Sully Baseball Podcast – Let Relievers Pitch Longer and Rooting for the Rockies – August 21, 2018
David J. Phillip/Getty Images North America
A pair of 1-0 games used an absurd number of pitchers last night. Maybe we can let relievers pitch a little longer.
Plus the Rockies have NEVER won the NL West. I hope they do this year.
Feeling the Rocky Mountain High in this episode of Sully Baseball.
While we are at it, enjoy the NEW In Memoriam video.
