Celebrating and being flamboyant is bad for the integrity of the game.
Brushback pitches and brawls are good old fashioned hard nosed baseball.

Chris Rock gave a hilarious if depressing rant about the lack of interest of African Americans on baseball. And along the way made some interesting observations about nostalgia.
I can’t speak for being African American. But I can say that baseball needs to build on a solid foundation to open its appeal and maybe not be so afraid to have fun.

The Giants offense is bad. We knew that going into the season. We are seeing it now. Why wait to fix it?
The Giants could call someone up from AAA, shift Posey to the infield or give Carlos Quentin a shot.
Or… bring back Barry Bonds

Is it too early for teams to be panicking? Or are some teams showing their glaring weaknesses early and should be addressed?
In some cases, teams shouldn’t panic.
In others, they should solve a problem before they ferment.
Meanwhile it is The Sunday Request.

900 straight days with an original podcast every single day. Not a bad showing.
Today’s episode was recorded on the campus of The University of Idaho, a state that is not exactly a major league baseball hot bed.Neither is Iowa and it will never become a big baseball state if insane blackout rules continue to take effect.

Still at Washington State, I wonder if the Marlins will regret dropping 3 games to the Braves to start the year if they finish the season in a tight race. Plus the match up of Harvey and Strasburg make me hopeful for a dynamic NL East for years to come.

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.

The Royals will take advantage of a mediocre American League. But will they be the so so team of most of last year or the dynamic team of October.
That and I comfort a crying little league player on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

There are many possible World Series match ups. But historical, none will be as unique as a Mariners/Nationals fall classic.
The star power would be off the charts. And we would see a match up unlike anyone since 1980 for one reason, unlike any since 1906 for another and one we have NEVER seen for a third reason.
It is a “Let’s think of October in March” episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

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?

I will… right after this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Why is it a big deal that Bartolo Colon is starting opening day for the Mets? Lots of pitchers you wouldn’t expect take the bump for the opener.
Plus why the Red Sox might be feeling good about not giving Lester and Ellsbury long term deals.
That and more in this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
