Still driving on the 5 while doing a Sunday Request from friend of the podcast CU8SFAN (aka Cubs Fan with an 8.)
@sullybaseball If Epstein wanted yet another impossible challenge after the Red Sox and Cubs, what do you think it would/should be? Rockies? Padres? Mariners? Nationals? #SundayRequest
— cubsfan (@cu8sfan) September 7, 2018
He wants to know which team should be the next great championship challenge for Theo Epstein after delivering to Red Sox and Cubs fans.
He makes some suggestions. I have a thought of my own.
Taking a pitstop in this episode of Sully Baseball.
While we are at it, enjoy the NEW In Memoriam video.

@sullybaseball I disagree with your take on the WBC you said “no American” cares about the WBC did you watch the game last night? #StroShow

I have no doubt the WBC final was exciting and for fans of the WBC, I am sure it was a huge highlight.
Now comes the hard part: Building on it.
Let’s start the season already on this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

@sullybaseball @70sBaseball The good ol’ days, when I was a kid…and knew who was on every team, year after year.
— C Peters (@bfler67) March 16, 2017
I totally get why these would be considered the Good Old Days.
It is funny when you considered at the time it was consider the End of Days.
Enjoy this nostalgic look on 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.

@sullybaseball If you pull all MLB pitchers from the WBC, it will cease to exist. Is that what you’re going for?
— Michael (@MichaelT162) February 27, 2017
The WBC is well meaning but even its supporters can’t separate it from a spring training game.
I have ideas how to fix it, but if it goes away, I won’t be sad.

@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.

Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – February 19, 2017
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.
— Alan Davis (@bfb242) February 18, 2017
@sullybaseball @70sBaseball @Pirates @YouTube Wrong. Try Honus Wagner.
— Alan Davis (@bfb242) February 18, 2017
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!
Feeling like a goat on this episode of Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

— Ryan Brooks (@rybrooks26) February 9, 2017
This is the stupidest idea I have heard of in a while. There are ways to improve baseball that don’t involve starting a runner on second in extra innings.
It is a “Don’t Break What Isn’t Broken” episode of Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – February 5, 2017
For this week’s Sunday Request, I am going to answer multiple Tweets.
@sullybaseball ive been listening to ur October shows and noticed that ur stance re Chapman ended up having u spend more time talking 1/2
— TheStartingBloc (@thestartingbloc) January 11, 2017
@sullybaseball about him more than any other player who did have a positive influence on the game. 2/2
— TheStartingBloc (@thestartingbloc) January 11, 2017
@sullybaseball that way you can spend more time focusing on players that positively impact the game
— TheStartingBloc (@thestartingbloc) January 11, 2017
Yes, I could have just focused on the positive. But sometimes you need to shine the light on the negative.
And seeing the cavalier and dismissive attitude we see towards domestic violence, especially by the coverage of Aroldis Chapman, the shrugs by Hal Steinbrenner and the covering up by the NFL shows that too many people are on the wrong side of history.
That and a few Super Bowl Sunday thoughts and admiring those practicing softball in February on this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

@sullybaseball sunday request: whos the best hitter of this generation? Pujols, miggy or other.
— TheStartingBloc (@thestartingbloc) January 16, 2017
Cabrera and Pujols are both going to the Hall of Fame. Right now as the best offensive player of their generation, they could be neck and neck.
And a Trout is swimming up to them!

@sullybaseball Shoeless Joe was given a lifetime ban. Since he is dead, shouldn’t he be re-instated?

It is pretty clear to me that Joe Jackson has paid his price. But would would that mean for Pete Rose and his Hall of Fame chances?

@sullybaseball What fan base is suffering the most going into 2017?
— Tom Taylor (@TomTaylor1138) December 2, 2016
For a question like this, I could not just make idle speculation. I needed to create a new statistic.
So, as demonstrated in this new Video Podcast, I created THE SUFFERING INDEX, designed to quantify numerically and mathematically which fan base is suffering the most.
But even these calculations found a few gray areas.

@sullybaseball Encarcion’s OPS+ has declined the last 2 years and he is 33. Would you give him 3 years at $20 million per?
— Bob Buscaglia (@BobBuscaglia) December 24, 2016
In a vacuum, I would not make this signing for Encarnacion. But this deal was made for 2017 and 2018 alone, and one extra year isn’t so bad.

Well, friend of the Podcast @IlliniDodgers had issues with something I said in a previous podcast. I think he was right.
Along the way I tried to talk about a 60 second wait time to respond on Twitter and minority manager hirings.
It is a podcast of tough questions. Maybe I don’t have the answers, but I know we need to ask them.

@sullybaseball We feel the same way about Chapman, but if the Cubs don’t trade for Chapman I don’t think they win the World Series.
— Jim Furlong (@EWOKinLA) November 5, 2016
Beyond my thoughts about Chapman as a human being, his performance as a closer was not exactly awe inspiring. It is tough to call him a difference maker in the World Series.
