We may never have a perfect system for dealing with rookies and service time.
We may never have a perfect media rights package.
But we can not wring and hands about perfection when some systems can be kept the same and others slightly tweaked and make lots of people millionaires and provide a great product.
It is a “Let’s do what WORKS” episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Yasiel Puig and Clayton Kershaw can rewrite the Dodger record books if they stay healthy. And the Dodger records for hitting are not as impressive as you would think a successful franchise would have.

The Dodgers and Giants rivalry right now would be more intense if the San Francisco ace didn’t change with every World Series title.
Also the new ending of the season is the coolest idea I’ve heard in a while.
It is a renewed rivalry episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

I want Cuban star prospect Hector Olivera to go to either the Giants or the Marlins? Why?
Because I want those two franchises to elbow their way into an All Time discussion for consistency as World Series champs… and I want that to make Yankee fans angry.
It is a very petty episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Pete Rose applied for reinstatement. It is a formality and who knows where it will lead?
But before you join a “Free Pete” movement, realize that because of Pete, the 1986, 1987 and 1988 NLCS could have a big Asterisk next to them.
It is a Luck of the Irish Episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Today your pal Sully acted in a movie called “The Wrong Stuff”. It is written and directed by Brett Rapkin, who previously made a documentary about the same subject, former Red Sox pitcher Bill Lee.
That film, entitled Spaceman – A Baseball Odyssey, also featured yours truly.
I play a mailman opposite Josh Duhamel, who plays Bill Lee. We had fun on the set today, improvised in an unusual manner and I also got to meet 2003 Cy Young winner Eric Gagne in the process.
It was a fun day of movie making magic on this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast

@SN_Baseball @sullybaseball The DH would be an excellent series of podcasts.
— ExiledMetFan (@ExiledMetFan) March 9, 2015
I see absolutely no need to have uniformity in the leagues. Having the DH in one league and not the other is something I love about baseball.
Let the pitchers hit in this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Have some people forgotten to have fun?
How can anyone REALLY be upset about Will Ferrell playing in spring training games?
And who was more fun than Dontrelle Willis when he burst onto the scene? He is retiring and getting his due respect.
Plus I dance while getting a rental car and I explain why algebra came easy to me but geometry was a chore on this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Did you know Alex Rodriguez was having a good spring training?
Did you even know that A-Rod was AT spring training?
You wouldn’t know that if you were following the Yankees on Twitter.
That and the San Diego Padres rebuilding process continues to be passionate but reckless.

Oh injuries… how they make Spring Training not fun.
Yu Darvish and Marcus Stroman might lose their seasons.
Cliff Lee? His career could be over. It is a big league tenure worth saluting.

Can you imagine being so spoiled as a baseball fan that you actually can’t recall the events of your team winning a World Series?
That has happened with some Yankees, Red Sox, Giants and Cardinals fans I know.
Perhaps that is the ultimate achievement for a franchise: Having titles lost in the shuffle.
It is a mini dynasty episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Two high profile and highly paid former World Series hero third basemen are in the news.
One is the reviled Alex Rodriguez of the team I hate the most, the Yankees.
The other is the lovable “Kung Fu Panda” Pablo Sandoval, who moved from my second favorite team, the World Champion Giants, to my favorite team, the Red Sox.
So why is Alex Rodriguez earning my respect and Pablo is making me think “Shut up, Panda”?

It is Sunday and time for The Sunday Request.
@sullybaseball Here is a Sunday Topic for you, the Odd Numbered Year Curse and Hunter Pence’s broken Arm. Unreal.
— Jim Furlong (@EWOKinLA) March 5, 2015
The Giants lineup is thin enough that losing Pence for any length of time isn’t going to be fun. Man, this even year odd year thing is starting to get creepy! Let’s talk defending champs on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
@CblackCHC It happens my friend. Thanks for the concern, it’s a part of the game we love. No slowing down!

I recorded today’s episode along a big empty field in Fremont California.
If everything had gone according to plan, the Athletics would have had their stadium and called this patch of land home. As you can see, it didn’t happen.

These new manager are so anonymous that I had to look them all up to remind me who the hell they are, except for Maddon of course.
