Sully Baseball Podcast – The Roller Coaster Diamondbacks Season – September 10, 2018

Are the Diamondbacks a dominant team powering their way into the post season? Or are they a maddeningly inconsistent team who find new ways to lose critical games?
They have been both this year and that could cost them a chance at a winnable pennant.
Running out of time for the snakes in this episode of Sully Baseball.
While we are at it, enjoy the NEW In Memoriam video.
Sully Baseball Podcast – The Categories of Champion Players – September 6, 2018

When the World Series is clinched, a whole team will celebrate knowing they are champions.
There are two categories of champions: Those who have never won one before and those who have.
And in those categories, there are several subsets. Today, I will break those down.
That and being annoyed by helicopters in this episode of Sully Baseball.

Sully Baseball Podcast – Making the Case for Ties – March 20, 2018

I take a deep dive in the proposal to allow games end as a tie after 12 innings. It makes sense and wouldn’t REALLY effect the pennant race.
Neither winning nor losing on this episode of Sully Baseball.

Sully Baseball Podcast – The First Weekly Show – April 6, 2017
Did you miss me?
How could you? I was only gone 3 days! In the first edition of the new weekly version of the podcast, I reminded us how important the early games of the season can be.
Plus in the Teams That Should Have Won segment, I honor the 2011 Phillies, who should have made history. Instead they fell in a heap.
It may not be daily anymore, but it still feels good to float down the River Sully in this episode of Sully Baseball.
The Last Daily Episode of the Sully Baseball Podcast – April 2, 2017
After 1,622 straight days of doing a daily podcast, never missing a day, the streak is ending today.
The format will change from daily to weekly. But before I make the change, I wanted to acknowledge the strange 4 1/2 year journey that comprised the single most fun I have ever had doing a creative project.
Thanks for these past 1,622 days of joining you and let’s look forward to what the future may bring.
One thing ends as a season begins on the final episode of Sully Baseball DAILY Podcast.

In the latest episode of The Teams That Should Have Won, I cover the Oakland A’s.
There are a lot of A’s teams that frustrated their fan base over the years. But only the 2002 A’s could have given their fans a Hollywood Ending… literally!
Cue “The Show” on this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

MLB blackout rules are insane.
But MLB blacking out all of Canada? That is insane.

The latest installment of the Teams That Should Have Won is the 1993 San Francisco Giants.
The Giants have had a lot of near misses and a lot of recent titles. But a win in 1993 would have been something really special.

On the campus of UC Berkeley, I talked about Tommy John and how his career and impact on the game as a pioneer had more effect on the game than many Hall of Famers.
I did NOT risk my body on this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

@sullybaseball on the WBC how bizarre is it that we can’t watch it outside of the USA? We’re blacked out on MLB TV!
— markblakemore (@markblakemore) March 8, 2017
Seriously baseball. I don’t want to watch the WBC but how the hell can you black out the people who DO want to see it?
I make reference to slapping fish together on this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

THE TEAMS THAT SHOULD HAVE WON series continues.
It is tough to feel for the Yankees and their misery needs to be graded on a curve. But I have no doubt that Yankee fans would have given anything to add 2001 to their World Series collection.
27 is not enough on this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

All things being equal, I would have been a Pirates fan. I have always gravitated towards them.
The current version of the Bucs are at an agonizing crossroads.

Baseball is meant to be a diversion or a distraction from every day life. But often the players, the key distractors, have real life interfere with their production on the field. Jake Peavy, dealing with a prolonged divorce is the latest example of reality colliding with fantasy.

The NL East will be won by the team that doesn’t break down. Meanwhile new Washington reliever Joe Blanton has turned his nice career around and could become a closer option.

Mike Trout might never be universally recognized and that MAY just be a product of the current way we consume culture. Meanwhile Mike Scioscia might have outstayed his welcome.

It is Sunday and time for The Sunday Request.
@sullybaseball Sunday request. If Scherzer has 3 more top 5 Cy Young years, has he had an under the radar HOF career?
— TheStartingBloc (@thestartingbloc) February 24, 2017
Max Scherzer certainly has had a peak and highlights worthy of Hall of Fame merit.
But he needs several more years of it and some early warning signs are troublesome.

THE TEAMS THAT SHOULD HAVE WON: The first part of a series on the podcast that I will do for the next 31 Saturdays.
I look at the teams that if they had won the World Series, they would have done so under the best circumstances and with the best collection of players. First team I cover are my Red Sox and I look at the 1978 squad.
First of a month of Saturdays with this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Building up to Oscar season, I watched the only film connected to baseball: Fences.
Besides being a great showcase for two wonderful stars, Denzel Washington and Viola Davis, it also allows a supporting cast (especially Stephen Henderson) to shine.
As a baseball fan, it also shows how we use our own experiences to paint how we appreciate the greatness of players in the past and the present.
Yeah it is worth seeing.
Also listen to the great podcast Denzel Washington is the Greatest Actor of All Time Period.
It is an honor to be nominated in this episode of Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

I listed my thoughts on the greatest players in each franchise’s history. I realized that Francisco Lindor has the outside chance to become the greatest player in Cleveland Indians history.
It is there for the taking.

On Twitter, I posted YouTube clips of the person I declared the best of each franchises. People today call that a GOAT, Greatest of All Time. I am not ready to use that term.
Goat still means something bad to me!
But the reaction I got to the clips inspired The Sunday Request
@sullybaseball @70sBaseball @Reds @YouTube Wrong again try Johnny Bench.

@sullybaseball @70sBaseball @Pirates @YouTube Wrong. Try Honus Wagner.

Try Johnny Bench? Honus Wagner? Wrong? Um, I have given this some thought. I am just trying to get some healthy debate about something that ISN’T politics on line!

The card of the day for Sully Baseball was a Mark Davis Topps Card. I bet you do not know this, but he is a Cy Young winner once traded for a Hall of Famer and another time dealt for an MVP.
I am POSITIVE you didn’t know that.
Pad your resume on this episode of Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

A few days ago, I thought the Marlins were about to get a normal owner.
Now the Marlins management is somehow mixed up with the Trump Presidency and the French Embassy.
This is bananas.
Florida is nuts again on this episode of Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
