Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – June 28, 2014
The Red Sox lost to the Yankees best (Vidal Nuno, read with sarcastic tone) pitcher yesterday. It might be time to declare this World Series defense dead.
That might be what saves the 2015 season.
It is a glass half full AND empty episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

What the Nats Should do in July
A great article by David Huzzard of the CitizensofNatstown.com
The trade deadline is a little over a month away and that means the coming month of July will be filled with speculation, rumors, and excitement but will ultimately end with disappointment. As a baseball fan the trade deadline is a yearly excuse to get excited about trades and rumors that have no realistic chance of coming true. As a first place team with a couple of questions the Nationals have a chance to make some moves and while every other team is chasing one of the Cubs five starters and David Price, the Nationals could go after a position player. Specifically a second or third baseman with Rendon playing whatever position they don’t and Span hitting the bench or being sent off in a separate trade to help replenish the farm system.
The biggest second base name rumored to be on the market is Chase Utley. The 35 year…

An intense pennant race or NLCS between the Giants and Dodgers is just what baseball needs right now. And the recent San Francisco slump and Los Angeles surge could make that happen this year!

Tim Lincecum is one of the most loved sports figures in San Francisco history. And the things he is putting on his resume are usually reserved for Hall of Famers. What will Lincecum’s legacy be?
He very well may have a similar legend as another pitcher who is beloved in Southern California.
Those kind of thoughts fill today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

As our website has increasingly adapted to changes both suggested by our readers and writers, we are forever changing our content on our little space carved out on the interwebs.
So for a little bit of nostalgia, I add an installment of a previous segment we once had, called ATR (Ask The Reports).
Q: I noticed you pulled down the HR leaderboard pages and placed them on a website called www.30mlbteamsreports.com, is this the same ownership of that site?
CB: Absolutely, I purchased the domain www.30mlbteamsreports.com to help control some of the amount of stuff we post at http://www.mlbreports.com. In some cases, we will post some of our work on both websites from now on. Read the rest of this entry

D’Backs Latest Team To Complete MLB Runs Survivor 2014: Only NYY, NYM + ATL Left

It has not been a banner year for the Arizona Diamondbacks. They are challenging for the worst record in the Majors and finished 27th in this contest. At least they completed the Runs Survivor contest with a win (9 – 8 in 14 innings) over Cleveland last night. The effort also gave the National League a 5 – 0 sweep in Interleague Play

The Diamondbacks finally fought off the Indians with a 9 – 8 win in 14 Innings last night. Not only that, but they became the 27th team in the MLB to score in 11 different scenarios 0 – 10 for the 2014 year.
This contest now boils down to the Braves, Yankees and Mets all needing an 8 run contest, to see who can avoid finishing in last.
Arizona has played the most games in the MLB, so I am not surprised they completed before the other teams.
By virtue of the game, they also closed the book on the NL west division, who finished 4th in the divisional race. Only the AL and NL East have clubs yet to finish. Read the rest of this entry

Will anyone ever match Johnny Vander Meer‘s feat of back to back no hitters?
Well maybe. And if any pitcher is good enough to do that, it is Clayton Kershaw!

The A’s Should Trade Jim Johnson To Tampa Bay For Grant Balfour

Billy Beane made some great trades to bolster his Relief Core – and rotation for the 2014 year last winter. Unfortunately 1 move may haunt in more ways than 1 in Jim Johnson.
Billy Beane just hasn’t been on the bad end of many deals in his recent days. Trading for Jim Johnson may turn out to be his worst move ever.
Originally it looked like another genius move, trading away an MiLB player in Jemile Weeks – for a guy who has back to back 50 Save seasons on his resume, but it has been a colossal nightmare for the AL Bay Area franchise.
Johnson was given a 1 YR deal worth $10 MIL. This represents about 12% of the team total payroll of just over $80 MIL for the 2014 campaign.
The dollars doled out hurts the team more than anything else. Had this man just been inept, without carrying a heavy price tag, it would have been a 4th and 40 situation (think what you do in football in that scenario.
What is too bad is that Beane actually looks smart in not giving Grant Balfour his cash for the kind of deal he wanted either. Read the rest of this entry

American soccer fans are hoping the US Team advances to the next round of the World Cup.
But would the rest of the world look at an American World Cup the way that Indians or Cubs fans would see another Marlins World Series?
And would you trade a chance to see your team win the World Series for a chance to see America win the World Cup?

The AL Has Been Dominating The NL During Interleague For Over A Decade Now

After the 1st 7 years of Interleague, the AL trailed the season series 4 – 3, and the overall games mark 853 – 833 (.506). Since 2004 it has been 10 years straight of AL beatdowns, winning each campaign for Won – Loss record, with a clip of 1437 – 1206 (.544). Despite a promising start of 26 – 17 this season for the Senior Circuit, the AL has reeled off a 63 – 45 run, to hold an overall mark of 80 – 71 (.530) – which is slightly above the Lifetime mark of .524 baseball

The American League holds a decisive ALL – Time Record on the National League in Interleague play – and perhaps that is why a lot of traditional fans hate the concept even more.
Heading into play in 2014, the AL has won the last decade straight of seasonal play (10 years), and now possess an overall yearly record of 13 – 4 over the Senior Circuit.
It wasn’t always this dominant for the Junior Circuit. 4 of the 1st 7 campaigns were taken by the NL, however ever since the start of 2004, the American League has routinely speedbagged their opposition league.

Notable HRs FRI June 20th: EE Mashing Again, Smith + Martinez (X2) Party In Detroit
Hunter Stokes (Chief Writer): Follow @stokes_hunter21
Follow The MLB Reports On Twitter Follow @mlbreports
Edwin Encarnacion has continued his torrid pace for HRs, after a quick brief spell had cooled him down.
Last night, he took over the lead in the AL+ overall MLB, with his 22nd and 23rd HRs. Not only that. he has risen past everyone in the MLB for RBI as well with 62.
It was hit 6th Multi HR effort since May 8th. and he is on a 2 game HR streak. If indications are anything, he will club another long ball today, as the man already possesses 3 3 game HR streaks.
EE has now blasted 20 HRs and added 40 RBI since May 6th.
Back at that point, the man was struggling with his power at 3 HRs, and was still decently productive with 19 knocked in. The Blue Jays were in a 3 way tie for the cellar of the AL East.
They have ridden the big 1B’s filthy hot bat to a 29 – 16 record, and have sole possession of the division right now. Read the rest of this entry

The game should have been a great way to cap off their run survivor, with plating 9 runs in a contest for the 1st time this campaign.
Instead, Edwin Encarnacion and CO. kept obliterating baseball into orbit at Great American Ball Park Friday night.
The Blue Jays erased a 8 – 0 2nd inning deficit, to tally a 5 run win at 14 – 9.
But all is not lost Reds fans. Your team has finished their 11 different scenarios, and therefore have placed 26th in the 2014 MLB Runs Scored Survivor.
This leaves the Yankees, Braves, Mets and D’Backs still on the clock. Arizona is the only team that needs a 9 run affair, while the Mets, Braves and Bronx Bombers all need exactly 8 runs to come across in a match. Read the rest of this entry

I have been quick to criticize the Yankee organization and their farm system. But I need to give credit when it is due. The Yankees have filled a lot of holes internally and found themselves in the middle of the AL East race.
