Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – November 4, 2016

Mike Montgomery’s save in Game 7 of the World Series was as unlikely as any in baseball history. Plus some surprising names led who owned October and the World Series.

The off season begins with this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Ben Zobrist, Jon Lester, Rajai Davis and Cody Allen all added to their Who Owns October and Who Owns the World Series totals.

Josh Donaldson and Jon Lester owned October in 2016

How about THIS for a strange development?

The final tally for “Who Owns October” had the leader for offensive players being Josh Donaldson, a man who not only did not play in the World Series but his team nearly got swept out of the ALCS!

And yet his great showing in the Postseason, including a .571 average, 1.418 OPS in the Division Series and .956 OPS in the ALCS gave him a WOO score of 3 1/2. Kris Bryant, whose bat heated up in the second half of the World Series, and Francisco Lindor, who was dynamic throughout the World Series, fell 1/2 WOO shy of Donaldson’s showing.

That’s a first.

This also looked like a lock for Corey Kluber and his domination of the Red Sox, Blue Jays and Cubs through Game 4 of the World Series. But alas he did not pitch well in Game 7 and Lester’s strong showing out of the bullpen locked it up.

So I guess the glory was spread out well throughout October, but two teammates from the 2014 Oakland Athletics clinched it.

Even nature had to stop and catch its breath as the Indians and Cubs fought through a game I rank as one of the 3 greatest I have ever seen.

Somehow I tie it into the Bernardo Bertolucci film The Sheltering Sky.

Who Owns October and Who Owns the 2016 World Series (#WOO and #WOWS) Tallies Updated For October 29, 2016

screen-shot-2016-10-29-at-10-51-11-pm

Will baseball end on Sunday? Will the people who spent all that money on tickets to see the Cubs play in Wrigley walk away depressed?

I don’t have answers yet. And the Cubs do not have answers for the Indians pitching!

So who owned October and the World Series?

Each winning team for every post season game gets a pitcher and a hitter who earn a full WOO (Who Owns October.)

And at my discretion, I award a 1/2 WOO’S to a worthy player on the losing team.

But the World Series deserves its own stats. WOWS (Who Owns the World Series.)

At the end of the post season, we will see who had the highest WOO total as a pitcher and a hitter. The WOWS total will be kept separately. Each game now counts towards both tallies.

A complete description of the rules can be found HERE.

From October 29th.
2016 World Series Game 4:

Receiving 1 WOO’s and WOWS

Jason Kipnis singled, doubled, smashed a back breaking 3 run homer and scored twice to lead Cleveland to the brink of the World Series title against the Cubs, 7-2.

Corey Kluber overcame early trouble to throw 6 innings, striking out 6 and walking no Cubs to earn the 7-2 victory for the Indians.

Receiving 1/2 WOO’s and WOWS

Dexter Fowler scored both of the Cubs runs with a double and a shocking homer off of Miller but it was not enough as the Indians prevailed, 7-2.

Current ‘WOWS’ Totals MLB 2016:

Hitters ‘WOWS’ MLB 2016,

Coco Crisp  – Indians 1, Jason Kipnis – Indians 1, Roberto Perez – Indians 1, Kyle Schwarber – Cubs 1, Dexter Fowler – Cubs 1/2, , Mike Napoli – Indians 1/2, Jorge Soler – Cubs 1/2, Ben Zobrist – Cubs 1/2,

2016 Fantasy Baseball Dynasty League Trade Analysis (Part 2)

Now that the season is over, I wanted to go through my dynasty league trades throughout the 2016 season and give my analysis. I gave the analysis of my team earlier last week, but this analysis is for a very different team. This team is currently rebuilding and had by far the biggest roster turnover during the 2016 season. Austin, the owner of the team, asked me to analyze his team, so I figured I would share my analysis of his deals (there is A LOT of them). Before going into the trades, let me give you a quick overview of the rules and regulations of the league:

 

-16 team dynasty league founded 1.5 years ago

-Head to head categorical scoring (offensive categories include: Runs, RBIs, HRs, SBs, Slugging, OBP, Strikeouts for hitters, Total Bases…. Pitching categories include: H/IP, BB/9, Total Strikeouts, ERA, WHIP, Quality Start %, Saves, and Holds)

-Roster: 19 active on the roster (C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, LF, CF, RF, UTL, 5 SP, 5 RP), 12 bench players, and 21 minor league prospects

-Active salary cap (max of $20 million per player) of $168 million based on actual MLB contracts

-Annual amateur draft for the most recent MLB amateur draft during the offseason (if I mention a draft pick in a trade, that is what it is referring to)

Sure there are long suffering Cub fans. There are also long suffering Dodger fans. And they suffered tonight.

Meanwhile Joe Maddon’s decision to celebrate Chapman made me turn off the game.

Who Owns October in MLB Playoffs 2016 (#WOO) Tallies Updated for October 18, 2016

screen-shot-2016-10-18-at-9-00-52-pm

Nuccio DiNuzzo – Chicago Tribune

The Indians could not clinch but are still in control. Meanwhile the Cubs suddenly find their dream season on the brink.

Time to see who owned October.

Each winning team for every post season game gets a pitcher and a hitter who earn a full WOO (Who Owns October.)

And at my discretion, I award a 1/2 WOO’S to a worthy player on the losing team.

At the end of the post season, we will see who had the highest WOO total as a pitcher and a hitter.

A complete description of the rules can be found HERE.

From October 18th.
ALCS Game 4 and NLCS Game 3:

Receiving 1 WOO’s 

Josh Donaldson homered to put Toronto on top and played great defense to help the Blue Jays stay alive over the Indians, 5-1.

Yasmani Grandal hit a 2 run homer and drove in another to lead the Dodgers past the Cubs, 6-0.

Rich Hill shutout the Cubs over 6 strong innings, allowing 2 hits and striking out 6 as the Dodgers took control of the series, 6-0.

Aaron Sanchez kept the Blue Jays from getting swept by Cleveland by throwing 6 innings, allowing 2 hits and 1 run, earning the 5-1 decision.

Receiving 1/2 WOO’s 

Kris Bryant went 2 for 4 but could not be driven in by his teammates as the Cubs fell to LA, 6-0.

Roberto Perez doubled home the Indians only run in their 5-1 loss in Toronto.

2016 Fantasy Baseball Dynasty League Trades Analysis

Following a 2nd place finish in 2015, this is the active roster I ended the year with:

C– Travis d’Arnaud

1B– Brandon Belt

2B– Robinson Cano

3B– Anthony Rendon

SS– Brandon Crawford

LF– Yoenis Cespedes

CF– David Peralta

RF– Bryce Harper

UTL– Daniel Murphy

Starting Pitchers– Madison Bumgarner, Matt Harvey, Noah Syndergaard, Sonny Gray, Justin Verlander

Relief Pitchers– Ken Giles, Daniel Hudson, Jonathan Papelbon, David Robertson, Shawn Tolleson

Off. Bench– Robinson Chirinos, Justin Bour, Jonathan Schoop, Alex Rodriguez

P. Bench– Nick Martinez, Carlos Rodon, Arquimedes Caminero, Jenrry Mejia, Drew Pomeranz, Tom Koehler

Offensive Prospects– Chance Sisco, A.J. Reed, Kean Wong, Tim Anderson, Jorge Mateo, Eloy Jimenez, Manuel Margot, Bradley Zimmer, Brett Phillips

Pitching Prospects– Edwin Diaz, Anderson Espinoza, Michael Fulmer, Taylor Guerrieri, Pierce Johnson, Yoan Lopez, Francis Martes, Alex Reyes, Jack Flaherty, Casey Meisner, Luis Ortiz

 

While I did finish the season in 2nd, my roster needed some serious improvements. I had a lot of faith in my ability to scout prospects, so I figured it was time to unload some prospects for win-now talent and trust my ability to refill my minor league system with less publicized talent. You can see all of the trades I made in the offseason and during the 2016 season in order from oldest to most recent below (all trades made prior to the season are in bold and in season is in italics):

Gregory Polanco Had A Great 2016 Season, but 2017 Could Be Even Better

Gregory Polanco made huge strides in 2016, but this Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder could be in store for an even bigger 2017 season. At only 25 years old, Polanco made significant improvements to his swing and approach at the plate in 2016. He finished the season with a .258/.323/.463 slash line, 34 doubles, four triples, 22 home runs, 86 RBIs, 79 runs, and 17 stolen bases. Out of all Major League hitters this year, only 14 had more than 20 home runs and 15 stolen bases. Out of those 15, only five are 25 years old or younger (Gregory Polanco, Bryce Harper, Mookie Betts, Mike Trout, Wil Myers). As you can see, Polanco is in a very elite group of young talent, but after looking more into his numbers, his game could explode in the upcoming seasons.

Ho hum… another day and another pair of heart stopping playoff games.

Time to see who owned October.

Each winning team for every post season game gets a pitcher and a hitter who earn a full WOO (Who Owns October.)

And at my discretion, I award a 1/2 WOO’S to a worthy player on the losing team.

At the end of the post season, we will see who had the highest WOO total as a pitcher and a hitter.

A complete description of the rules can be found HERE.

From October 15th.
ALCS Game 2 and NLCS Game 1:

Receiving 1 WOO’s 

Jon Lester allowed 4 hits and 1 run, on a solo homer, over 6 innings. He was pulled, probably too early, and did not get a decision but helped set up the Cubs’ 8-4 win over the Dodgers.

Francisco Lindor collected a pair of hits and drove in the run that put Cleveland up for good, 2-1 over the Blue Jays.

Miguel Montero launched a 2 out, 2 strike bottom of the 8th game tying pinch hit grand slam to give the Cubs a dramatic 8-4 Game 1 victory over Los Angeles.

Josh Tomlin allowed only 3 hits and 1 run over 5 2/3 innings, striking out 6 and giving the Indians a victory in his emergency start over Toronto, 2-1.

 

Receiving 1/2 WOO’s 

Josh Donaldson doubled home the first and so far only Toronto run of the series as the Blue Jays fell to Cleveland, 2-1.
Adrian Gonzalez got a pair of hits including a game tying 2 run single in the 8th. The Dodgers bullpen would melt down in the bottom of the 8th and the Cubs would take the game, 8-4.
