your team every day. Hello

2:01

baseball fans welcome to lockdown and they'll be part

2:03

of the lockdown podcast network where it's your team

2:05

every day. This is the daily podcast we talk

2:07

about all the major league baseball. I am your

2:10

host Paul Francis Sullivan. If you don't believe me

2:12

I can prove it. There's my lower third.

2:14

My name is Sully. I

2:16

have been a baseball podcast for well

2:19

over a decade and in just

2:22

a couple hours we're gonna start

2:24

my sixth full regular season here

2:27

as a member of the lockdown podcast network. Follow

2:29

us at lockdown and there'll be pods on Twitter

2:31

or whatever it's called now and on Instagram I

2:33

am your pal Sully. I'm at Sully baseball on

2:35

Twitter. Sully baseball podcast on Instagram

2:37

and if you're gonna be posting on

2:40

those sites then let me just ask you

2:42

use the hashtag every day Sully so

2:45

we have an idea who's listening to

2:47

us every single day. We're gonna be

2:49

doing some ridiculously early World Series predictions.

2:51

I'm gonna be previewing some of the

2:54

things that you're gonna see on this

2:57

feed for the next few days. It's gonna be a

2:59

bunch of this. It's gonna be a

3:02

tidal wave of shows coming on here including

3:04

some of my predictions and other people's predictions

3:06

as well and oh yeah

3:08

we're gonna talk a little

3:10

bit about my suggestion of what some other teams can

3:12

do and a proud

3:14

Sully baseball pod old

3:17

Sully baseball podcast and old Sully

3:19

baseball YouTube channel tradition continues

3:22

with the In Memoriam video

3:24

which has already dropped. Let's

3:26

go to the trivia question

3:29

which was what city

3:32

has hosted the most

3:34

Cleveland postseason clinchers?

3:37

Now I made

3:39

a point to carefully phrase this. The

3:42

city of Cleveland whether they're the

3:45

spiders, the naps, the

3:47

Indians or the Guardians whatever they're

3:50

called have clinched several

3:52

postseason series in their

3:54

history but very few in front of their

3:56

home fans. The great run that

3:58

Mike Hargrove had in the 1990s

4:02

had a grand total of one

4:04

home clinching and

4:06

their run to the World Series a few years

4:08

ago had no home clenches. There

4:10

have only been three times that

4:12

the Cleveland has clinched a postseason

4:14

series in their home ballpark

4:17

and another city has

4:20

seen five times

4:23

the Cleveland actually truth be told they were

4:25

always Cleveland Indians every time they did this

4:28

clinch whether it was a one-game playoff

4:31

a postseason

4:34

series or a World Series

4:37

and what city is that well a

4:39

couple of people guess all over the

4:41

map some people

4:43

guess New York some people guess

4:46

Toronto Roger Molina

4:49

guessed Boston and that's

4:51

correct Cleveland

4:53

won a one-game playoff to clinch the

4:55

pennant in 1948 at Fenway Park

4:59

they also clinched the

5:01

1995 division series at Fenway Park they clinch

5:06

the 1998 division series at

5:09

Fenway Park and they clinch the 2016

5:12

division series at Fenway Park

5:14

if the ball bounced this way or that

5:16

they also could have clinched the 99 division

5:19

series in the 07 ALCS

5:21

at Fenway Park as well but Fenway

5:23

Park has seen four

5:26

different Cleveland clinchings

5:28

but those of you are

5:30

carefully listening heard

5:32

that I said that city hosted five times

5:35

what city was that who saw

5:38

five Cleveland clinchings? Well Mr.

5:40

Molina is right it's still Boston the

5:43

last time Cleveland won the World

5:45

Series they beat the

5:48

Boston Braves at Braves

5:50

Field so the city

5:52

of Boston whether it's at Braves Field or

5:54

Fenway Park has been the home

5:56

for Five different Cleveland

5:58

championships. So there. Go. The.

6:01

Answer is Boston. Well.

6:04

We're having a soft opening your arm that

6:06

the main reason as I said it is

6:09

a I'm not a big fan about starting.

6:11

The. Season overseas.

6:14

Is. Because. A

6:17

kind of messes up what opening day it

6:19

opened a should be a big celebration that

6:21

we just start the baseball season. Instead.

6:23

We're going to have the soft opening

6:26

soon as I discussed. for knows I've

6:28

haven't Little bit of allergies here are

6:30

you use See the season begins in

6:32

Seoul in just a few hours. And

6:34

then ever goes back to spring training and

6:37

then the seasons can start again. I've that's

6:39

one is why want to see the season

6:41

start with the All Star game? I want

6:43

to see that definitive years to start of

6:45

the year. It's. Weird

6:48

when they do it like this, but thankfully

6:50

I do it every single year and well,

6:53

As it is what it is and I'm

6:55

sure it's can be huge such showing so

6:57

I have no problem. As I said the

6:59

other day with going overseas I liked the

7:01

Wanted series. I I right when they go

7:04

to Tokyo or Australia or your answer the

7:06

saucers can be terrific. I just wish the

7:08

good is the middle of the season. Instead,

7:11

the start because I'd like opening

7:13

day. Bone. Being a big saying,

7:15

it's also time you make predictions and I'm

7:17

watch the In Memoriam video which are to

7:19

do with the beginning of the year and.

7:23

I. Toyed with the idea of once

7:25

in a memorial video. On.

7:27

The opening day for all of baseball

7:29

but then I saw well I don't

7:31

know what their my rules, why am

7:33

I gonna do, why can I bend

7:36

them So where we do right now.

7:38

I'm going to destroy it was can

7:40

be on the site in the next

7:43

few days as can be an avalanche

7:45

of division previous. This. Can be

7:47

one show or the cover the

7:49

al East. North. And essential for

7:51

the west. And at least and also

7:53

and I was all the experts from all

7:55

the different shows or can be make their

7:57

picks newcastle me on there as well. So

8:00

you're gonna see what you're a wake

8:02

up one morning and as Gabi like

8:05

six new episodes in your feet and

8:07

everyone's predictions can be on there. I

8:09

made my pecs and so am I

8:11

going to spoil all the pics by

8:14

Mateo my main picks in terms of.

8:17

Well. My ridiculously early post

8:19

season predictions. And. Here's

8:21

the deal. I.

8:23

Remember earlier. In the

8:25

year before i January February when someone was

8:27

blathering about how based on these a salary

8:29

cap which it doesn't. Person.

8:32

Said I was I was challenge of up a

8:34

source of as the same teams winning every year.

8:37

And. I said no. You think about football. Or.

8:40

That some baseball as well they need a

8:42

capsule you have this so not the same

8:44

teams winning every year and is it won't

8:46

you notice said. It's. A Law

8:48

The same teams in basketball as it's virtually

8:51

always the same themes in football. As.

8:53

Well the oh. Is the

8:56

what is he sets of the or he

8:58

said I'm tired of the Yankees and the

9:00

Dodgers winning every year. And it's

9:02

oh and you must be in heaven. Because.

9:04

In the last twenty years, the Yankees

9:06

and Dodgers have each one the World

9:08

Series a grand total of months. Dodgers.

9:11

Won at once. The Yankees won once. So you

9:13

must be and have. It has

9:15

no seamless this narrative. A new small market teams

9:18

can't compete. Small market teams are it all the

9:20

time. You have people

9:22

by championships. Really really really.

9:24

They by wins. The. You

9:26

may be able to buy, it's up to

9:28

the post season wasn't going to buy you

9:30

a championship, he still got a when those

9:32

games and a lot of people who are

9:34

now. I'm in Los Angeles County right now

9:37

and as a tremendous months I meant for

9:39

the arrival of Sohail, Tommy and other was

9:41

sealed and will drive down to Orange County

9:43

Now could see Sohail time to play at

9:45

Dodger Stadium. I

9:47

don't see to die to sit in a win the World Series this

9:49

year. I don't

9:51

think are going to get into the waters usc. I

9:54

think they're going to lose in the playoffs, and I think

9:56

that little they may when one hundred sixty eight games. I

10:00

am not gonna pick them to go

10:02

the World Series, nor am I going

10:04

to take the Yankees, nor I going

10:06

to pick the defending champion Rangers. Here's

10:08

a deal. I

10:10

think. There's. One team.

10:13

That. Is internationally that it is

10:16

perfectly designed. For. A. It

10:19

may not be designed to win the division they made up

10:21

with. The division. But. There's one

10:23

teams I look hour ago like

10:25

that is a monster designed. To.

10:28

Win playoff series especially if everything

10:30

fires on all cylinders which is

10:32

very well might. And

10:35

I think there's another team in the American

10:37

League which is gonna be a much there's

10:39

There's much more parity in the American League

10:41

and is a much harder to. Division.

10:44

Two. Are retarded lead

10:46

to make and heads or tails out

10:49

of make any predictions of but I'm

10:51

going to make my ridiculous sleep early

10:53

World Series production and August we're going

10:55

to stand as my preseason prediction. Do.

10:58

I think it's gonna be the rangers know. Gothic.

11:01

Assume be the Astros know. That.

11:04

I think it's going to be Los

11:06

Angeles know.in the city Atlanta know. Starting

11:08

any team in the sensors gonna get

11:10

him. Absolutely not. Do.

11:12

I think that it's can be a California

11:14

team. Actually

11:17

know. What?

11:19

Do I think it's gonna happen? While.

11:22

You're here are my predictions. I actually I

11:24

picked the Tigers to win the Americans essential

11:27

because I think on eighty five wins are

11:29

going to go there as it is a

11:31

couple teams that win one hundred games. But

11:33

in terms of who do I think is

11:36

going to go to the World Series? well

11:38

folks here is my ridiculously early predictions. And

11:41

a fan bases of these

11:43

two teams since Karim in

11:45

agony because my picks are

11:47

almost always wrong. But.

11:50

I believe this october. We.

11:52

Are going to party. Like.

11:55

It's nineteen Eighty three. That's

11:59

right, I'm. Picking.

12:02

A. Baltimore. Philadelphia,

12:05

World. Series. Not. Only

12:07

takes about an hour hour and a

12:09

half to get from Baltimore to Philadelphia.

12:12

You. And I know that he saw the movie Twelve

12:14

Monkeys. However, That.

12:17

Tiny distance. Will. Be

12:19

for the world! I look at

12:21

this Baltimore team. I like the

12:23

pitching I like they're having. I like to

12:25

use. I like the fact that they have

12:28

the the wherewithal to make some big trades

12:30

if they need anything. I like the fact

12:32

that the cloud of we can't Trust or

12:34

ownership has been removed. I think the guy

12:37

the Cy Young award winner. I like everything

12:39

about the team that won one hundred games

12:41

last year. And. Philadelphia,

12:43

I think is a frankenstein's

12:45

monster that is designed to

12:48

win postseason games. I. Think

12:50

you're going to win ninety to ninety five games as

12:52

is A of the pitching staff. I think they have

12:54

the lineup. I think they have the pussies of. And

12:58

I think the Phillies are going to play

13:00

the Baltimore Orioles. And.

13:02

The Phillies are gonna win. This

13:04

is gonna be Bryce Harper is year

13:06

to win a championship. This is gonna

13:09

be the year that Philadelphia fans are

13:11

going to looking say holy cow. We.

13:13

Just one our third title

13:15

and Baltimore fans will be

13:18

reenergize thinking holy cow! This.

13:20

Is what winning feels like Now I

13:22

of course have just doomed. Both.

13:25

Of those franchises, but I don't

13:27

really care. That's. My pick.

13:30

And I'm sticking with it. is

16:07

24 seven streaming channel and YouTube

16:09

or the free Amazon fire

16:11

TV channel app. Got

16:14

a quick suggestion to make.

16:17

I'm picking the Detroit Tigers to win

16:19

the American League Central because I think

16:21

they're great. No, no, I don't. Because

16:25

I think they're a team of destiny. No. But

16:28

I think the twins are going

16:30

to regress. Cleveland,

16:32

I think, doesn't have the horses

16:34

yet. I think Kansas

16:36

City is greatly improved, but greatly

16:39

improved means the 78 win season

16:41

and the White Sox are in full

16:44

tank mode. They pick

16:46

up some nice young players, but they're nowhere near

16:48

it. I think by default,

16:51

the Tigers are going to win the division with 82 to 85

16:53

wins. That

16:55

entire division is winnable. If

16:57

you're Cleveland or

16:59

Minnesota or Detroit, for

17:01

that matter, how can you

17:04

not see that one

17:06

extra win each month? April,

17:09

May, June, July,

17:12

August, September. That's

17:14

six. One extra win

17:17

every single month could

17:19

be the difference between winning

17:21

the division or not. Does that mean you're going

17:24

to go far? Probably not, but you never know.

17:26

No one saw the Phillies going to the World Series

17:28

a few years ago or the Diamondbacks going last year.

17:31

You don't know. Punch your card

17:33

and roll the dice and see what happens. And

17:36

with that in mind, baseball

17:39

games are going to be playing in just a couple of hours in

17:41

Seoul. Games that count.

17:44

Jordan Montgomery is not signed. Jordan

17:46

Montgomery is a legitimate major league pitcher who could

17:48

help a lot of teams. J.D.

17:50

Martinez is unsigned. He's

17:52

an all-star hitter whose baseball IQ

17:55

is through the charts. Michael

17:57

Lorenzen was an all-star last

17:59

year. and played in

18:01

the postseason and threw a no-hitter and

18:04

you can get him. Brandon

18:06

Belt, Donovan Solano, Tommy

18:08

Pham, Robbie Grossman, or any

18:10

of these players the

18:13

next great MVP? No, but all

18:15

of them are major

18:17

leaguers. All of

18:19

them could potentially, if you have a

18:21

hole in your team, Cleveland is the team

18:23

I'm looking at, and I mentioned Miami the

18:26

other day, but Cleveland always has issues with

18:28

their hitting. If you put

18:30

Tommy Pham and J.D. Martinez into your

18:32

lineup with a decent pitching staff, do

18:35

I think that will mean that

18:37

Cleveland's gonna clinch a postseason

18:39

spot? No, because Boston's not gonna make

18:41

the postseason and Cleveland has to clinch

18:44

in Boston. I mentioned that earlier in today's

18:46

show, but if

18:48

you have a J.D. Martinez and a Tommy Pham,

18:50

or if your team that needs another arm, there's

18:52

Michael Lorenzo just sitting there. There's a

18:57

lot of people who are like, you

18:59

know, why am I biking under the roof? You know what I'm saying.

19:03

Jordan Montgomery. I couldn't think of Jordan Montgomery's name for a second.

19:05

Forgive me, it's kind of late. How

19:08

is this that you're having these teams? It's

19:10

a division where nothing is

19:14

good. There is

19:16

no very good team in that division, and

19:19

if you look up and say, hey, what if we just win the

19:21

division and you'd

19:23

have home field advantage in the Wild

19:26

Card Series, hope you pull off

19:28

a win like the twins did last year, and

19:30

then you take your chances. I've

19:32

talked over and over about the lessons

19:34

that we should have learned from the

19:36

Braves winning the 2021 World Series. I

19:40

call it the lesson of Eddie Rosario, but

19:43

if you put major leaguers in spots,

19:46

you have a better chance of winning. Six

19:48

games. That's a game a month.

19:50

You improve your team enough to pick

19:53

up one extra win a month. Could

19:55

be the difference between a totally forgotten

19:57

team that's playing golf and the first

20:00

day of the playoffs and a totally

20:02

forgotten team that actually got to play

20:04

in a couple postseason games. Oh

20:06

but Sully may cost you a draft pick or may

20:09

cost you some slot money. At some

20:11

point aren't you gonna actually try to win a game?

20:14

At some point aren't you saying hey wait a minute what

20:17

if we have turnstiles clicking in

20:19

September? What if we have people watching

20:21

the games in September because they know

20:24

this is their their games that count?

20:27

At some point that has to enter the

20:29

framework doesn't it? And you have all of

20:31

these players none of them are gonna break

20:34

your bank. None

20:36

of them. You could say what if you just

20:38

called the ball up and say like hey I'm offering

20:40

all of you a one-year

20:44

six million dollar contract. I

20:48

mean that's not a lot for them it's a

20:50

lot for me. Six million dollars you

20:52

should buy you a whole biomic man but say

20:54

hey here it is if you want it there it is. And if

20:58

you're a team like Detroit and you

21:00

can say what if we can steal a division

21:02

title? Wake up this

21:04

team. A team that has a ton of

21:06

young talent. A ton of terrific talent coming

21:09

through the system and what if you just

21:11

populate the team with a bunch of veterans.

21:13

A bunch of

21:15

veterans who are filling in those spots not

21:17

for the long term and you have the

21:19

excitement the juice and some of those young

21:22

players get to participate in a postseason series.

21:24

When did that work? Not just 2021 with

21:26

the Atlanta Braves that

21:28

worked with the Boston Strong Red Sox. Granted

21:32

they still had Big Poppy and

21:34

Dustin Pedroia and John Lester but the

21:36

rest of that team was patchwork together.

21:38

They stunk the year before and they

21:41

put major leaguers around there they rolled

21:43

the dice and look what freakin happened.

21:46

I'm not saying that's going to happen. I'm

21:48

not even saying it's probable that's going to

21:51

happen. But for goodness sakes if you can

21:53

pop if you can get a JD Martinez

21:55

if you could put two all-star

21:58

pitchers you know a pitcher played

22:00

in the All-Star Game Master. I had a good play in the

22:02

All-Star Game Master and one of the most

22:04

coveted pitchers at the trade deadline and you can

22:06

get them all on one year deals and roll

22:08

the dice. Would someone explain

22:10

to me why you wouldn't do that? If

22:12

that's the difference between a lost

22:15

year and the year was like, hey if

22:17

no one else wants to win this, for

22:19

God's sakes, why don't

22:22

we? Hey

25:24

follow me at Sully Baseball on

25:27

Twitter or whatever it's called now or on Instagram

25:29

Sully Baseball podcast, I have the links to it

25:31

to my own personal YouTube page where it goes

25:33

on. And every year I used

25:36

to do it at the All Star Game but starting the COVID

25:38

year I now do it at the start of the season. And

25:41

I think that that's a way to sort of

25:43

kick off the year. I mean

25:45

it's a sad way to kick off the year but

25:48

to pay tribute is before we begin a new

25:50

season and build new memories, let's

25:52

look at some of the players who well,

25:54

who are there, who

25:56

we were part of our

25:59

great love. of this game and

26:02

you know baseball has the

26:04

illusion of being the past, present, and future

26:06

all happening simultaneously but we

26:08

get sobering reminders

26:12

that life moves on and there's it was I

26:16

just launched it today and as

26:18

always I have it I

26:21

based it upon the way that they used to do

26:23

the in the morning videos at the Oscars mainly

26:26

the ways that they did in the 80s and

26:28

the 90s was really beautiful and find

26:30

a dramatic piece of music from the

26:32

movies I pulled a

26:34

clip from Unforgiven by Lenny Nehaas and

26:36

Clint Eastwood did the music for that

26:40

it's called Claudia's Theme and it's the

26:42

end credits of Unforgiven which is a

26:44

great movie and when

26:47

you do the in the moment when I do the in the morning

26:49

video it takes a lot

26:51

of work yeah I know I can't

26:53

do it overnight I have to find

26:55

a piece of music I have to listen to the piece

26:58

of music over and over and over again and try

27:00

to get the rhythm of it and

27:02

try to get the points of where the

27:04

music goes up where it goes down where

27:06

there beats that you can edit to and

27:10

you get used

27:12

to the music and you say oh at

27:14

this point the music gets dramatic so I

27:16

want to put you know you want to

27:18

put real hearts you know a heart-wrenching one

27:20

there and yeah I

27:23

unabashedly try to pull the heartstrings

27:25

on it and when I do

27:27

it I always try to

27:30

start with a big name and I

27:32

was trying to end it with a big name and

27:34

then throughout the way there's like I see what

27:36

are the five or six ones that are gonna

27:38

really have the biggest emotional wall but

27:41

there are people this year like you know like

27:44

Vida Blue and Tim Wakefield and but

27:46

Harrison and Brooks Robinson Roger

27:48

Craig a lot of people who mean you know

27:51

they mean a lot to a lot of people and

27:53

so I try to arrange it so

27:57

you know there's sometimes I just show

27:59

like There's some slides, there's some

28:01

still images of people, but I try

28:03

my best to have as many moving

28:05

parts as well, if not with sound,

28:08

because it's more interesting if it

28:10

has video instead of just still pictures. Inevitably,

28:13

there's some people who fall through the cracks, and

28:16

that's why I say here are some of the names. And

28:19

there's a couple of things that were really hard to do

28:21

on this one. There

28:24

was a guy named Jim Price who's one

28:27

of the announcers for the Tigers. I couldn't find a good beat

28:30

for him. I

28:33

couldn't find a good sound bite. And

28:37

when it's an announcer, I

28:39

try my best to have a good sound bite for them.

28:44

And I couldn't find one

28:46

that really worked. By

28:48

the way, Scott Bentley of Locked On

28:50

Tigers helped me find a good piece

28:52

for that. But

28:54

yeah, some of them were hard to do. And

28:58

one of the ones I found really difficult

29:01

was I wanted Roger Craig, who is this

29:03

great folksy attitude to

29:05

him and is a quote machine. I

29:08

thought I'd be able to pull a quote. I

29:11

couldn't find one that was succinct.

29:15

You could find a great clip, this wonderful clip

29:17

of the late Ed Ott basically getting

29:19

it inside the park home run. It

29:22

just was too long a clip. It would have been

29:24

like, is this the Ed Ott show? You

29:28

try to stay on some of

29:30

them to let them breathe, but

29:32

you also have to – you

29:35

can't have it be a 20-minute long one. A few

29:37

years ago, I did have one that

29:39

went very long, like 10 minutes, but that's when this old

29:41

nine Hall of Famers died. So

29:44

you've got to pay tribute to the ones. So this

29:47

was a hard one to do. And

29:51

there was a sound clip for

29:54

the final one, the last name, which is

29:56

a bit of a wallop. And

29:59

I Heard a sound clip. a bite. As

30:01

if that's our last one. That's the last

30:03

line. That's gotta be the thing that Wrenches

30:06

deal pulls up the heart. To.

30:08

The problem that I had was that. The.

30:10

Sound: Whoever recorded The sound.

30:13

Of this event with this person

30:15

said the really heartbreaking mind I'm

30:18

I'm convinced they were using the

30:20

original telephone invented by Alexander Graham

30:22

Bell. I mean it was. The

30:24

sound was so horrible. It. Sounded

30:27

so tinny and nasty. Ever

30:29

a huge sound I don't like a by I

30:31

can't end. The. Video with that

30:33

and listen like it's like we

30:36

found a or a recording of

30:38

Grover Cleveland, Alexander, and Nineteen Twenty

30:40

Eight. Know, it was recorded in

30:42

like Twenty twelve. On.

30:44

In high def. but the sound of it

30:47

was horrible. And. It broke my

30:49

heart. Carlos a fabulous great wine and

30:51

I spent over an hour. Going.

30:54

Through the internet trying to find did

30:56

he say to this person say this

30:58

line somewhere else and after a long

31:00

search was about to throw in the

31:02

towel. A. Sad. And

31:05

a radio broadcast at the same event.

31:07

they actually brought in good microphones. So

31:09

there you go. So please please please

31:11

follow me at Locked On and will

31:14

be Pods and Twitter and it's an

31:16
