It is Sunday and time for The Sunday Request.
@sullybaseball @MLBreports Does Byrd lose his 1/2 WOB for cheating?
— Rob Ullman (@robullman) June 2, 2016
I know this was tongue in cheek, but it opens up some philosophical questions that are worth bringing up.
It is a “Is the past even passed” episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
Jason Hammel, Brandon Moss, Josh Tomlin, Elvis Andrus, Cesar Hernandez and Adam Eaton all added to their totals for Who Owns Baseball yesterday.

I woke up on Friday to find out Dee Gordon was suspended for PEDs.
Let’s just say I have thoughts.

THE SUNDAY REQUEST IN LONDON!
@sullybaseball Sunday request w/Almonte suspension why do players still try PED? Harshest penalties in Pros still try to get away with it!

I answer the question of PEDs while at Abbey Road Studios…
It is A Day In The Life episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast

The Angels reaction to the Josh Hamilton decision was deplorable. They don’t deserve Mike Trout.
Ervin Santana’s reaction to his positive test made me roll my eyes.
That and positive news from Montreal in this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – March 27, 2015
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:
@sullybaseball wtf… how about YOU shut up?
— A Hat Made of Straw (@OneStrawHat) March 27, 2015
I will… right after this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

It is The Sunday Request on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast
@sullybaseball Sunday request: should baseball writers now be applying a moral filter to HOF votes when they didn’t for guys like T. Yawkey?
— Kenny Mack (@KennyMack1) February 1, 2014
Pushing my buttons as only a friend can do, Kenny knows that Tom Yawkey in the Hall of Fame is more offensive than any juicer.
But are performing enhancing drugs even the biggest shame in Baseball history?
I argue they don’t even earn the Bronze medal.

Today on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast… more A-Rod.

Also a comparing and contrasting A-Rod and LeBron

Alex Rodriguez has been suspended for the 2014 season.
Kind of big news, eh?
Today on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I do my best to make sense of the whole mess and wonder why the CBA doesn’t apply to A-Rod.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – November 3, 2013
Today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast is not so much a Sunday Request as it is a Sunday Response.
Andrés du Bouchet is one of the funniest and most talented comedic minds currently breathing in oxygen and breathing out carbon dioxide on the planet Earth. As an Emmy nominated writer and frequent performer on Conan, his brilliant comedic imagination and performing style can be seen on national TV.
And I had the privilege of seeing him as a sketch performer in the late 1990s and 2000s in venues all around New York.
A big sports fan and a lifelong Mets supporter, Andrés went to Twitter to question the adoration of David Ortiz after the 2013 World Series.
So, when the inevitable evidence finally turns up that Ortiz has been on PEDs for the entire Boston portion of his career, is baseball over?
— Andrés du Bouchet (@dubouchet) October 31, 2013
I just think it’s a shame that a city’s biggest folk hero has so clearly been a PED user since he got there. Nothing against Boston.
— Andrés du Bouchet (@dubouchet) October 31, 2013
Meanwhile ESPN continues to mythologize the knucklehead.
— Andrés du Bouchet (@dubouchet) November 1, 2013
If he were a Yankee fan, I’d chalk it up to sour grapes and remind him that Andy Pettitte was practically deified in September.
But I decided to actually respond, not as a Red Sox fan, but as a baseball observer. Why does David Ortiz and Andy Pettitte get off Scott Free while the likes of A-Rod have to fight for their baseball lives.
My conclusion is that PED’s don’t really enter into the thought process.
