Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – November 9, 2014

Why did reading a back issue of Cinefex make me think about the traditional writers vs Sabermetrics crowd?

Because when I grew up, I was the equivalent of a Sabermatrician in terms of movie watching.

It makes sense in this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

MARK THE DATE AND TIME!

I am predicting that James Shields will be a bad free agent signing. Someone will sign him to a long term deal and regret it.

Where did you hear it first? You heard it on in this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Kevin Youkilis has retired. And it makes me sick that his official image on Yahoo Sports is in a Yankee Uniform.

The Red Sox need to do a better job of saying good bye to our heroes.

Cue Dirty Water! It’s the new episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Alfonso Soriano is calling it a career. And it was indeed a fine career.

But if Nomar Garciaparra had accepted a contract extension from Boston, Soriano would have been a revered Yankee legend.

Trust me. It makes sense in this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

The finalists for MLB’s off season awards mirror the final results of Who Owned Baseball pretty closely.

We still need an MLB award show!

It is an “Envelope please” episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Let’s not create fake controversies, shall we?

Alex Rodriguez paid off his cousin to not talk about steroids? Is that supposed to shock us?

And please stop any talk that Mike Jirschele should have sent Alex Gordon home with 2 outs in the 9th inning of Game 7 of the World Series. Gordon would have been out by 20 feet.

It is a manufactured controversies episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Can Pablo Sandoval re-sign with the Giants? All year long I said “No, it makes no sense.” But I might be changing my mind.

The Toronto Blue Jays are looking at the 2015 season and are at a crossroad.

Should they cut bait and rebuild? Or can they try and end the longest post season drought and take advantage of the vulnerable Yankees, Red Sox and Rays?

It is a North of the Border episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Joe Maddon looks like he is heading to the Cubs. Why didn’t the Dodgers back up the Brinks truck and offer him the sun, moon and stars?

They will regret this for the rest of the decade.

The off season is beginning in earnest on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

It is October 31, and there can be no scarier costume to wear in Kansas City than Madison Bumgarner.

His post season was remarkable of course. Emotionally, it also mirrored what Bob Gibson did in 1968.

Recorded in front of the house from Halloween, it is the Halloween episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Game 7 of the 2014 World Series was a thriller.

Bumgarner dominated. Affeldt was terrific. Gordon nearly pulled off the comeback and the Chevy Guy might be a viral marketing prank.

Lots to talk about regarding the last game of the year on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Madison Bumgarner, Pablo Sandoval, Kelvin Herrera and Alex Gordon owned the World Series and October last night.

Bumgarner and Hunter Pence had the highest WOWS total.

Bumgarner and Lorenzo Cain had the highest WOO total.

Well, Game 6 was a bust.

The Royals blew out the Giants early and handily.

Now it is all on the line tonight. The last game of the season. Game 7. Who will be associated with this game and the year forever more?

It is the end of the baseball season forecasted on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Yordano Ventura and Lorenzo Cain owned the World Series and October last night.

Tonight is Game 6 of the World Series.

Those words can bring up so many different memories. Who will be the Reggie Jackson, Carlton Fisk, Don Denkinger, Bill Buckner, Kirby Puckett, Joe Carter, Tom Glavine, Josh Beckett, David Freese or Nelson Cruz of the night?

Meanwhile I all but beg Joe Maddon to take over the Dodgers.

It could be a memorable night that is previewed on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Madison Bumgarner pitched another thrilling game that added to his growing post season legend.

But sadly we will never get to see Oscar Tavares blossom into the star he could have become.

It was a conflicted and strange night of baseball for today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Madison Bumgarner, Brandon Crawford and James Shields all owned October and the World Series last night.

Last night’s game was so strange that I feel like we saw 3 different games.

It was like a Tarantino film. I am not convinced it was shown in chronological order.

It is the Game 4 of the World Series episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Neither had my dad, a lifelong Giants fan.

Today is the second anniversary of the podcast.

For two straight years I have recorded 365 original podcasts a year. What drives me? The fact that baseball has never let me down nor has stopped giving me thrills.

Baseball allows me to live in the past, present and future all at once. And later tonight I will be doing a first for me: I will be attending a World Series Game

It is an anniversary celebration episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

I needed a new Giants hat for Game 3 of the World Series, which your pal Sully will be attending. So I went to the Giants dugout store and picked out a winner.

Afterwards I had some thoughts about Game 2 and maybe not using Hunter Strickland any more.

Plus, I did NOT get this ugly hat!

Every team that made the playoffs has heart

Every team that made the playoffs has desire.

Every team that made the playoffs has a sense of camaraderie.

At this point at the eve of the World Series, making predictions is futile. It is all coming down to chance.

Plus some people are already trashing this World Series match up. We have had some dud World Series before. Give the Giants and Royals some credit.

It may be difficult to predict who becomes a post season hero. But one thing is certain… he will be picked up under the radar during the season by the San Francisco Giants.

Just ask Cody Ross, Marco Scutaro and Travis Ishikawa.

It makes sense to me.

Also I lament waiting so long for more baseball, my rental car is wonky and THIS ARTICLE from The National Pastime Museum gives us yet another reason to celebrate Hank Aaron.

It is a stopping and starting episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Ho hum… another mind boggling, jaw dropping, heart stopping, head scratching historic playoff game in 2014.

Travis Ishikawa joins an elite crew…

Michael Morse and Brandon Crawford have heroics almost as important…

And Mike Matheny might have managed himself right out of St. Louis.

It is a night of baseball I will never forget and I celebrate on this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

In late July, the Royals were a sub .500 team wondering if they should cut their losses.

This afternoon they could win the AL pennant.

Fox Sports 1 did some creative work in their broadcast of the NLCS last night. It shows that maybe some different thinking can be used in showing baseball as MLB embraces the digital age.

How about instead of trying to predict this post season, we just let it unfold whatever way it does. Nobody has been able to predict it yet!

I recorded today’s podcast while driving past every ballpark the Giants have called home in San Francisco.
