@sullybaseball how cool would the AL East be w/Sox,Yanks,Orioles,Jays, #MontrealExpos? Lots of rivalries there! #movetheraystoMontreal #MLB
— Mike (@Boston_Braves) March 30, 2014
That is an interesting idea for potential rivalries in the AL East.
And the bar for an improved baseball situation in Montreal is kind of LOW!

Today is the sneakiest episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
I went to Cashman Field in Las Vegas, wanting to record outside the home of the Las Vegas 51s.
But I saw a door was open and I decided I was going to sneak into the stadium. How far would get into the stadium before security stops me. Read the rest of this entry

And did you remember that there were plans to lure the Yankees to New Jersey or Manhattan?

Are New York sports fans “Long Suffering?”
They are if they are of a certain age and have the wrong combination of teams, including the Mets.

Forget The DH, Forget The Pitcher Hitting, Lets Hit With 8! Also Teams Should Hit Best Players At The Top
Disagree with me all you want, but I think the MLB would be better served to have just 8 hitters hit in one rotation of the batting order. It is time to eliminate the DH and the pitcher both from hitting. Give the fans more of what they want, the most feared hitters in baseball potentially batting 70 – 80 times more a year. I also agree with Sully Baseball, that your best hitters should be afforded the most opportunities to contribute to your offense. This means hitting in the highest slot in the order they can based on OBP, Slugging and overall Run production.

(The 8 hitters in lineup concept is my idea solely, I am agreeing with Sully on his lineup relevance for his approach for 1 and 2 hitters) – CB
I was listening to an archived show I did with James Acevedo, on our inaugural “2 And A Hook Podcast” show last March.
We were talking about the Designated Hitter position weakening by the year, and the Pitcher not doing any justice at the plate either.
In the show, I haphazardly referred to “they should just hit with 8 hitters.”
I forgot about the whole thing soon after saying it last year, but now I haven’t stopped thinking about for the last hour of today.
Baseball writers often will tell you it is best to write what is fresh on your mind. Read the rest of this entry
MLB’s 2014 Most Likely To Class…….
PED use or not, Stem Cell technology, and who knows what else has aided Colon’s body over the last 3 seasons of success. Yes he was 18 – 6, with a 2.65 ERA – finishing 6th in AL Voting, however the A’s went and paid someone else, and usually they are not wrong on guys. The 40 Year Old from Dominican Republic, is also a gigantic man who decimated his hamstring during a PFP out in 2011 with NYY. You have to think his lucky streak is numbered sooner or later – and especially on the basepaths in the NL hitting a few times a game.

Remember when you graduated, or just had a school yearbook, and one of the best features was a ‘Most Likely To‘ Section.
It could have been John is most likely to succeed at playing football, or Sally will make a fortune by selling her clothes fashions to Hollywood Diva’s.
Lets do this for the MLB 2014 as it sits.
The Most Likely To Hit The DL after running to 1st is Bartolo Colon. Read the rest of this entry

Buffalo nearly got baseball in 1969… they nearly got it in the 1970s and in the 1990s.
Should they have? Are they better off without it? The topic of today’s The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Today on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, the topic is the Baltimore Orioles.
The Birds made a pair of signings this weekend that confirm what I already believed about them: There is no predicting what is happening in Baltimore. They could be great or they could be one of the worst teams in the AL. And there is a lot of gray area in between.

It is Valentine’s Day and what better way to spend the day than with former Montreal Expos star Ellis Valentine?
He joins The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast to talk about his days with Montreal, his rivalry with Gary Carter and baseball returning to Olympic Stadium this spring for an exhibition game.
And I got to tell him that I voted for him in the All Star Game and his 3D card was a staple in my cereal box!

On today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I take a quick glimpse at the Face of Baseball off season competition.
It doesn’t really interest me, but some people are really getting into it. I support anything that gets people talking about baseball in the off season. But I also believe it illustrates the need to start the season with the All Star Game.

Why is it that post-season success & championships are much greater factors when evaluating NFL players vs MLB players?
— High Heat Stats (@HighHeatStats) February 2, 2014
It is harder to use stats to evaluate the worth of an NFL player compared to a baseball player. Perhaps “counting the rings” is more relevant for that reason.

In 2019, Michael Young will be eligible for the Hall of Fame.
He will have detractors and supporters as his candidacy falls somewhere in “on the bubble” territory.
The debate will be endless, like the Jack Morris back and forth. But that will be a welcome distraction from the never ending Steroid controversy in Cooperstown.

Today on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I discuss bias and impartiality.
@sullybaseball no thanks. Plenty of other stuff to do with my day than to listen to some biased nobodies talk shit about the angels.
— Michael Reed (@mikeareed34) January 8, 2014
Being called biased kind of hurt. I will never be impartial, but my impartiality will be tempered by a lack of bias.
Does that make sense?
I hope so.

@sullybaseball The money is fine but would you give 7 years to a pitcher?
— Bob Buscaglia (@BobBuscaglia) January 16, 2014
Usually I would NEVER give a seven year contract to a pitcher, but Clayton Kershaw is not your usual pitcher.
I think the contract is justified. Listen in to find out why.

Rewatching Game 4 of the 1989 World Series made me realize how influential Tony LaRussa was.
Whether it was the bullpen, the steroid era or waiver wire deals, LaRussa’s paths can be felt to this very day.

Of course not. But it is progress.
