Lots of beer flowing at the game is a baseball tradition. But SHOULD it be?

How much better could the experience of a baseball game be WITHOUT beer? And how much money can be made cutting off from the beer wagon?

Plus my first Hamstersdam reference from The Wire.

It is the last 2014 episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

John Smoltz has a great case for the Hall of Fame. Hopefully the numbers game won’t push him off.

Meanwhile the best way to see Bonds and Clemens inducted is for them to keep living and a few other people to die off.

It is a life and death episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Orioles fans might be disappointed with their Christmas haul. But guess what? They were last year as well and they got to the ALCS.

The team is already better and the other teams in the AL East are getting worse.

There is reason for the bird on the hat to smile in this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

I had to do some last minute shopping for Christmas.

While wandering from store to store in San Jose, I wondered which teams should be doing last minute shopping for themselves regarding James Shields and Max Scherzer.

I swear I am not obsessed with the Padres.

But they ARE having the most interesting off season in baseball. And if they acquire Cole Hamels, it would finally make sense.

It is yet another San Diego episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

It is time for the Sunday Request.

The point of a renovation is to keep the memories and connection of an original ballpark intact. 2 have done it wonderfully.

2 others? Not so much.

Hear which ones I picked on today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Dick Allen was kept out of the Hall of Fame by a single Veterans Committee vote.

The Giants are moving on from Pablo Sandoval. And with the money they saved, they could fill a lot of holes and be back to the playoffs before you can say Joe Panik.

It is an out with the old and in with the new episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Driving to San Jose Airport, I struck up a conversation with my dad about Pablo Sandoval and whether or not he will end up with the Red Sox or Giants.

Why have a private conversation when you can turn it into a podcast?

The brilliant Mike Nichols died the other day.

The maestro was so brilliant and prolific in his career that he would have been a legend even if he had never directed The Graduate, which was the Citizen Kane of comedies.

His career reminded me of Branch Rickey’s, who transformed baseball in ways that are still felt today and would have been one of its greatest pioneers even if he never broke the color barrier.

It is another strange comparison episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

The Marlins make a long term deal for Giancarlo Stanton to win over fans in the short term.

The Cardinals make a short term deal for Jason Heyward to keep fans for the long term.

It all makes sense.

How should the San Diego Padres try to rebuild their team?

I can not tell you for sure what is going to happen with Giancarlo Stanton’s career.

One thing I DO know is that in 13 years, he will NOT be a member of the Marlins.
