Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – September 11, 2014
A lawsuit involving Jeff Wilpon filed by a former VP could be the first step in cleaning house of the Mets ownership… or at least that is what fans of the Mets are HOPING.
It is kind of a dark episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

The home plate collision rule somehow got more confusing, Jon Lester showed why the A’s traded for him and the Brewers freefall is worse than I thought. There is a real possibility that they could finish below .500!
That and more on today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

There is a real possibility that the Angels and Cardinals could meet in the World Series.
If that happens, my advice to Texas Rangers fans is DO NOT WATCH!
It is a missed opportunity episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Lots of great baseball was played yesterday, not that you would know it if you went to any place that showed sports.
A trip to Dave and Busters drove home the fact that the baseball regular season needs to end on Labor Day.

Look, I know Jeter is respected and I’ve shown him more love than most Red Sox fans.

Ron Washington stunned the baseball world by resigning suddenly on Friday. Not only was his leaving the team unexpected, but there is a slight aura of mystery regarding why the beloved manager is walking away.
To help make sense of it all, I brought in Texas Rangers fan and creator of The Scoop, Jamie Kelly, to talk about Wash’s legacy and her reading between the lines of the press conference.

I would hate for last night’s loss to be Koji Uehara‘s last game with the Red Sox… but it might be.
Closer’s flame out and Koji looks like no exception. Remember, he was never meant to be a long term solution.

Was the Jon Lester trade a mistake?
Do they desperately need Yoenis Cespedes?
Or would they be in worse shape relying on a slumping Sonny Gray or Scott Kazmir at this point?
And what does this have to do with the beef stroganoff recipe by comedian Ritch Duncan?
It all makes sense (or maybe it doesn’t) in this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Bo Porter was fired as manager of the Astros. Now I am not sure if it was the right move for the team, but there is no way the team’s losing ways could have been a surprise to Bo or anyone else.

This terrific Deadspin article accurately looked at baseball’s inability to sell itself.
I took it a few steps further, put part of the blame on Bud Selig, who I compared to Jay Leno and William H. Macy’s character in Fargo.
But hope for baseball comes, in all places, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
Trust me, it all makes sense in this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Dan Otero is piling up wins at an alarming rate. So much so that I wonder out loud again if anyone could ever catch Jack Chesbro’s 41 win season if they did so as a middle reliever.
That and why teams should be nervous to deal with Tampa Bay in this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

I attempt to expand my appreciation of WAR by trying to understand why Jason Heyward is ranked so highly.

Roy White averaged over 5 WAR per year for Yankees from 1968-1972 when team was a shade over .500. Why isn’t he loved as much as Mattingly?
— High Heat Stats MLB (@HighHeatStats) August 15, 2014
@sullybaseball white was by far the best player on teams that didn’t have a lot of other talent. Very similar to Mattingly. — High Heat Stats MLB (@HighHeatStats) August 15, 2014
