Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – October 18, 2015
NY POST
Matt Harvey came through big time for the Mets, erasing a lot of ill will.
David Price LOOKED like an ace until the Royals chip chip chipped away.
And all the while I bet Joe Buck wishes he was in New York and not Chicago.
It is almost late October on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast!

KC Up 1 – 0 In ALCS, But Jays At +115 Still?! Plus Mets/Cubs Preview + NLCS Prediction
Royals blank the Jays, take a 1 – 0 lead, and are set to face David Price, who doesn’t have an all – time best playoff record, and are just slight favorites currently. I think this is a wrong odd. I would have at -160 or higher. Thanks also to a preseason bet I had with Toronto, I am throwing down $150 on the Royals to win the series – for $111 profit right now. I also had the KC squad at the onset of the series for a nice +135 odd.

Seriously, I have picked on bet365.com for a couple of years now. I am happy the Jays made it to the final four – as I had a preseason bet on them to win the World Series for $30 – At 20/1 Odds…However they just made it so easy to hedge bet this again.
I already had $50 plunked down on the series with a lofty +135 clip for the Royals to start this best of 7. Again, I harken back to KC hosting 4 of the potential 7 games, and also yielding no Lefties out of their Starters.
Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – October 17, 2015
Driving past the old Johnny Carson studios, I started thinking about how the consumption of baseball has changed since 1985, 1986 and 1993, the last times the Royals, Mets and Blue Jays won the World Series.
Also I talked about the not exactly eventful Game 1 of the ALCS.
Heeeeeere’s Sully on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast!

Playoff Betting Lines For Game #5 Mets @ Dodgers + ALCS/NLCS + World Series Odds
I have no problem with the Jays being the favorite out of the remaining clubs left in the postseason – however they should not be favored over every other teams by twice the odds.

The Toronto Blue Jays came back from 0 – 2 in the ALDS to beat Texas in the best of 5 series. Kansas City won their winner take all game with the Astros – so now we get to revisit my blog from last week coming to fruition.
I am talking about some precarious moves after the Canadian franchise clinched – costing them a chance for home field advantage. This may be the difference in this forthcoming American League Championship Series. Read the rest of this entry

Okay. Lets start this blog by coming clean about my intentions. I want for the MLB to hire me as a travel ‘host/public speaker/blogger – or whatever they want me to do for a salary to work out of New York.
I bring a vast amount of travel knowledge when it comes to the 30 MLB cities that are in the Majors. I have visited all of them five times or more in the last 7 years alone.

What The Jays Did Wrong After Clinching The AL East: Never Take The Foot Off The Gas!
The Jays were the best team in the Major Leagues over the last two months, however some late season decisions may have cost them the #1 seed,and thus an easier opponent in the ALDS .
Hunter Stokes (Chief Writer) Follow @stokes_hunter21
Follow The MLB Reports On Twitter Follow @mlbreports
I take you back to Wednesday Sept.30th when the Jays had a slim lead against the Royals for the #1 seed in the American League. Their magic number was also down to one game in the AL East. The object was to clinch with a win in either game of a doubleheader at Camden Yards that evening.
The club responded with an absolute speed-bagging of the home squad – clubbing them 15 – 2 in front of a large Canadian crowd that had made the trip from North of the border in the 1st game. What they did in the next 24 hours might have actually sealed their playoff doom.
Since it was a Division clincher, John Gibbons used the biggest scrub lineup for the next two games in Baltimore – including game 2 of the twin bill, and the following day game. Read the rest of this entry

The Most Recent No Hitter For Each Franchise (Updated for Max Scherzer, October 3, 2015 )
AL BELLO/GETTY IMAGES
TWO NO HITTERS IN ONE YEAR!!
Well you can not blame Max Scherzer for the Nationals’ woes! He came to DC and found himself getting two no hitters in the same year!
The last time someone did two in one year it was Roy Halladay doing one in the regular season and another in the the Division Series.
Scherzer had the second game of a lifetime and Washington has its third no hitter since the last day of the 2014 season after not having one since 1931.
Not a bad way to say goodbye to the season for Scherzer.
It is time to update my list!

The Most Recent No Hitter For Each Franchise (Updated for Jake Arrieta, August 30, 2015)
Charles LeClaire, USA TODAY Sports
I think the Cubs have their Wild Card Game Starter!
No offense Jon Lester. But I have a feeling that Jake Arrieta is the right man for the job.
No hits, 1 walk, 1 error and 12 strikeouts? And the Dodgers get no hit AGAIN in the last 2 weeks.
Not a bad night for the man we can all call the Cubs ACE!
It is time to update my list!

ASTRONOMICAL!
Mike Fiers pitched a masterpiece tonight. The Astros pitcher threw a no hitter and totally shut down the reeling Dodgers, retiring the last 21.
It is the kind of game that could be the inspiration for ONE first place team and the low point for another.
And while we are here, let’s salute Roy Oswalt, Peter Munro, Kirk Saarloos, Brad Lidge, Octavio Dotel andBilly Wagner . They were the Astros pitchers who combined for a no hitter back in 2003. It was fun for them to be listed here until tonight.
But this is Mike Fiers night!

The Most Recent Cycle Hit For Each Team (Updated for Matt Kemp, August 14, 2015 )
DAVID ZALUBOWSKI/AP
THE FIRST PADRE CYCLE!!!
No Padre has ever thrown a no hitter. No Padres team has ever won the World Series. No Padre had ever hit for the cycle… until now.
Matt Kemp hit a fly ball that ricocheted off the right center field wall in Coors Field. By the time he stood at third base, the cycle was achieved.
This has been a rough year for the Padres and for Kemp, but this hit must have felt sweet.
Here is the list, updated for today’s action!

A Masterpiece for Iwakuma!
This has been a let down of a season for the Seattle Mariners, but what a highlight for Iwakuma. The 5th no hitter in Seattle Mariners history and the first since the perfect game by Felix Hernandez in 2012.
It was also his first career complete game. It is a good thing they didn’t bring in Fernando Rodney for the 9th.

OK, it isn’t quite Bonds, Aaron, Ruth, Mays… but it is kind of cool.
Bad news for Shin-Soo Choo who didn’t even last 3 weeks on this list!
Meanwhile Beltre is on here twice as the most recent cycle for the Rangers and the Mariners.

The Most Recent No Hitter For Each Franchise (Updated for Cole Hamels, July 25, 2015)
David Banks/Getty Images
If this is Cole Hamels final game with the Phillies, what a way to go!
The Phillies should take advantage and trade Hamels RIGHT NOW before anyone thinks he has any arm issues. Getting an ace fresh off of a no hitter?
I think he is in good shape.
This is also the first no hitter thrown against the Cubs since Sandy Koufax in 1965. A cool fact but the end of a Twitter account called @CubsNoHitStreak which reminded the world of their ability to break up no nos in every game since.
Alas, it is no more.
No. 7,921: Cole Hamels has no-hit the Cubs. The Streak dies.
— Cubs No-Hit Streak (@CubsNoHitStreak) July 25, 2015
A few more thoughts… Cole Hamels has started more no hitters since September 1, 2014 than the Padres and Mets have had in their history combined.
But his last no hitter was a combined one, so that means Jake Diekman, Ken Giles and Jonathan Papelbon are off the list now.
They didn’t last long… not as long as Indians pitcher Len Barker who has been on this list since 1981.
It is time to update my list!
The Most Recent Cycle Hit For Each Team (Updated for Shin-Soo Choo, July 21, 2015)
DAVID ZALUBOWSKI/AP
First Texas cycle in 2 years!
Lots of people hit their cycles in Colorado. Choo is the latest. In fact his teammate Delino DeShields almost joined him if only he could have connected for a Coors homer himself.
Either way, it was safe to say that humidor or no humidor, it was a good night to hit in Colorado (except for the Rockies who were shutout, 9-0.

Rob Carr/Getty Images
Max Scherzer gets his first no hitter!
He nearly got a no hitter in his last start and nearly threw a perfect game (ah those hit by pitches.) I think he will take it. Man, Jordan Zimmermann didn’t last long on this list. After no Washington no hitter since Bobby Burke’s gem for the Senators in 1931 and no franchise no hitter since Dennis Martinez’s perfecto in 1991, Zimmermann ended the regular season of 2014 with a no no.
Now Scherzer takes Zimmermann’s place. And by the way he has been pitching, he will be back.

The Most Recent Cycle Hit For Each Team (Updated for Brock Holt – June 16, 2015)

The First Cycle Hit for 2015!
With all the great hitters in baseball, naturally it is BROCK HOLT of the Red Sox who gets a single, double, triple and homer. Granted, I am not thrilled that he wears Wade Boggs’ number 26, but this is a day to celebrate.
Good bye John Valentin, no longer on this list.
I have compiled a list of the most current no hitter for each franchise, but here is the companion list for the cycle. Is it harder to hit for the cycle? Probably. But Holt did it!
Here is the list, updated for today’s action!
The Most Recent No Hitter For Each Franchise (Updated for June 9, 2015 )
Adam Hunger-USA TODAY Sports
The first No Hitter of 2015!
Lots of Giants greats have thrown no hitters, from Christy Matthewson to Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain. Now add Chris Heston to the list. Just think. In 2013, the Giants designated him for assignment and anyone could have picked him up.
I bet the Giants are glad nobody did.
With a 5-0 masterpiece, Chris Heston has his own piece of history and removes his teammate Lincecum from this list.
I am sure Tim is fine with it.
It is time to update my list!
