Still at Washington State, I wonder if the Marlins will regret dropping 3 games to the Braves to start the year if they finish the season in a tight race. Plus the match up of Harvey and Strasburg make me hopeful for a dynamic NL East for years to come.

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.

It is a “Let’s think of October in March” episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

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:

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

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.

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.

It is a “Let’s do what WORKS” episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

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.

It is a very petty episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

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

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
