My wife and I discussed double headers and extra innings games. Somehow the TV show Friday Night Lights and the movie Grease 2 made it into the conversation.
It is the kind of exchange you can only hear on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
Mike Trout, Kyle Blanks, John Danks and Kevin Slowey all owned baseball on June 8, 2013.

Who Owned Baseball Yesterday (June 8th) – Updated Yearly ‘WOB’ Standings

Mike Trout collected four hits over the course of the two Angels-Red Sox games, driving in runs in both games, helping the Halos won the opener, 9-5.
John Danks won his first game since his 2012 shoulder surgery. He went 8 innings, letting up 1 run and 3 hits, retired the final 21 Oakland A’s he faced, en route to a 4-1 White Sox victory.
Kyle Blanks hit a go ahead home run that was enough for the Padres to top the Rockies, 4-2.
And in a game that might still be going on, Kevin Slowey entered the Marlins-Mets game in the 13th inning. He threw 94 pitches, each one could have ended the game if the Mets scored a run. They never did. 7 shutout innings would be a terrific start. It is a fabulous relief performance. And on the road? It is mindboggling.

R.A. Dickey let up only 2 hits in 8 1/3 shutout innings and drove in a run to help his cause as Toronto beat the defending champs in San Francisco, 4-0.
Julio Teheran threw a no hitter into the 8th inning and finished with 8 1 hit, shutout innings in the Braves 5-0 victory over the Pirates.
Carlos Gonzalez smashed 3 homers, driving in 6, as the Rockies dismantled the Reds 12-4.
And the Mariners did not win their epic 16 inning marathon against the Chicago White Sox. But don’t blame Kyle Seager! He went 3-5 in the loss, including a 2 out, 2 strike game tying grand slam in the bottom of the 14th. Do you know how many people have hit an extra inning game tying grand slam in the history of baseball? One. Kyle Seager. He did it yesterday.
They all owned baseball on June 5th, 2013. No doubt my choices will cause some controversy today. Hey, it is MY stat!

Who Owned Baseball Yesterday (May 23rd) – Updated Yearly ‘WOB’ Standings
It was a light day in baseball on May 23rd. But that won’t stop me from awarding the title of Who Owns Baseball for the day.
Four players increased their WOB by one.
Miguel Cabrera got on base four times including 2 hits, one of them being a 2 run homer. He scored in the game tying 7th inning rally and helped set up Prince Fielder‘s game winning hit in the 8th inning as the Tigers beat Minnesota 7-6.
Scott Barnes pitched three shutout innings in relief for his first career save and gave the Indians bullpen a respite as the Tribe beat the Red Sox 12-3 in Boston.
Andrew McCutchen went 3-4 with a pair of runs batted in and made a great catch as the Pirates beat the Cubs, 4-2.
With the Pirates and Cubs playing the only National League game and a rain delay preventing either starter from going long, the WOB honor goes to Pittsburgh closer Jason Grilli. He threw a perfect 9th inning and for his 19th save in 19 tries, lowering his ERA to a microscopic 1.25 as the Pirates swept the Cubs.

The Giants remind me of the Yankees.
Specifically the current San Francisco Giants remind me of the Joe Torre Yankees of the 1990’s and early 2000’s.
I make the comparison today on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, Remove all the negative associations with the Yankees and bear with me. The analogy makes sense.

Jon Lester threw a brilliant 1 hit shutout against the Blue Jays as Boston won 5-0.
Not to be outdone by Lester, Shelby Miller also spun a one hit shutout as the Cardinals beat the Colorado Rockies.
Lyle Overbay went 4-5 with a home run, driving in 5, as the Yankees beat Kansas City in an 11-6 slugfest.

Paul Goldschmidt was a one man wrecking crew, smacking two homers and driving in all three Arizona runs as the Diamondbacks beat the Dodgers 3-2.
Mike Minor held the Cincinnati Reds to one run over 7 innings and striking out 7 as the Braves were triumphant, winning the series on the road.
Felix Hernandez pitched 8 solid innings letting up only one run and one walk as the Mariners held on to a 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
And Adam Rosales smashed a clutch 2 out game tying home run in the 9th inning for the A’s. He DID do that. Everyone saw it. Everyone saw the video. Just because Angel Hernandez botched the call doesn’t take away from the FACT that he hit that homer in that situation.
History will not record it as a home run and the A’s game tying rally was squashed even though it actually succeeded. I can not right that wrong and I can not change the past.
But I CAN increase the WOB total for Adam Rosales by one.

Just how far can Bryce Harper improve during his 2nd season? If he can improve by about 15 % might we see a 30 HR/ 30 SB, year with around 120 Runs Scored and 80 Extra Base Hits? This would vault the 20 Year Old LF into MVP consideration. He hit 2 HRs on Opening Day – and is crushing regular hits as well. Harper is 6 – 12 with 2 HRs and 3 RBI through 3 games. The Nats swept the Marlins in 3 straight.
By Paul Francis Sullivan (Lead Baseball Writer/Personality): Follow @sullybaseball
On my podcast, The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast (available on iTunes), I have been keeping track of a title of my creation. It is the title of “Who Owns Baseball?” for a given day.
Essentially it is the star of the day, with an American League and National League hitter and pitcher being honored. Its origin stems from the Opening Day heroics of Bryce Harper and Clayton Kershaw. I wrote on Twitter that they “owned baseball today.”
And I thought why not keep track of that? Why not follow an entire season, as I am going to do anyway, and declare a pitcher and a hitter from each league as the “Owners of Baseball.”
