The Royals outslugged the Orioles?
The Orioles outran the Royals?
The Royals have home field advantage after winning their FOURTH extra inning post season game?
How about instead of trying to predict this post season, we just let it unfold whatever way it does. Nobody has been able to predict it yet!
I recorded today’s podcast while driving past every ballpark the Giants have called home in San Francisco.
It is going with the flow episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
Alex Gordon, Wade Davis and Ryan Flaherty all owned October last night.

I haven’t had baseball for 2 days? ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
The ALCS starts today. What do I want? I want a 7 game epic series with a mindboggling finale. What will happen? I am guessing a Baltimore party.
It is an ALCS preview episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
NLCS Preview: Cardinals vs Giants In A Battle For Decade Supremacy!
It’s all about the Pennants in the LCS Round, The Cards are competing in their 4th straight NLCS, and 9th out of 14 years, while the GIants are in the series for the 3rd time in 5 years, and have never lost a playoff series under head coach Bruce Bochy.

I am not going to preview this from an analyst angle because our “Lead Podcast Personality” Paul Francis Sullivan ‘AKA Sully’ does a brilliant 20 minute podcast that he does daily, and he has described this matchup beautifully.
I will post the podcast at the end of the article.
Instead, I am looking at this series as a professional handicapper sense.
Opening Odds
STL -135
SF, +115
I have to give the nod to the Giants for value on this one. If you go down the rosters, the St. Louis franchise is a smidge better on the talent level, however how can you bet against San Francisco when they have won 8 straight playoff series from 2010 – 2014.
The Giants have also won 4 of 5 games in this year’s playoff. Read the rest of this entry

The Cardinals and the Giants are meeting in the NLCS again, and a lot of people are not happy with that match up.
Perhaps if the 2012 NLCS featured an iconic moment, walk off homer or thrilling Game 7, this would be considered a welcomed rematch between two terrific recent champions.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – October 8, 2014
The Cardinals and the Giants cement their reputations as the teams of the decade.
One reason they both made it this far was some questionable bullpen management from the opposing manager.
It is a dynasty episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

It is episode 715 of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
I did not think Don Mattingly was making smart decisions leading up to Game 4 of the Division Series. I talked before and then after the game about my thoughts.

ALLISON LONG/The Kansas City Star
It is safe to say that the Royals are happy to be here. Just “Here” keeps changing. Just happy to be a Wild Card team means just happy to be in the ALCS.
Think your team is building for the World Series at the trade deadline? Think again

Yesterday I said jokingly that the final score of the Cardinals and Dodgers game with Clayton Kershaw and Adam Wainwright pitching would be 10-9.
It is one of my FEW predictions that actually came true.
The Dodgers and Nationals blew critical games, the Tigers bullpen is a joke and the Angels are showing why the best record in the regular season doesn’t mean crap.
Plus I remember my wedding day on this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – October 3, 2014
I recorded today’s podcast from the center field bleachers of PetCo Park in San Diego California, home of the Padres.
That’s right, I was in the ONLY Southern California baseball stadium not hosting a playoff game today.
I discussed the underrated misery of San Diego fans, the predictability of the Tigers’ bullpen failure, the insanity of the Royals playoff games and my love for a Quadruple Header in baseball today.
It is a Staying Classy in San Diego episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

You want to make a lot of money? Take my predictions for the playoffs, bet against ALL of them and make a fortune.
The Giants shutout the Pirates and at least one Bay Area team gets to move forward.
Meanwhile I talk pronunciations, Division Series and wishing that the Chronicle’s Sporting Green was printed on green paper again.
It is a throw your predictions away episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – October 1, 2014
The Royals and A’s opened the post season with one of the wildest and craziest and for Oakland fans heartbreaking game in recent years.
Right after the game, I walked out of The Dutch Goose in Menlo Park and recorded my thoughts and emotions. Some negative but a lot more positive.
It is a “Break your heart” episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

It is the Post Season!!!! I make my picks for the playoffs.
Meanwhile the Royals or A’s will justify a big trade with a win. Will it be Jon Lester or James Shields who will vindicate their General Manager.
And why should Fox want a Dodgers – A’s World Series?
All that and more on this post season kick off episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

The regular season is over… always a sad day.
Meanwhile I tried to watch as many games as possible on as many devices as possible.

A positively bonkers eve to the final (scheduled) regular season game leaves more questions than answers.
Tomorrow could be even crazier and realistic scenarios have as many as three additional games being played on Monday.
Things are getting odd and I’m recording a podcast in my garage.
It is a tin foil hat crazy episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast

Waiting for my shuttle at the Bob Hope Burbank Airport, I reflect on a wild night of baseball.
The Diamondbacks made a move they should have done in the spring (and got revenge for 1988.)
The Royals showed us something we hadn’t seen since 1985.
And the Red Sox and Yankees do something that hasn’t happened since the creation of the Wild Card.

Even this bitter Red Sox fan has to admit that Derek Jeter‘s finale in New York was pretty cool.
The narrative of the last at bat was perfect, even if the build up to it was obnoxious.
WFAN’s Jason Keidel joins the podcast to discuss Jeter, narratives of baseball and what is next.

The Giants can clinch their third post season berth under Bruce Bochy today. Hopefully San Francisco fans can truly appreciate what a remarkable run their team has had.
Chances are it won’t last much longer.

There is a possibility that Derek Jeter‘s final game at Yankee Stadium could get rained out. That is hilarious.
Next year, how about a 30 ballpark tour celebrating Hank Aaron and Willie Mays while they are still with us?

Adam Wainwright has had a career worth noting, even if he will probably never win a Cy Young Award.
Plus the AL Cy Young race is more interesting with Corey Kluber pitching so well and Felix Hernandez losing.
It is a better late than never episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are a scary team heading into the post season. Not because of momentum (which is meaningless, especially with a one game playoff) but because of which players are healthy, strong and playing at a high level.
It is a raise the Jolly Roger episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
Baseball can adapt not only to the digital age but learn the lessons that the movie industry eventually learned about home video.

In a vacuum, the Derek Jeter – Gatorade commercial was great. It is just getting to be a little bit of overkill!
Plus, Mike Scioscia can put any lineup on the field he wants. His team clinched. He owes no team a playoff spot but his own.
It is a doing it MYYYYYY WAAAAAAAAY episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Was this rock bottom for the A’s? Either the A’s will be remembered for a huge collapse forever or nobody will remember it on October 1. That’s quite a swing!

Washington and Baltimore both clinch in an amazing night for the Beltway and both franchises are seeking redemption.
Things get tight in the AL Central, a closer should be put in moth balls and stupidity overshadows what was basically a meaningless Rays and Yankees game.
It is a stretch time down to the wire episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – September 16, 2014
Comedian and host of the podcast Tell Your Friends, Liam McEneaney, joins the podcast to talk about the Mets, memories and watching some agonizing playoff games. He still has not forgiven Kenny Rogers. It is an “Amazin'” episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

@sullybaseball if you were tapped to produce a “true story” baseball movie, what story would you like to see told?
— Nathaniel Wakeman (@wakemanna) September 5, 2014
What movie would I want to see?
Maybe a colorful and complicated brawling manager… or a woman who ran a powerful Negro League team… or a pitcher who could have been brilliant and insane… or the least likely World Series clincher of all time.
I put on my movie producer hat on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Comedian Clayton Fletcher joins the podcast today to talk about his beloved Baltimore Orioles.
We discuss why on paper this is a mediocre team, why “not sucking” helps” and of course Chris Davis‘ suspension.

The way the season is unfolding, a Dodgers/Giants post season matchup is a distinct possibility.
Also, a hit by pitch may have clinched the MVP for Giancarlo Stanton.
