My wife and I discussed double headers and extra innings games.  Somehow the TV show Friday Night Lights and the movie Grease 2 made it into the conversation.

It is the kind of exchange you can only hear on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Ken “Hawk” Harrelson is a shameless homer as an announcer. Why is that a bad thing?

 Also I offer a solution for the Cardinals to use their young pitchers and have them fresh for the post season. Those topics and more on today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Miguel Cabrera is absolutely unconscious this season so far;.  He has a 3 Slash Line of .369 (Leads AL)/.445 (Leads AL/1.121 (2ndi n AL), with 17 HRs (2nd AL) and a mind - blowing 65 RBI through 54 Games Played.  He is on pace for 51 HRs. 195 RBI and about 250 Hits.  He keeps getting better every single year if possible. Despite his prominence - and a lineup full of ALL - Star hitters and Pitchers, the Tigers are limping along at just a few games over .500.  It certainly isn't this 30 Year Olds fault.

Slide1

I jump right into the polarizing topics today on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

The startling walk off inside the park homer by Angel Pagan in San Francisco does not makeup the fact that critical calls were blown and can be easily fixed.

Plus I talk Dusty Baker. Even the mentioning his name brings about extreme points of view. I defend and then trash him.

And I even make a Cyrano de Bergerac reference. It makes sense.

Angel Pagan, Josh Donaldson, Jake Peavy and Mike Minor all owned baseball on May 26, 2013.

Who Owned Baseball Yesterday (May 25th) – Updated Yearly “WOB” Standings

BLKPsYyCcAEj1Ky.jpg-large

Josh Donaldson got on base 5 times with a homer, three other hits and a walk, scored twice and drove in two as the A’s won another slug fest in Houston, 11-5.

Jake Peavy pitched a complete game victory, letting up only 6 hits. He lost his bid for a shutout when he let up a game tying homer to Derek Dietrich. But Connor Gillaspie’s walk off hit gave Peavy and the White Sox a 2-1 victory over the Marlins.

Mike Minor pitched 7 1/3 shutout innings, letting up just 3 hits and striking out 10. He also went 2-4 at the plate, hitting a 2 out 2 run homer that helped Atlanta beat the Mets, 6-0.

And Angel Pagan helped wipe away a day full of frustrations and bad calls against the Giants with a 2 run, 1 out, walk off come from behind 10th inning inside the park home run. He went 2-6 as the Giants shocked the Rockies by a final of 6-5.

Jordan Zimmermann pitched 7 strong innings, letting up only 2 runs, as the Nationals kept the Phillies from gaining ground on them with the 5-2 victory.

Michael Cuddyer doubled home 2 runs in the first and then homered in the 6th as the Rockies beat the Giants in pitcher friendly AT&T Park, 5-0.

The Giants remind me of the Yankees.

Specifically the current San Francisco Giants remind me of the Joe Torre Yankees of the 1990’s and early 2000’s.

I make the comparison today on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, Remove all the negative associations with the Yankees and bear with me. The analogy makes sense.

The Sully – Erin Foley Interviews

Screen Shot 2013-05-15 at 10.38.37 PM

 

I interviewed comedian Erin Foley at my home. We were supposed to get a podcast recorded in 20 minutes.

We talked for over an hour.

I split our discussion into two different Sully Baseball Daily Podcasts.

The first one, which was first posted on May 13, 2013, discusses our fandom for the Red Sox and Yankees.

The second one, first posted on May 15, 2013, Erin talks about attending the Aaron Boone game while I remembered going to the Bloody Sock game.



Erin is a great comic. Check out her schedule, clips and links at her OFFICIAL SITE.
