Today on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I found myself in a pickle.

I couldn’t determine which American League pitcher owned baseball.
Was it R. A. Dickey and his 2 hit shutout?
Or A. J. Griffin and HIS 2 hit shutout.

I spent the episode trying to make a decision.
The result?
Give it a listen!

Clayton Kershaw, Jordy Mercer, Alex Gordon and either R.A. Dickey or A.J. Griffin all owned baseball on June 26, 2013.

Who Owned Baseball Yesterday (May 23rd) – Updated Yearly ‘WOB’ Standings

Andrew McCutchen

It was a light day in baseball on May 23rd. But that won’t stop me from awarding the title of Who Owns Baseball for the day.

Four players increased their WOB by one.

Miguel Cabrera got on base four times including 2 hits, one of them being a 2 run homer. He scored in the game tying 7th inning rally and helped set up Prince Fielder‘s game winning hit in the 8th inning as the Tigers beat Minnesota 7-6.

Scott Barnes pitched three shutout innings in relief for his first career save and gave the Indians bullpen a respite as the Tribe beat the Red Sox 12-3 in Boston.

Andrew McCutchen went 3-4 with a pair of runs batted in and made a great catch as the Pirates beat the Cubs, 4-2.

With the Pirates and Cubs playing the only National League game and a rain delay preventing either starter from going long, the WOB honor goes to Pittsburgh closer Jason Grilli. He threw a perfect 9th inning and for his 19th save in 19 tries, lowering his ERA to a microscopic 1.25 as the Pirates swept the Cubs.
