, 2015

Episode 884 – Mar 26, 2015

How can the Tigers STILL have a questionable bullpen after years of knowing their relievers have kept them from winning a World Series?

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – March 26, 2015

Episode 885 – Mar 27, 2015

I love David Ortiz to death. But has there ever been a player caught in a PED web who has been given a bigger pass than Big Papi? OK, other than Andy Pettitte.

Which makes his rambling and meandering editorial for The Players’ Tribune more aggravating. Just play, be the charming Big Papi and ride off into the sunset! Don’t invite the criticism that you are barely getting to increase.

And maybe more stars who get caught should do what Manny Ramirez did. Accept it and move on.

Meanwhile, I hear from a Twitter follower:

@sullybaseball wtf… how about YOU shut up?

— A Hat Made of Straw (@OneStrawHat) March 27, 2015

I will… right after this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Episode 886 – Mar 28, 2015

There are many possible World Series match ups. But historical, none will be as unique as a Mariners/Nationals fall classic.

The star power would be off the charts. And we would see a match up unlike anyone since 1980 for one reason, unlike any since 1906 for another and one we have NEVER seen for a third reason.
