Sully Baseball Podcast: Deceptively Hot Astros and Suddenly Old School Rickey Henderson – September 16, 2018
While standing on the Stanford campus, and avoiding a creepy guy, I look at the potential 100 win defending World Champion Astros as an unlikely post season underdog.
Plus Rickey Henderson, with the benefit of time, has suddenly become old school and the type of player kids today should emulate.

When the World Series is clinched, a whole team will celebrate knowing they are champions.
There are two categories of champions: Those who have never won one before and those who have.
And in those categories, there are several subsets. Today, I will break those down.
That and being annoyed by helicopters in this episode of Sully Baseball.

Sully Baseball Podcast – The Brewers Get It… and Jim Kaat Lost His Damn Mind – September 1, 2018
MLB Network
It is September and a bounce here or a bounce there will be the difference between playing in October or not. The Brewers get that and are fortifying their team in any way they can.
Meanwhile Jim Kaat wrote a surreal tweet.
Please forgive my cynicism but..the only thing ‘team’ about many MLB teams now is the laundry..proud to be a member of the 1965 Twins and 1982 Cardinals.Both went to the WS WITHOUT USING A PLAYER FROM OUTSIDE THE ORGANIZATION.real teams,real baseball..earned our ring,didnt buy it
— Jim Kaat (@KaatJim) September 1, 2018
Not only does it make Kaat look like a factually incorrect bitter old man, but it also illustrates a problem of how MLB markets and presents itself.
Appreciating yesterday AND today in this episode of Sully Baseball.

Sully Baseball Podcast – Thoughts on the All Star Game, Satchel Paige, Jose Reyes and the 1996 Padres – July 12, 2017
The All Star Break lumbers on. I give some All Star Game rule changes and make a suggestion for the Marlins to honor Satchel Paige.
Meanwhile, the Mets stupidly honor Jose Reyes and I figure out which San Diego Padres team should have won.
Nice weather in Miami and San Diego

Sully Baseball Podcast – Talking Braves stadium and Angels team that should have won – April 20, 2017

One of my most devoted listeners asked me a question.
@sullybaseball thoughts on the new braves stadium?
— Christopher a austin (@Christopheraau2) April 17, 2017
The Braves new stadium seems nice but kind of what they already had. Meanwhile I discuss the Angels team that should have won.

Sully Baseball Podcast – What is good changes plus remembering the 2006 Twins – April 13, 2017

What we consider to be good and bad used to be objective in baseball. But was it ever really?
Plus I remember the 2006 in the Teams that Should Have Won series.
Less objectivity and more subjectivity on this episode of Sully Baseball.
Sully Baseball Podcast – The First Weekly Show – April 6, 2017
Did you miss me?
How could you? I was only gone 3 days! In the first edition of the new weekly version of the podcast, I reminded us how important the early games of the season can be.
Plus in the Teams That Should Have Won segment, I honor the 2011 Phillies, who should have made history. Instead they fell in a heap.
It may not be daily anymore, but it still feels good to float down the River Sully in this episode of Sully Baseball.
The Last Daily Episode of the Sully Baseball Podcast – April 2, 2017
After 1,622 straight days of doing a daily podcast, never missing a day, the streak is ending today.
The format will change from daily to weekly. But before I make the change, I wanted to acknowledge the strange 4 1/2 year journey that comprised the single most fun I have ever had doing a creative project.
Thanks for these past 1,622 days of joining you and let’s look forward to what the future may bring.
One thing ends as a season begins on the final episode of Sully Baseball DAILY Podcast.

In the latest installment of The Teams That Should Have Won, I look at a franchise that has had a lot of near misses.
The Mets have lost some heart breakers and some big time stars came and went without a ring.
But the team I picked for the Mets could have built on past success and possibly could have avoided the pitfalls that would emerge in the ensuing years.
It is the second to last DAILY episode of Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

A few years ago, Jurickson Profar was the consensus best prospect in baseball.
Now he is a man without a position with the Rangers.
Jurickson Profar could still be a star shortstop… maybe not in Texas but in San Diego

@sullybaseball I disagree with your take on the WBC you said “no American” cares about the WBC did you watch the game last night? #StroShow

I have no doubt the WBC final was exciting and for fans of the WBC, I am sure it was a huge highlight.
Now comes the hard part: Building on it.

In the latest episode of The Teams That Should Have Won, I cover the Oakland A’s.
There are a lot of A’s teams that frustrated their fan base over the years. But only the 2002 A’s could have given their fans a Hollywood Ending… literally!

Some teams pick badly in the MLB Draft.
But two teams whiffed on picks where they could have put a star in a pennant winning situation.
Essentially they are the Darko Milicics of baseball.
It is a crapshoot on this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

I totally get why these would be considered the Good Old Days.
It is funny when you considered at the time it was consider the End of Days.

The latest installment of the Teams That Should Have Won is the 1993 San Francisco Giants.
The Giants have had a lot of near misses and a lot of recent titles. But a win in 1993 would have been something really special.

Changes are coming to the podcast and I ask you all for suggestions.
But as I look at what I have accomplished with the daily podcast, I wonder something: What have I been talking about?
It is time to reflect on this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Welllllllll folks. All things eventually come to an end. I am not going to end the podcast. But the daily aspect of it might be no longer feasible.
The most important days of the podcast are the ones in the off season, where I can help fill a void.But after 4 1/2 years, doing 365 a year might no longer be possible.
I won’t be going anywhere… just might be reducing the workload to once or twice a week… you know… like a normal podcaster.
But man, this has been one of the most fun things I have ever done in my life.

On the campus of UC Berkeley, I talked about Tommy John and how his career and impact on the game as a pioneer had more effect on the game than many Hall of Famers.

@sullybaseball on the WBC how bizarre is it that we can’t watch it outside of the USA? We’re blacked out on MLB TV!

Seriously baseball. I don’t want to watch the WBC but how the hell can you black out the people who DO want to see it?

THE TEAMS THAT SHOULD HAVE WON series continues.
It is tough to feel for the Yankees and their misery needs to be graded on a curve. But I have no doubt that Yankee fans would have given anything to add 2001 to their World Series collection.

New cutting edge technology we use to enjoy entertainment is nothing new to young adults. And baseball can survive if they put their old wine in new bottles.

All things being equal, I would have been a Pirates fan. I have always gravitated towards them.
The current version of the Bucs are at an agonizing crossroads.
