On this week’s episode of the Call To The Bullpen MLB Podcast, Corey and Pat kick things off by discussing Bryce Harper. Should the Nationals play him Opening Day? Should he start out in AAA? Should he wait until June? They cover all angles, plus a variety of other topics.
On this week’s episode of the Call To The Bullpen MLB Podcast, things get heated this week with Corey and Pat having a serious debate over which pitcher we would build our respective franchises around: Tim Lincecum or Clayton Kershaw.
Corey and Pat are back after a one-week hiatus to discuss all of the latest happenings in baseball (Prince Fielder in Detroit among them) and look ahead to the 2013 with some pre-Spring Training predictions.
On this episode of Call to the Bullpen, Corey and Pat talk about the most important happenings in baseball over the last week, including the Rangers signing Yu Darvish and the chances that they will also get Prince Fielder as well.
Defense versus Offense is the quintessential argument in sports. Saturday, another chapter will be written on this polarizing subject as the second-ranked 49ers defense will be faced with the task of shutting down the high-powered offense that may seem to be on the heels of another dominant victory.
In this edition of the Call to the Bullpen, Corey and Pat discuss Bud Selig’s extension as Commissioner and, if he were to retire tomorrow, what his legacy would be. Plus, hot stove updates on a variety on big names.
In the inaugural edition of MSF’s baseball podcast “Call to the Bullpen” Corey D’Souza and I look at where remaining free agents Prince Fielder and Edwin Jackson may end up, and they analyze the Carlos Zambrano trade to the Miami Marlins from the Chicago Cubs and what that could mean for each team.
I’m Pat Suley, one of the occasional contributors (and Canadian correspondent) here at Midwest Sports Fans. And for the month of November I’ve been participating in “Movember” where people grow mustaches to raise money for prostate cancer.
Both of the teams in this year’s ALCS, the Rangers and the Tigers, are easy to get behind. One team advances, the other will have to spend the winter waiting for their next chance. The MLB postseason is down to its final four and these two teams could be matching up for a classic.
With baseball wrapping up, no NBA season in sight, and the NFL only being on a couple times a week, looks like you’ll be turning to the ice for your sports fix. So kick back, relax and enjoy the conclusion of the MSF NHL Preview.
As the resident Canadian of MSF, Pat Suley was born with a Rainman-like talent for projecting hockey results. So in a rare moment where he’s not completely focused on the MLB postseason, he has decided to tell you how I see this upcoming NHL season unfolding.
Led by their Four Aces, the Phillies cruised to their fifth straight NL East title, winning a franchise-record 102 games. The Cardinals needed an incredible collapse by Atlanta and help from Philadelphia to earn the wild card. They meet up starting today in one NLDS matchup.
The ALDS match-up between the surging Tampa Bay Rays and the steady Texas Rangers has all the makings of a classic, featuring two teams that have had good fortune shine upon them this season.
Like most people who read Michael Lewis’ “Moneyball”, when Trick Suley heard that a movie was in production, he was flummoxed. How could you possibly turn a book that did not have a traditional story arc, and that focused more on interesting details day-by-day of the A’s 2002 season, into a feature film? The result was a very pleasant surprise.
Pat Suley believes the race comes down to two players: Jose Bautista of the Blue Jays and Justin Verlander of the Tigers. He also has a message, and a convincing one at that, for all of the “merely ignorant or stupid” folks who say that pitchers should not merit MVP consideration.
