Running out of time for the snakes in this episode of Sully Baseball.

Still driving on the 5 while doing a Sunday Request from friend of the podcast CU8SFAN (aka Cubs Fan with an 8.)

He wants to know which team should be the next great championship challenge for Theo Epstein after delivering to Red Sox and Cubs fans.

He makes some suggestions. I have a thought of my own.

While at a rest stop traveling up the 5, I realized that neither the Mets nor the Los Angeles Dodgers have a franchise defining offensive superstar.

Sully Baseball Podcast: Thinking of Pitching While Driving – September 7, 2018

IMG_0250

Driving along along the 5 freeway, I began to think about ways to put together a pitching staff that doesn’t require wearing a bullpen down but still tries to keep starters from facing an order more than twice.

When the World Series is clinched, a whole team will celebrate knowing they are champions.

There are two categories of champions: Those who have never won one before and those who have.

And in those categories, there are several subsets. Today, I will break those down.

That and being annoyed by helicopters in this episode of Sully Baseball.

Sully Baseball Podcast – The Brewers Get It… and Jim Kaat Lost His Damn Mind – September 1, 2018

MLB Network

It is September and a bounce here or a bounce there will be the difference between playing in October or not. The Brewers get that and are fortifying their team in any way they can.

Meanwhile Jim Kaat wrote a surreal tweet.

Appreciating yesterday AND today in this episode of Sully Baseball.
