Has the season started or not? It is very confusing with the soft opening. I think the season should start with the All Star Game anyway.

That is discussed along figuring out which managers will be closer to Cooperstown with a World Series title in 2019.

The LockedOn MLB Podcast is Relaunched… hosted by Paul Francis Sullivan of Sully Baseball @LockedOnMLB

Locked-On-MLB-Podcast-BG

https://player.megaphone.fm/LKN4611938221?

I’ve been away. Now I am back.

Thanks to the Locked On Podcasting Network, your pal Sully is posting all new baseball podcasts for the relaunched show Locked On MLB.

The first episode, I discuss which fan bases have replaced Cubs, White Sox and Red Sox fans as the longest suffering in baseball and who need a World Series title the most in 2019.

Plus, I suggest a few rules that might cut down on the number of pitchers used, reduce length of games and make a little more sense than what MLB is proposing for 2019 and beyond.

Fans of the old podcast will feel right at home.

A New Season Begins… and a New Edition of Who Owns Baseball

bagaballs

Tom Pennington/Getty Images North America

The 2019 season is about to begin… and once again it is time to tally Who Owns Baseball.

Last year, Mike Trout took the honors for American League hitters. Javier Baez did for National League Hitters. Max Scherzer took home the title for National League pitchers. Justin Verlander did the trick for American League pitchers.

Will one of them repeat? Will someone else take the title?
